eScooter startup Tier Mobility extended a funding round to more than US$100mil (RM419.25mil) from US$60mil (RM251.55mil), at a time of increasing regulatory scrutiny.

Berlin-based Tier said Friday it added RTP Global, Novator Partners, and a third backer it declined to name, to its so-called Series B fundraising announced in October. One of Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth vehicles is also investing.
