History

Dataiku was founded in Paris in 2013 by Florian Douetteau, Clément Stenac, Thomas Cabrol and Marc Batty.[4][1] In 2015, Dataiku established itself in the United States in New York City.

In January 2015, Dataiku raised $3.6 million from Serena Capital and Alven Capital, two French technology venture capital funds.[5] This was followed by $14 million raised with FirstMark Capital, a New York City-based venture capital firm in October 2016.[6]

In September 2017 the company raised a $28 million Series B investment from Battery Ventures, as well as historic investors.[7]

In December 2018, Dataiku announced a $101 million Series C funding round led by ICONIQ Capital. Other investors included Alven Capital, Battery Ventures, Dawn Capital and FirstMark Capital.[8]

In December 2019, one day after releasing Dataiku 6, Dataiku announced that CapitalG—the late-stage growth venture capital fund financed by Alphabet Inc.—purchased some of the shares previously owned by Serena Capital in a secondary round that valued Dataiku at $1.4 billion, making it a unicorn.[9]

In August 2020, Dataiku announced an additional $100 million Series D funding round led by Stripes and Tiger Global Management,[4] and participation from existing investors including Battery Ventures, CapitalG, Dawn Capital, FirstMark Capital, and ICONIQ. The company did not disclose its new valuation, but said that it was "still a unicorn".

In August 2021, Dataiku announced another $400 million raise Series E by Tiger Global Management, bringing its total valuation to $4.6 billion.[2]

In December 2022, Dataiku announced a $200 million Series F led by new investor Wellington Management.[10][11][12]
