History

The company was founded in Paris in 2013 by 4 co-founders. Two of them met while working at French search engine company Exalead, including chief executive Florian Douetteau, and Clément Sténac.[1]

Dataiku opened an office in New York City in 2015[2] which became the company headquarters.[3] They opened an office in London in the summer of 2016, and announced an office in Sydney in February 2019.[4][5]

In 2017, Dataiku entered the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Science Platforms as a "visionary", moved up to the "challenger" quadrant in 2019 and then to "leader" in the 2020 edition.[6][7][8]

Products

The software Dataiku Data Science Studio (DSS) was announced in 2014, supporting predictive modelling to build business applications.[9] Later versions of DSS added other features.[10]

Dataiku offers a free edition and enterprise versions with additional features, such as multi-user collaboration or real-time scoring.

Funding

For its first two years, the company relied on its own capital. In January 2015, Dataiku raised $3.6 million from Serena Capital and Alven Capital, two French technology venture capital funds.[9] This was followed by $14 million raised with FirstMark Capital, a New York City-based venture capital firm in October 2016.[11] In September 2017 the company raised a $28 million Series B investment from Battery Ventures, as well as historic investors.[12] In December 2018 Dataiku raised $101 million for data science platform. Among investors were Iconiq Capital, Alven Capital, Battery Ventures, Dawn Capital and FirstMark Capital.[13] In December 2019, CapitalG purchased some of the shares previously owned by Serena Capital in a secondary round that valued Dataiku at $1.4 billion.[14]
