Tredence — a leading provider of analytics services and solutions — announced that it has secured $30 million in funding from Chicago Pacific Founders (CPF), a private equity firm specializing in investing in growth companies within healthcare services and care for aging populations. And the investment will create tangible value in the intersection of AI and healthcare and accelerate job creation in the US and abroad.

The partnership with Chicago Pacific Founders opens the door for Tredence to utilize its signature AI capabilities in the ever-expanding and continuously evolving healthcare services market. And similarly in adding Tredence as its first AI-focused portfolio investment, Chicago Pacific Founders reaffirms its commitment to lead innovation and transformational change in the healthcare sector.

The additional funding will also support Tredence’s continued organic growth in areas such as last mile adoption and further fuel innovation and expansion. And Tredence’s expansion plan includes broadening its geographic footprint and increasing its existing presence in industry verticals like retail, CPG, industrials, technology and telecommunications.

A testament to the increasing business applications for AI across verticals and geographies, Tredence increased its global workforce by 10% over the past six months. And while the US Department of Labor reported a November 2020 unemployment rate of nearly twice what it was before the pandemic, Tredence continues to hire. In fact, the company has grown its US workforce by 15 percent and counting over the last six months.

And Tredence opened two new offices in India last month and the newly secured funding will accelerate the company’s growth in the US where Tredence currently has four offices, including its US headquarters in San Jose, Calif. and a delivery center in Chicago. Plus the additional capital will also enable Tredence to expand into Europe and China.
