Coalesce.io: Data Transformation Company Raises $50 Million

By Amit Chowdhry • Apr 4, 2024

Data transformation company Coalesce.io has closed $50 million in Series B funding to drive growth. Industry Ventures and Emergence Capital led the funding round with participation from 11.2 Capital, Bob Muglia, DNX Ventures, GreatPoint Ventures, Hyperlink Ventures, Next Legacy Partners, Snowflake Ventures, and Telstra Ventures. Including this round, the company brought the company’s total funding to $81 million.

Since publicly launching in 2022, Coalesce has disrupted data transformation within the ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) workflow on the Snowflake Data Cloud. By focusing on the crucial data transformation phase — cleansing, modeling, and documenting raw data for use — Coalesce ensures that quality data is prepared for business intelligence and advanced analytics use cases. The unique approach to data transformation helps data teams accelerate data pipeline development and improve data collaboration.

For the fiscal year ending in January 2024, Coalesce saw over 4x growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR) year over year and received several industry accolades. This growth highlights the strong market demand and confidence in Coalesce’s data transformation solutions, proven by usage from major enterprises like Caesars Entertainment Group, CKE Restaurants, Denny’s, Houlihan Lokey, and TotalEnergies.

Going forward, Coalesce will concentrate on three areas:

1.) Enhancing customer satisfaction for improved software scalability and performance.

2.) Introducing AI-driven features and new capabilities designed for broader audiences.

3.) Boosting market awareness ensures that every Snowflake customer seeking efficiency and scale knows about Coalesce.
