DataRobot – an Augmented Intelligence leader – announced recently that it raised a $300 million Series G funding round to fuel platform innovation and enable the company to bring the transformative impact of Augmented Intelligence to customers around the world. And DataRobot is now valued at $6.3 billion post-money, more than double the valuation from its prior round raised in November last year.
This funding round was led by return investors Altimeter Capital and Tiger Global. And they were joined by new investors Counterpoint Global (Morgan Stanley), Franklin Templeton, ServiceNow Ventures, and Sutter Hill Ventures.
DataRobot’s Augmented Intelligence platform is trusted by a third of the Fortune 50. And by empowering organizations large and small across industries to use AI to help solve key business challenges, including building better products, improving customer relationships, more accurately forecasting demand, and decreasing costs, the company’s platform helps generate tremendous value for customers. Along with strengthening its Augmented Intelligence platform, the new funding will be used to further build out the company’s go-to-market team, including hiring across North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific/Japan to serve the company’s growing global customer base.
Along with the new funding round, DataRobot also revealed it acquired Algorithmia to further its stronghold as the leader in MLOps and allow customers to rapidly move from experimental to applied AI. And the acquisition provides customers with the ability to monitor and manage all models in production while continuously updating those models as data changes to achieve unprecedented value with AI.
