Investment

Data transformation software provider Matillion has announced a £72 million round of funding. 

Matillion, which was founded outside Manchester in 2013, says it is meeting exploding demand for cloud data integration for global enterprises including Amazon, Siemens, Subway, Novartis, Slack and Accenture. 

Lightspeed Venture Partners led the Series D round with participation from Battery Ventures, Sapphire Ventures and Scale Venture Partners, with financing from Silicon Valley Bank in the UK. 

Matillion says the investment will accelerate global adoption of its cloud-based product which enables organisations to transform raw data into refined, analytics-ready data to support business intelligence, visualisation, artificial intelligence and machine learning.  

Its data integration platform works with Snowflake, Amazon Redshift and Databricks, delivering powerful low-code or no-code solutions for a wide range of data professionals within hundreds of companies around the world.
