We come out with over a thousand product releases a year, literally release software two to three times a day.

That's the pace of innovation here at Data.World.

At Data.World, we didn't even make a dollar of revenue until we had raised over $50 million.

And we didn't break a dollar of revenue until 2018.

And the reason why is it's a very different business than Bizarre Voice.

It's a very wide surface area.

If you understand the data catalog space, it's basically a library for all of your internal data assets.

So it sits on top of Snowflake and Databricks and Oracle and Netizen and all other systems, both modern and old.

And it sits on top of Microsoft Power BI and Tableau and Looker and Google Data Studio and a bunch of others.

um you know domo and a bunch of other older bi systems so we have over 95 integrations and the surface area of what we're doing is really wide and we also have to be incredibly secure like you can imagine the cso process that we go through with customers we have a lot of cyber security customers on our platform a lot of companies you would have heard of that are that are truly big and we're in every market vertical now we're in the universities government agencies you know local state we're in um

a lot of corporations, from technology companies to financial services, to healthcare, to travel and retail and on and on and on.

So we're about 50-50 owned right now between investors and internally.

We've raised over $132 million to date.

The last round we raised was from Goldman Sachs.

That was a $50 million round.

They put in $40 million of that $50 million, and we were oversubscribed on the remaining 10.

Yeah, I can't share that on a podcast.

Trust me, Interwire and all the others try to get that all the time.

Well, we closed on our Series C in 2022.

So we did it after the crazy multiples, which turned out to be a huge blessing because there's a lot of companies that raised at like 100x ARR multiples, and that's a crushingly high multiple to live up to.
