SQream Raises $39.4 Million in Series B+

SQream Technologies Ltd, provider of a data analytics acceleration platform that enables enterprises to gain insights from their massive data stores, raised $39.4 million in series B+ funding.

The round was led by Mangrove Capital Partners and Schusterman Family Investments, who joined existing investors, including Hanaco Venture Capital, Sistema VC, World Trade Center Ventures, Blumberg Capital, Silvertech Ventures and Alibaba Group.

The proceeds of the investment will be used to recruit talent to accelerate company’s technology and cloud innovation, and customer delivery platforms.

While the Covid-19 pandemic created a major challenge for some companies, SQream’s growth is accelerating and the company chose to raise funds from new investors, and to add veteran investor Charlie Federman from Silvertech Ventures, and leading venture capitalist Roy Saar from Mangrove Capital Partners to its board of directors.

This round of financing underscores both the company’s existing and new investors’ confidence in SQream, and the team’s ability to deliver business critical innovation to leading global enterprises.

“I have watched with enthusiasm the product innovation and resulting customer enthusiasm that SQream has earned from large global customers,” said Charlie Federman, partner, Silvertech Ventures. “I am excited to be joining SQream’s board of directors at this critical time in its growth into the cloud, and believe that SQream will be a really important vendor for enterprises that need help getting timely critical insights from their data.”

SQream’s data acceleration platform enables the fast analysis of hundreds of terabytes to petabytes of raw data from Hadoop or other data warehouses and databases. With it in their data pipeline, enterprises gain unrestricted access to their data, and are free to focus on uncovering new business powering insights.

“Given the growth of data, which has been on a rocket-ship trajectory to zettabyte levels due to rapid digitalization, we are just scraping the surface of how companies will be generating value from their data,” said Roy Saar, partner, Mangrove Capital Partners. “We are impressed by the quality and experience of the management team. We also share the conviction in SQream’s important role in driving business performance and providing a competitive edge. I could not be more excited about SQream’s potential for making a significant impact in the market.“

“From the very beginning, our vision has been to enable enterprises to analyze more of their data much faster, providing better, more accurate and comprehensive business insights,” said Ami Gal, CEO and co-founder, SQream. “We have made our vision a reality by continuously improving our product, and by investing in top developers who enjoy the challenge and motivation of deep tech product innovation.”

“The commitment we have received from both new and existing investors in this round, and from our customers, even during such a challenging period, is a strong validation of our vision and market potential,” he noted. “We look forward to working together to accelerate our expansion, and to further empower enterprises across the globe with timely and impactful business insights.”
