Arrival of Google in Dataiku’s capital
After a new fundraising in December 2013, the value of the French start-up increased and passed the billion-dollar bar, Dataiku thus accessing the status of unicorn.
If Dataiku achieved this performance, it is in large part due to the equity investment from CapitalG, Google’s investment fund, which bought out the shares held by Serena, another private equity firm.
The amount raised is not disclosed, but the company is now valued to $1.4 billion.
