History
Dataiku was founded in Paris in 2013 by Florian Douetteau, Clément Stenac, Thomas Cabrol and Marc Batty.[4][1] In 2015, Dataiku established itself in the United States in New York City.
In January 2015, Dataiku raised $3.6 million from Serena Capital and Alven Capital, two French technology venture capital funds.[5] This was followed by $14 million raised with FirstMark Capital, a New York City-based venture capital firm in October 2016.[6]
In September 2017 the company raised a $28 million Series B investment from Battery Ventures, as well as historic investors.[7]
In December 2018, Dataiku announced a $101 million Series C funding round led by ICONIQ Capital. Other investors included Alven Capital, Battery Ventures, Dawn Capital and FirstMark Capital.[8]
In December 2019, one day after releasing Dataiku 6, Dataiku announced that CapitalG—the late-stage growth venture capital fund financed by Alphabet Inc.—purchased some of the shares previously owned by Serena Capital in a secondary round that valued Dataiku at $1.4 billion, making it a unicorn.[9]
In August 2020, Dataiku announced an additional $100 million Series D funding round led by Stripes and Tiger Global Management,[4] and participation from existing investors including Battery Ventures, CapitalG, Dawn Capital, FirstMark Capital, and ICONIQ. The company did not disclose its new valuation, but said that it was "still a unicorn".

In 2025, a similar poll assessed that 74% feared similar job loss.[17]
