Quantexa’s strong innovation pipeline, global presence and go-to-market strategy set the stage for continued growth, supporting its expanding customer base in building trusted data foundations for AI
LONDON, Oct. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantexa, a global leader in Decision Intelligence (DI) solutions for the public and private sectors, announced today that it has surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). This accomplishment sees Quantexa achieve Centaur status, joining an elite group of SaaS businesses recognized in this category - first introduced by Bessemer Ventures Partners.
Achieving Centaur status is seven times rarer than becoming a Unicorn. In April 2023, Quantexa announced that it had achieved Unicorn status, following the completion of its $129 million Series E funding round. The round gave the company a post-money valuation of $1.8 billion. As the latest organization to gain Centaur status, the UK-founded business joins an elite group of companies worldwide that achieve this recognition each year.
Vishal Marria, Founder and CEO of Quantexa, said:“As a UK-founded business, we strive to remain at the forefront of tech innovation, penetrating new markets and industries. At Quantexa, we’ve experienced growth on an unprecedented scale. Thanks to the support of our talented team, trust of our growing customer base, the enthusiasm of our widening partner ecosystem, and the shared vision of our investors, we’ve been able to invest to grow our platform capabilities and global presence which is underpinning our strong momentum leading to this achievement.”
Marria continued, “With a strong platform foundation and innovation pipeline, global footprint and scalable go-to-market strategy, we are well positioned to continue expanding and growing our customer base and meet the demand for cutting edge data unification and generative AI solutions. We are seeing organizations turn to AI to enable multiple use cases, and what we are discovering is that without an enterprise-wide data foundation, it is not possible to operationalize data at scale. Clients are partnering with Quantexa to clean, curate, and contextualize data quickly, preparing it for a range of AI initiatives.”
