Our take

Dataiku was founded on the principle that companies must use data to continuously innovate to succeed in a rapidly evolving ecosystem. As a centralised data platform, Dataiku guides businesses from analytics at scale to enterprise AI. It provides a common ground for data experts and explorers, offering best practices, shortcuts to AI deployment, and a controlled environment.

Customers like Unilever, GE, and Comcast use Dataiku to accelerate growth and innovation by removing roadblocks and enabling faster, smarter work. Despite substantial funding in 2023, Dataiku faced a 20% lower valuation than in 2021, indicating challenges even for successful tech firms. Nonetheless, Dataiku launched its Dataiku 11 platform in 2022, continuing to enhance its offerings.

In 2024, Dataiku announced a strategic alliance with Teragonia, a leading provider of AI solutions for private equity portfolio value creation. This collaboration leverages Dataiku's AI capabilities to enhance Teragonia's real-time analytics and strategic agility, aiming to accelerate revenue growth and profitability for clients. This partnership reflects Teragonia's trust in Dataiku's technology and underscores the platform's ability to democratise data and empower private equity firms to unlock significant value.
