Striim helps companies move their data in real-time to the cloud. Moving that data fast only has gotten more important as businesses have needed to shift more processes online and to the cloud, and need to update inventory, payments and more as quickly as possible to keep up with demand.

鈥淓ven a few seconds matter,鈥� said founder and CEO . 鈥淚f I鈥檓 a business and I don鈥檛 have my supply chain in order, I can lose that sale to a customer.鈥�

Although the company does not release detailed financial information, Kutay said Striim has grown 100 percent or more the last few years and sees revenue in the 鈥渄ouble-digit millions of dollars.鈥�

The new money is planned to expand Striim’s go-to-market push and grow internationally, as well as invest in its platform. The 120-person company now has raised $100 million to date. The new Series C was led by , with , , 听补苍诲听 also participating.

Beginnings

Striim was founded in 2012, before streaming to the cloud was a big market. The company started out as a 鈥渂ig data鈥� company, but moved into data integration in 2016 when the cloud took hold and big data faded.

Now, with many enterprises going through their own digital transformation, Kutay said he believes the cloud data integration market will be around $10 billion in five years. Last year only accelerated that market, with verticals such as retail, logistics and payments all needing to move and access data from the cloud as fast as possible.

鈥淣o one was shopping online this much,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e think there are significant disruptions happening in a lot of verticals.鈥�

That type of market also brings competition. Kutay said older legacy companies such as and , as well as newer players such as聽聽鈥� which closed a $100 million last month — and 聽compete on some levels in the industry. He added Striim鈥檚 real-time capabilities helps separate it from many of the extract, transform, load (ETL) companies in the space.

Despite the competition, Mike Reilly, a vice president at Goldman Sachs Growth Equity, said the firm is thrilled to partner with Ali and Striim鈥檚 team, which has a proven and successful track record in the real-time data integration market.

鈥淭he company has strong traction with blue-chip customers, a best-in-class partner network, and a differentiated and flexible product offering that suits the needs of its growing enterprise customer base,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e believe Striim鈥檚 approach will allow them to meaningfully outperform its peers over the coming years.鈥�
