Funding round led by DFJ Growth, along with new investors IVP and BMW iVentures, to fuel expansion of Yellowbrick Data delivering breakthrough analytics for global 2000 enterprises
Palo Alto, CA - June 5, 2019 - Yellowbrick Data today announced it has secured $81 million in Series C funding to meet the global demand for the Yellowbrick Data Warehouse within the enterprise analytics market.

With Yellowbrick, we found a solution that could meet our stringent requirements for interactive analytics across high volume datasets. 1
