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.

Yellowbrick successfully built a data warehouse for the analytic needs of the world's largest enterprises.

These customers have seen dramatic improvements in analytic performance while significantly reducing costs.
At ThreatMetrix, we deliver identity intelligence through a robust, intuitive cyber security and risk management model where we depend on the underlying data warehouse, said Matthias Baumhof, CTO at ThreatMetrix, a LexisNexis Risk Solutions company.

To help enterprises gain control of their analytic processing, Yellowbrick provides a predictable and fixed pricing model that customers can apply to data center and cloud deployments, ensuring that they can rapidly scale their business while maintaining the utmost in fiscal discipline.

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