Cirro Secures $8m for Big Data Expansion

In the US, big data analytics firm Cirro has raised $8m in a Series A round of funding, which it will use to expand its product development, sales, and marketing initiatives, and generally to scale its business.

Founded in 2010, Cirro offers a service for data exploration and analysis of disparate big data and traditional sources. Funding has been led by Toba Capital, with participation from existing investors Frost Venture Partners and Miramar Venture Partners.

Cirro CEO Mark Theissen (pictured) comments: 'Every day organizations are wrestling with strategies for integrating the old world of the data center and relational databases with the new world of big data, SaaS and NoSQL data sources. Cirro's platform simplifies access for all data sources and shifts the corporate analytic focus from asking questions you already know, to answering disruptive questions that deliver new insights and ultimately bottom-line impact.'
