Funds for Knowledge Integration Platform Onna

New York and Barcelona-based knowledge integration platform (KIP) Onna has raised $27m in a Series B round, which it will use to expand its engineering, product and partnership teams.

Onna defines knowledge-based apps as those based around human context such as customer feedback, text, documents, pictures, contracts, articles, e-mails, chats, and contextualised employee performance information - drawn from sources such as G Suite, Salesforce and Dropbox. The firm says its KIP provides employees with instant access to an entire organisation's knowledge, and enables them to use it in new ways.

The platform allows all workplace knowledge-based apps to brought together, through integration with multiple workplace cloud or on-premise platforms. This facilitates insights and eDiscovery, as well as enhanced compliance with data protection laws like GDPR and FINRA, and monitoring for leaks of confidential data.

New funding has been led by Atomico with participation from Glynn Capital, as well as previous investors Dawn Capital, Nauta Capital and Slack Fund; and Atomico's Ben Blume will join Onna's Board. Salim Elkhou (pictured), founder & CEO of Onna, comments: 'Imagine how powerful it would be if CIOs and employees were able to bring enterprise knowledge together. That's our mission at Onna: to make the totality of a company's proprietary knowledge accessible, useful and secure. In other words, we're not just helping companies find a needle in the haystack; we help them put the haystack together'.
