Funds and Hires for Data Observability Firm Sifflet

Data observability platform Sifflet has raised $18m in funding, with which to accelerate product innovation - including AI-native capabilities - and expand its business in North America.

Sifflet was founded in 2021 and officially launched its product in 2023. The firm aims to 'bridge the gap between technical and business users' of data, and says it has tripled its customer base and its revenue over the past year. In the fall, it plans to roll out two data observability agents.

The expansion will be led by two recently-hired leaders: Head of Operations R&egacute;mi Bastien and Head of Marketing Romain Doutriaux. Bastien spent nearly a decade at Content Square, most recently as Senior Director, Strategic Projects, while Doutriaux (pictured) was Head of Marketing at planning platform Pigment, having earlier spent seven years in senior marketing roles at Dataiku.

Funds came from existing shareholders EQT Ventures and Mangrove Capital Partners, with Capmont Technology joining as a new investor. Co-founder and CEO Salma Bakouk comments: 'At Sifflet, we've always believed that data quality is both a technical and organizational challenge - and the market is now confirming that belief.'
