Data Science Platform Deepnote Gets Funds to Grow Team

San Francisco-headquartered data science platform Deepnote has raised $20m in a Series A round of funding, which it will use to expand its presence among data science communities, with plans to double the team to 50 employees in the next twelve months.

Deepnote has developed a data science notebook (a form of interactive computing, in which users write code, connect their data, explore and analyze the results, and share insights) for experiments and exploration tasks. The business was founded in 2019 by Jakub Jurovych, Jan Matas, and Filip Stollar, who previously built data infrastructure and managed data science teams at Two Sigma, Palantir, and Google.

New funding was co-led by Index Ventures and Accel, with participation from Y Combinator and Credo Ventures. Index Ventures Principal Bryan Offutt comments: 'While the universal importance of data continues to rise, the tooling around it remains stuck in one player mode. What Figma and Notion have done for design and text, Deepnote does for data. We are excited to work with Jakub and the entire Deepnote team as they empower data organizations everywhere to do their best work, together.'
