Our take

The rise of digital services has led to vast sets of data that can be used by businesses to gain valuable, or even crucial insights about their customers. However, many companies are ill-equipped for interpreting and handling this data.

Trifacta is a cloud-based data engineering platform that leverages machine learning to drive insights from large datasets, reducing businesses' reliance on data science teams. It's a crowded space, with firms like GoodData, Looker, Sisense providing similar solutions to interpreting unstructured data.

But Trifacta is well-placed to tap into an estimated $210 billion industry. They're already serving global enterprises like Spar, Autodesk, Bank of America and Pepsico with their self service tools, and recent funding has enabled them to expand their footprint into new international markets.
