Our take

The big data and data engineering market is still going extremely strong, growing at over 17% annually. However, the huge increase in available data has caused something of a problem for enterprises, many of which struggle to ensure the quality of their data stores and end up with sub par data flows.

Nexla, which provides automation and low/no-code tooling to help enterprises streamline data operations, finds itself in a very strong position in the market, with an impressive customer list including LinkedIn, Janssen, Instacart, and DoorDash.

Nexla's steady growth since its founding in 2016 reflects its strong position in the data infrastructure space. Strategic moves like the acquisition of Fidap in 2022 and the launch of its Private Data Product Marketplace in 2023 demonstrate Nexla's ongoing commitment to innovation and expansion. These developments show the company's focus on evolving its offerings to sustain momentum and meet the growing needs of modern data-driven organizations.
