    GoodData builds cloud-native Data-as-a-Service analytics infrastructure, delivering real-time, scalable analytics via its GoodData.CN platform. The company positions GoodData.CN as an alternative to legacy batch-oriented BI, enabling embedded analytics, self-service, machine learning, and IoT use cases. GoodData reported 9x recurring revenue growth from its self-service channel in 2020 and says its platform has helped over 140,000 businesses. Management plans to expand global sales and engineering teams and continue investing in enterprise-grade, cloud-native analytics solutions. In 2021 GoodData announced an investment and strategic partnership with Visa and was named a key partner in Visa’s Fintech Partner Connect program. The company is backed by investors including Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Intel Capital, and TOTVS. GoodData offers an all‑in‑one data analytics platform focused on interactive self‑service analytics, user interfaces, and data visualizations that let customers build insight services and new business models. The company serves over 2,000,000 users in more than 145 countries and its platform is trusted by more than 50% of the Fortune 500. GoodData has introduced freemium and growth‑pricing tiers to broaden access and help more companies become data‑led. It has also supported large data projects such as the COVID‑19 Commerce Insight initiative, which analyzed about one billion engagements and 400 million transactions. Following the announced investment, GoodData plans to expand customer support for complex data governance, compliance, cybersecurity, and privacy. The company positions itself as a partner to business networks and enterprises seeking to add analytics and insight services to existing offerings. GoodData provides an embedded real-time analytics platform that delivers real-time visualization, recommendations, and predictive analytics at the point of work for front-line workers, customers, partners, and regulators. The platform is backed by global customer support and a network of data centers across the US, Canada, and the European Union, and operates under a unified framework of security and privacy compliance. GoodData’s platform provides insights to over 100,000 companies and 1.4 million users globally. The company announced a $24M financing composed of equity and venture debt. Zendesk led the equity investment, CIBC Innovation Banking provided the venture debt, and existing investors participated. GoodData is a San Francisco, CA-based provider of an end-to-end cloud analytics platform. Led by CEO Roman Stanek, the company enables business analysts, business managers and IT professionals to turn data into actionable insights. Its platform provides self-service visualization and on-demand advanced tools for building custom metrics, with no hardware or software to integrate or manage. GoodData completed a $25.7M equity financing in February 2014. The round was led by Intel Capital with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Tenaya Capital, TOTVS, Next World Capital, Windcrest and Pharus Capital. In conjunction with the funding, Intel Capital Director Igor Taber will join GoodData’s board. GoodData offers a cloud-based data analytics and business intelligence service with pre-configured templates to analyze company data. The platform includes integration support from GoodData and lets customers track, segment and target their information. It competes with offerings from IBM, SAP and Oracle as well as analytics providers such as Birst and Bime Analytics. Founded in the Czech Republic and headquartered in San Francisco, the company positions itself as a leader in the emerging cloud BI market. GoodData has now raised $75.5 million to date and says an IPO could be possible in the next few years if it continues to execute. The company cited TOTVS' regional clout in Latin America as a factor in accepting the new investment.
