SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Oct. 2 — GoodData, the leader in end-to-end cloud analytics, today announced that it has completed a $25.7 million equity financing. Intel Capital led the Series E round with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Tenaya Capital, TOTVS, Next World Capital, Windcrest, and Pharus Capital.

“We are just starting to tap the potential of analytics for big data,” said Jason P. Waxman, Vice President of Intel’s Data Center Group and General Manager of its Cloud Platforms Group. “We are investing not only in GoodData’s differentiated, cloud-based analytics solution, but also in the future impact that big data insights can provide across industries.”

As part of the investment, Intel Capital Director Igor Taber will join GoodData’s board.

From data capture to visualization, GoodData’s platform equips customers with the key data they need to tell compelling, factual stories to build competitive advantage. Designed for business analysts, business managers and IT professionals, GoodData delivers rapid time to value based on self-service visualization, on-demand advanced tools for building custom metrics, proven scale and security, and no hardware or software to integrate or manage.

“We are excited that Intel shares our vision of a cloud-based delivery model for data analytics,” said Roman Stanek, CEO of GoodData. “The business intelligence market has reached a new point of maturity, as organizations increasingly analyze data at scale in the cloud. We have always recognized a need in the market for a complete, cloud-based big data platform. We’re glad to see validation of our approach from customers and investors with our largest funding round to date.”
