Good Data Raises 2.5 Million in Venture Financing



Good Data today announced that it has closed its first institutional round of funding with $2.5 million in venture financing led by General Catalyst Partners, with participation from O'sReilly AlphaTech Ventures, Windcrest Partners, Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz. This brings the total raised to date to $4.6 million. The financing will enable the company to complete development of the Good Data platform and validate the market opportunity in advance of a commercial launch.





The world needs Good Data, said Marc Andreessen. Their simple, low cost approach goes a long way to making analytics available to everyone.



Good Data was founded in 2007 with the mission to provide a platform for collaborative analytics. Since then, the company has built a complete cloud-based business intelligence (http://www.gooddata.com/products/technology.html) service hosted on Amazon Web Services. Good Data is available today as a free trial, and is currently being tested by number of BI consultants (http://www.gooddata.com/partners), SaaS providers and data companies.



The on demand analytics (http://www.gooddata.com/products) market opportunity is huge, said Larry Bohn, managing director, General Catalyst. Roman Stanek has the vision and track record to build Good Data into a leader in the space, and we are excited to partner with him.



We like how Good Data is using the economics of cloud computing to deliver analytics to a much wider audience, said Mark Jacobsen, Managing Director of O'sReilly AlphaTech Ventures.
