About

Prior to this, the Ali Ghodsi-led data and AI company had primarily backed prominent data stack players such as dbt Labs, Matilion, and Alation. The company says this will simplify the user experience and enable customers to get more value from their existing investments in Catalyst and Databricks. Prior to this investment, the company had raised a total of $65 million and its last public valuation was $245 million. Catalyst said the investment would deepen the integration between its offering and Databricks’ lakehouse, enabling a better user experience for their joint customers. Founded in 2016, Catalyst is an SaaS platform that aggregates customer data from multiple sources into one intuitive view and provides sales and success teams detailed insights into customer maturity, health and upsell potential. Notably, the CEO added that Catalyst is the only platform that proactively tells enterprises which of their playbooks are actually generating positive results in customer adoption or increased spending.
