TEL AVIV, Israel, June 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SQream, provider of a data analytics acceleration platform that enables enterprises to gain insights from their massive data stores, announced today that it has raised $39.4 million in Series B+ funding. The round was led by Mangrove Capital Partners and Schusterman Family Investments, who joined existing investors, including Hanaco Venture Capital, Sistema VC, World Trade Center Ventures, Blumberg Capital, Silvertech Ventures and Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA). The proceeds of the investment will be used to recruit top talent to accelerate advancements in the Company's technology and cloud innovation, and customer delivery platforms to better serve worldwide demand.

This round of financing further underscores both the company's existing and new investors' confidence in SQream, and the team's ability to deliver business critical innovation to leading global enterprises.
"I have watched with enthusiasm the product innovation and resulting customer enthusiasm that SQream has earned from large global customers," said Charlie Federman, Partner at Silvertech Ventures. "I am excited to be joining SQream's board of directors at this critical time in its growth into the cloud, and believe that SQream will be a really important vendor for enterprises that need help getting timely critical insights from their data."

With SQream in their data pipeline, enterprises gain unrestricted access to their data, and are free to focus on uncovering new business powering insights.
"Given the growth of data, which has been on a rocket-ship trajectory to zettabyte levels due to rapid digitalization, we are just scraping the surface of how companies will be generating value from their data," said Roy Saar, Partner at Mangrove Capital Partners. "We are impressed by the quality and experience of the management team. We also share the conviction in SQream's important role in driving business performance and providing a competitive edge. I could not be more excited about SQream's potential for making a significant impact in the market."
