South African Data Automation Startup Synatic Raises $2.5M Seed Extension
Synatic, a South African data automation business, has raised a US$2.5 million seed extension round of funding to expand its presence in the United States (US).
The firm, which was bootstrapped until it acquired cash in early 2021, has now raised an additional US$2.5 million in seed extension funding in a round headed by Allan Gray E-Squared Ventures and UW Ventures. Adansonia PE Opportunities VCC and the Endeavor Harvest Fund are also taking part.
The new money will be used by Synatic to increase its market presence in the United States in preparation for Series A funding in 2023. The firm has grown its customer base in South Africa by delivering big scale enterprise data integration and aggregation to companies like Easy Equities. It presently delivers data solutions to several corporations, like HCC Tokio Marine, a US-based insurance firm, as it expands its global market.
“Data chaos continues to present new market opportunities, and Synatic has already proven itself as an emerging leader in the expanding data management space,” said Harry Apostoleris, co-founder of UW Ventures. “We expect Synatic’s hybrid approach to moving and managing data will continue to gain momentum as more enterprise organisations struggle with extracting and combining data trapped in scattered data lakes and repositories.”
