With the new influx of cash, Bush said, the company will expand its staff of 450 worldwide. Dataiku has about 50 openings listed so far, including in New York for business development and product marketing roles, competitive analysis and cloud architecture.
The latest investment round—the company’s Series D—included funding from CapitalG, the former Google Capital; and New York–based FirstMark Capital, a firm whose investments include Airbnb, Pinterest and Shopify.
Startups in the AI and machine-learning sectors have been popular, with $20 billion in investment last year, more than double the total of 2014, according to the National Venture Capital Association.
Dataiku is the second New York–based AI company to land a nine-figure investment round in as many months. In July UIPath, a software maker that helps companies automate repetitive tasks, closed a $225 million funding round that valued the company at $10.2 billion.
