Seattle-based data startup Edge Delta is growing its team and physical footprint in downtown Seattle after raising a $63 million Series B round Tuesday.
Ozan Unlu, founder and CEO at Edge Delta, said the company now has over 100 employees, about half of whom are based in the Seattle office at Columbia Center. He added that Edge Delta is looking to triple its headcount over the next year.
"We're going to continue to invest in innovation, (research and development)," Unlu said. "We're looking to continue to expand the team pretty aggressively in the next year here."
Unlu said Edge Delta currently has about 4,000 square feet of office space at Columbia Center, but the company is moving into a different space there with about 12,000 square feet in mid-May. Edge Delta is also opening new offices in San Francisco and Turkey.
On its website, Edge Delta has open roles in engineering, customer success, sales and marketing.
Edge Delta, founded in 2018, helps manage the massive amounts of data companies are creating that they want to analyze. According to Unlu, old data management systems were designed for much smaller amounts of data than companies are creating now. Whereas old systems required companies to move all their data through cloud centers, Unlu said Edge Delta's technology allows clients to bypass these bottlenecks. The company's clients include T-Mobile, Snowflake and Amazon Web Services, according to its website.
Quiet Capital led the $63 million round. BAM Elevate, Earlybird Digital East, Geodesic Capital, Kin Ventures, ServiceNow, Cisco Investments, Menlo Ventures, MaC Venture Capital and Amity Ventures all participated. Quiet Capital's portfolio includes Airbnb, Robinhood and Uber, as well as local companies like Shelf Engine and Porch.
According to Unlu, Edge Delta's larger goals are to help clients analyze and get insights from their data without relying on manual processes.
"All these organizations now have these mission-critical systems where it's extremely painful when those systems go down," Unlu said.
