Sisense, an enterprise startup that that has built a business analytics business out of the premise of making big data as accessible as possible to users — whether it be through graphics on mobile or desktop apps, or spoken through Alexa — is announcing a big round of funding today and a large jump in valuation to underscore its traction.

(It did not disclose valuation in 2018, when it raised a venture round of $80 million.)

Insight is in the news today for another big deal: wearing its private equity hat, the firm acquired Veeam for $5 billion.

The company has also made some key acquisitions to boost its business, such as the acquisition of Periscope Data last year (coincidentally also for $100 million, I understand).

This was also one of the big reasons why Salesforce gobbled up Tableau last year for a slightly higher price: $15.7 billion. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1578587407.0491352/Sisense-nabs-$100m-at-a-$1B+-valuation-for-accessible-big-data-business-analytics-–-TechCrunch?ref=audio_experience
