MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 27, 2020 -- Eightfold AI today announced that it has raised a $125M Series D funding round. The funds will be used to expand and scale Eightfold's leading AI-powered Talent Intelligence Platform, a single solution for managing the entire talent lifecycle. Using a single platform to address this critical area stands in direct contrast to the disjointed point solutions commonly found in the talent management space. As a direct result of Eightfold's innovative vision and dedication, the company is now valued at $1 billion and works with customers across 110 countries, 17 industries and 13 languages.
The funding round is led by General Catalyst and also includes investors from previous rounds, including Capital One Ventures, Foundation Capital, IVP and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Total funding raised to date by Eightfold AI is more than $180 million. Eightfold has more than quadrupled its sales since the last round of equity funding in April 2019. Eightfold AI's customers, leading companies embracing this global talent transformation, include AirAsia, Bayer, Capital One and Micron.
"Our mission is to leverage our expertise in AI to provide the right career for everyone in the world," said Ashutosh Garg, Founder & CEO at Eightfold. "The Eightfold team has spent the last four years developing a single platform servicing all talent lifecycle needs, bypassing single point solutions entirely. This is the future of our industry, and has already made Eightfold the go-to provider for industry leaders in every sector. We are grateful to our investors, customers and partners for sharing in our vision, especially at a time when the immediate focus is on the well-being of the global workforce."
Eightfold AI's single platform for the entire talent lifecycle brings together billions of anonymized data points, algorithms and domain expertise required to make a reliable, scalable impact for enterprise-scale organizations. The patented Talent Intelligence Platform uses deep learning AI on existing public and legacy HCM data to transform how companies acquire, develop and advance talent, and achieve D&I goals. Seeking to evolve their workforce into a competitive advantage, Eightfold customers have achieved significant results, including: a 49 percent increase in the number of employees finding their next role within their current company, a 58 percent increase in employees offered other jobs within the same company after their role had been eliminated, and 60 percent more highly qualified candidates applying to open jobs.
"Eightfold has built a true intelligence-driven platform for talent acquisition and optimization for the enterprise. What's been most impressive is their approach to partnering with companies to fundamentally understand their needs and then applying tech against those needs to create a scalable, efficient approach to talent management," said Quentin Clark, Managing Director at General Catalyst. "Theirs is an industry-agnostic approach that has the potential to rapidly evolve how companies meet and retain their best people."

1.25 亿美元
企业软件供应商 SAP 将收购大数据初创企业 Altiscale，交易金额预计超 1.25 亿美元
企业软件供应商 SAP 将收购大数据初创企业 Altiscale，收购金额预计超过 1.25 亿美元。收购细节消息预计将在未来几周内正式公布。
Altiscale 创立于 2012 年，总部位于加利福尼亚州，是一家 Hadoop 云服务模式（HaaS）供应商，致力于为 Hadoop 开源软件提供一个云端版本，用于存储、处理和分析不同种类的数据。Altiscale 希望通过这种将 Hadoop 服务推向云端的方式，降低 Hadoop 的抽象性与复杂性，为工程师搭建一个完整的 Hadoop 环境，让用户可以更专注于他们的数据与应用。
Altiscale 的竞争对手包括大数据 DaaS 服务供应商 Qubole 和 HaaS 服务供应商 Xplenty，除此之外，公共云基础设施供应商 Amazon Web Services 也提供 Hadoop 服务。为了提高竞争力，Altiscale 不仅提供 Hadoop 云服务，还提供 Apache Spark 云服务(一种更快、更现代的 Hadoop 替代品)。
SAP 一直在采取措施来增强公司云软件产品组合，本次收购可谓是让 SAP 收获了一家最知名的 HaaS 服务供应商。Altiscale 的联合创始人兼 CEO Raymie Stata，之前创立的公司 Stata Labs（基于搜索的邮件客户端软件 Bloomba 和反病毒过滤软件 SAProxy 开发商）在 2004 年 10 月被雅虎收购。之后一直到 2011 年 10 月，Stata 一直在雅虎内部负责 Hadoop 软件部署工作。Stata 及他的团队工作经验对 SAP 来说意义深远，因为 SAP 的竞争对手 IBM 和微软都非常注重云数据服务，而本次收购将大大提升 SAP 在云服务上的竞争力。
Altiscale 自创立至今，获得融资总额为 4200 万美元，投资者包括 Accel Partners、 AME Cloud Ventures 和 Northgate 等。公司现有员工数量 90 人左右，客户包括 Devicescape、 Glu Mobile、 MarketShare 和 ShareThis。
