Last month, Insidesales.com, the Big Data aggregation and analytics company raised $100mm at a $1bn valuation from some prominent VCs. That followed on the heels of Cloudera and Hortonworks raising $900mm and $100mm, respectively at $1bn+ valuations. Then, in May, SAP bought SeeWhy, the provider of cloud-based behavioral target marketing solutions; and Insight Venture Partners invested $250mm into Campaign Monitor, which provides SaaS-based email marketing and design solutions. Also in May, Bain Capital Ventures invested into Apixio, Inc., a pioneer in Big Data analytics for healthcare; and Zirmed acquired Intelligent Healthcare, which aggregates and analyzes clinical and financial data from disparate systems to help healthcare firms optimize performance.
What do all these deals have in common? They are all extremely fast-growing companies that aim to apply cloud services, Big Data aggregation, and analytics with new technologies in data storage processing and distribution in an effort to transform well-defined huge markets.
