Matia, a startup unifying data operations, raised a $21 million Series A led by Red Dot Capital, CEO Benjamin Segal tells Axios Pro exclusively.

Why it matters: Data infrastructure deals are heating up as AI reinforces its importance.

How it works: Matia integrates most data engineering operations — including ingestion, observability, and cataloging — into one platform to streamline AI initiatives.

Zoom in: Leaders Fund, Secret Chord Ventures, Cerca Partners, Caffeinated Capital, VelocityX and several angel investors joined.

Segal says the round was pre-empted by investors and closed in about three weeks.

He says there were serious conversations with four strategic companies for the round, but the company decided against one at this early stage.

By the numbers: Matia counts nearly 40 SMBs and medium-sized enterprises as customers — including Ramp, Drata, HoneyBook, and Lemonade — and has more than $1 million in ARR, Segal says.

Founded in 2023, the Miami-based company has raised more than $31 million in total.

What they're saying: "Data needs to be unified for AI to give you good results," Segal says.

What's next: The current plan is to raise again in about 18 months, but Segal suspects it'll be sooner — likely 12 months — given market demand.

A strategic investor may be included in the Series B.
