2022: The Year of the Tiger
TigerGraph is experiencing extraordinary across-the-board growth. Last month, the company reported a momentous 2021, highlighting unprecedented corporate growth, product leadership, customer, community and partner momentum, along with significant industry awards and accolades. Last year, TigerGraph raised $105 million in Series C funding — one of the largest funding rounds within the graph database and analytics market — and the company more than tripled its workforce. TigerGraph also expanded its global footprint throughout North America, EMEA, and APJ with new offices in Canada, France, India, Singapore, and more.
Graph analytics has taken the entire market by storm, becoming a “must-have” technology for modern enterprises. According to Gartner, “By 2025, graph technologies will be used in 80% of data and analytics innovations, up from 10% in 2021, facilitating rapid decision making across the organization.” Graph has become a critical technology for modern enterprises across nearly every industry including Healthcare, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Advertising, Media & Entertainment, and more.
