Syncari well-poised to lead the new data automation market
This month, Syncari announced that it has raised $6.5M in total seed funding, led by SignalFire. This infusion of additional capital allows Syncari to accelerate its customer acquisition plans and bolster its board with two veterans, Ilya Kirnos of SignalFire and Ross Mason of Dig Ventures. Ilya and Ross join an already impressive team of investors, including Ben Bayat of NGVP, who led Syncari’s pre-seed round with Nico Berardi of Animo Ventures.

Ilya Kirnos is the Founding Partner of SignalFire, a venture capital firm focused on seed and early growth stage companies. Previously, Ilya was an engineering leader at Google who aided in the acquisition of the company that became Google Analytics. According to Ilya, the challenge Syncari solves by helping companies organize and access their existing data is immense.
“Revenue operations are central to any company’s ability to deliver on its goals and central to those operations is up-to-date data,” says Ilya. “Syncari is well-positioned to become the leader in this space.”

This round included a strategic investment by Ross Mason, who is the Founder of Dig Ventures and formerly Founder of Mulesoft, where he served as CTO up through its multi-billion dollar acquisition by Salesforce. With the benefit of his experience at one of the world’s largest systems integrators, Ross saw the data challenge firsthand and the acute need for a solution like Syncari.
“From my experience building MuleSoft, I saw a clear need to solve the data automation problem in a simple way that makes data more accessible to more employees within the company,” says Ross. “Syncari is taking a unique approach to this. It’s built from the ground up to solve this problem the right way. If Syncari didn’t build this, I would.”
