The Dataiku Story

From 2013 to Today

Dataiku was founded on the principle that in order to succeed in the world’s rapidly evolving ecosystem, companies — no matter what their industry or size — must use data to continuously innovate. Since its founding in 2013, Dataiku has been the leader in democratizing data and empowering organization-wide collaboration.

Today, more than 450 companies worldwide use Dataiku to systemize their use of data and AI, driving diverse use cases from fraud detection to customer churn prevention, predictive maintenance to supply chain optimization, and everything in between.

The Founders

Dataiku was founded by Florian Douetteau, Clément Stenac, Thomas Cabrol, and Marc Batty.

Florian is the Chief Executive Officer of Dataiku. Florian started working in the startup world at age 20 and hasn’t stopped since. He’s fond of creative writing, playing with real and artificial languages, as well as any board or screen games where he still has a chance to beat his kids.

He’s also committed to Paris, a city where he was born, raised, loved and lives; Florian invests in and helps companies and tech founders as a small contribution to the growing Paris tech ecosystem.

Clément Stenac is a passionate software engineer and the Chief Technology Officer at Dataiku. He oversees the design and development of Dataiku, software that’s making the use of data and AI everyday behavior for everyone.

Clément was previously head of product development at Exalead, leading the design and implementation of web-scale search engine software. He also has extensive experience with open source software, as a former developer of the VideoLAN (VLC) and Debian projects.

The Future

In August 2021, Dataiku raised $400 million at a $4.6 billion valuation to enable Everyday AI in the enterprise.

Everyday AI is what organizations can achieve when they systemize the use of data and AI with Dataiku. It’s about making the use of data almost pedestrian — AI that is so ingrained and intertwined with the workings of the day-to-day that it’s just part of the business (not only being used or developed by one central team). 

This latest round of funding will fuel Dataiku’s growth around the world as well as the continued innovation of the platform to ensure AI can be deployed across all business lines and at all organizations.
