Trifacta is a platform for exploring and preparing data for analysis. Trifacta interoperates with cloud and on-premise data platforms.
Headquartered in San Francisco, Trifacta has offices in Boston, Berlin and London. The company was founded in October 2012.
The company was developed from a joint research project with Ph.D. and UC Berkeley Professor Joe Hellerstein, Ph.D. and University of Washington and former Stanford professor Jeffrey Heer, and Stanford Ph.D. Sean Kandel. The company created a software application that combines visual interaction with intelligent inference for the process of data transformation and was launched in October 2012; it received $4.3 million in Series A funding from Accel Partners led by Ping Li, head of the firm’s Big Data Fund. It received $12 million in Series B funding from Greylock Partners and Accel Partners, with Joseph Ansanelli of Greylock joining the board. In its Series C funding, Trifacta received $25 million as Frank Artale from Ignition joined the board. Most recently, Trifacta raised $35M from existing investors Accel Partners, Greylock Partners, Ignition Partners and new investor Cathay Innovation, bringing the total amount raised to over $76 million. The company also has investments from X/Seed Capital, Data Collective and angel investors Dave Goldberg, Venky Harinarayan and Anand Rajaraman.
Trifacta is designed to enable analysts to explore, transform and enrich raw, diverse data into clean and structured formats for analysis through self-service data preparation. Trifacta’s approach focuses on utilizing the latest techniques in machine learning, data visualization, human-computer interaction and parallel processing to enable non-technical users who have the most context for the data to quickly and intuitively make the data ready for a variety of business processes such as analytics.
Trifacta has three products, Trifacta Wrangler, Wrangler Edge, and Trifacta Wrangler Enterprise. Trifacta Wrangler is a connected desktop application that allows users to transform their data for a variety of downstream analytic and visualization. Wrangler Edge is designed to enhance the functionality of the free Wrangler desktop edition with support for multiple users, larger data volumes, broader connectivity, cloud, and on-premise deployment options, and the ability to schedule and operationalize wrangling workflows.
