Hygraph: Series B round for USD 30 million

Berlin — Hygraph has successfully closed a $30 million Series B invest­ment round led by One Peak to acce­le­rate the next gene­ra­tion of content manage­ment for the Composable Archi­tec­tures era.

Exis­ting inves­tors Open Ocean, One Peak, SquareOne and new busi­ness angel Boris Loks­hin (co-foun­­der and CEO of Spry­ker Systems) also parti­ci­pa­ted in this new round, brin­ging our total funding to $43.7 million.

Foun­ded in 2017, Berlin-based startup Hygraph is an enter­prise content manage­ment plat­form that makes it possi­ble to deve­lop tomorrow’s connec­ted digi­tal events quickly and at scale. Demand for networked digi­tal services is growing, but deve­lo­ping ever­y­thing indi­vi­du­ally is costly. Today, orga­niza­ti­ons not only need to distri­bute content across multi­ple devices, but also access and deli­ver content from a variety of discon­nec­ted sources.

Hygraph’s fede­ra­ted content plat­form repres­ents the next gene­ra­tion of content manage­ment, enab­ling a many-to-many rela­ti­onship between diffe­rent content sources and devices. Hygraph is head­quar­te­red in Berlin and employs 66 people from all over the world, spread over 5 conti­nents, 18 count­ries and 26 natio­na­li­ties. With the fresh capi­tal, Hygraph plans to conti­nue its inno­va­tion and expand its market presence, with a focus on North America.

“Just as Head­less CMS has trans­for­med content distri­bu­tion, Hygraph is trans­forming the inte­gra­tion of content and data to enable the crea­tion of new digi­tal services and busi­ness models in the content economy. Our new finan­cing round enables us to further scale our busi­ness. We want to do for content manage­ment what Mule­Soft has done for inte­gra­tion,” said Michael Luka­szc­zyk, CEO and co-foun­­der of Hygraph.
