Ownership & Acquisition History
DataGrail appears to be an independent, privately held venture-backed company and is not currently controlled by a private equity firm or fund.
Notes
- DataGrail’s own Series C press release describes the company as backed by venture capital and strategic investors (e.g., Third Point Ventures, Felicis Ventures, Next47, Cloud Apps Capital Partners, Operator Collective, HubSpot, Okta Ventures, American Express Ventures), which are not private equity buyout sponsors, and it does not describe a PE-controlled acquisition.
- Crunchbase lists DataGrail as a private company with funding rounds (e.g., Series C), consistent with venture backing rather than PE sponsor control.
- Founding details (year, founders, and Palo Alto location) are stated on DataGrail’s Wikipedia page; a DataGrail-hosted PR release (PR Newswire) also states it was founded in 2018 by the same founders (though it cites San Mateo as the base at that time).
- Logo: DataGrail provides downloadable logo assets via its Press/Newsroom page, but the linked download is a ZIP file that could not be accessed in this research workflow; a direct, official image URL could not be reliably extracted, so logoUrl is set to Unknown rather than using an unofficial logo aggregator.
