Kleene
A one-stop solution for data analysis
Funding stage: Series A
What Kleene does
As modern technology architecture becomes increasingly more complicated, companies are beginning to rely on more and more software systems to manage their data and support their business. This creates complexity, and makes it difficult to not only draw insights from data but to ensure basic and appropriate data governance.
Kleene (the trading name of Minoro Limited), provides an end-to-end data pipeline solution to help companies connect all their critical data sources, enabling them to focus on their core proposition whilst drawing on data and critical insights for strategic decision-making.
Why we like it
Kleene operates in the Data Integration market which, according to Gartner, is estimated to be worth $9.6 billion (of which 66% – $6.3billion – is software), growing to $17.0 billion in 2025.
Working with data can be manual and complicated, requiring a lot of ongoing development work and internal expertise to maintain. As a result, less sophisticated teams, and companies early on in the process of architecture development, must either hire expensive data engineers or sacrifice critical data insights.
Kleene provides the tool that empowers analysts to set up and maintain the company’s data architecture independently end-to-end; from integration to preparation and analysis of data.
The founding team have an intimate knowledge of the problem they’re solving, having experienced it first hand leading data teams at multiple unicorn tech companies.
What our fund managers say
“Kleene are building the platform that enables business users to go straight to customer insights and data, and we believe that they’ve taken only the first step on an exciting journey to automate the entire data journey, across geographies and industries. ”
