TileDB Brings In $1 Million

Enterprise IT startup TileDB closed $1 million in seed financing led by Intel Capital and Nexus Venture Partners.

TileDB is a new system for efficient scientific data management of massive data quantities naturally represented by multi-dimensional arrays, including graphs, genome sequences, matrices, geo-tagged data, and more. Its Massachusetts Institute of Technology-licensed, open-source software is written in C++ for Ubuntu Linux, CentOS Linux, and Mac OS X. The company’s current release consists of the TileDB storage manager module, exposed as a C library, which makes it easy for programmers to write applications for diverse, complex, parallel, scientific data analytics.

TileDB will continue to contribute heavily to the open-source TileDB project, and it will look to commercialize value-added customizations and tooling.
