Okera Closes $12 Million in Series A Funding

Okera launched out of stealth mode with $12 million in Series A funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners. Existing investors Felicis Ventures and Capital One Growth Ventures also participated in the round.

The company’s first product, the Okera Active Data Access Platform, addresses the gap in data management across heterogeneous data stores and formats by providing data consumers, owners, and stewards a unified platform without compromising on governance or compliance. Unlike traditional data management approaches that either restrict access in the name of security or leave data open in the name of innovation, Okera is designed to allow data teams to actively manage access to data with fine granularity in a flexible and agile manner, with detailed visibility into how the data is being used.
