Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital has provided $33 million in Series-C investment to Datamaran, a leader in strategic ESG software.
The investment highlights Datamaran's dominance in the ESG software industry, especially as it launches a bold expansion plan throughout Europe and the United States. The company's innovative generative AI projects will be accelerated by this fresh round of funding, which will also increase its market share.
The significant financing is provided while Datamaran keeps improving its software offerings. The company is well known for giving businesses the ability to efficiently monitor more than 400 external risk indicators, turning ESG compliance from a mere operational expense into a competitive advantage. By employing powerful AI technology, Datamaran supports its clients in navigating the increasingly complicated realm of ESG governance.
With the $33 million, Datamaran intends to further the development of its AI technology and quicken its growth in important areas. With this calculated move, the firm hopes to maintain its leadership position in the ESG space and satisfy the increasing demand from C-suite executives for strong governance and risk management.
Apart from its fundamental products, Datamaran has demonstrated expansion and creativity in the past. The company's subscription income has more than quadrupled over the last 18 months, indicating the growing demand for its services. Prominent brands including Dell, Cisco, AB InBev, Deloitte, and Pepsico are among Datamaran's clientele, demonstrating the company's considerable influence in the sector.
Since we initially encountered Datamaran more than two years ago, they have demonstrated outstanding growth and capital efficiency. They are a market leader in the technology they provide, allowing businesses to incorporate ESG into their operations. This is becoming more and more crucial as stakeholders, consumers, and regulators put increasing pressure on multinational corporations to be more accountable. Lincoln Isetta, managing director of Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, stated, "We are thrilled to collaborate with Marjella and her team to support Datamaran's next stage of growth, breaking further into the American market and looking to add more Fortune 500 companies to an already impressive client roster."
"As a 10-year-old company, we are the trailblazers in strategic ESG, and this investment will enable us to stay at the forefront of innovation in AI-powered software to serve our clients' growing needs," stated Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO and co-founder of Datamaran. Companies have a strong incentive to focus on ESG governance and identify their material risks and opportunities as a result of the rapidly growing number of ESG reporting obligations.
In the past, Datamaran has shown a stable financial trajectory, indicating that it can successfully use prior investments to strengthen its market position and expand its product offerings.
