The company Census has raised a $16 million Series A funding led by Sequoia Capital, with additional participation from Andreessen Horowitz and other notable operators. This round brings the total amount raised to over $20 million. To support startups, Census is launching a program that allows companies with fewer than 40 employees and less than $10MM in funding to use Census for a flat rate of $100 per month. The company has seen phenomenal growth since its launch in 2018, syncing analytics for over half a billion users every day, and has partnered with several notable organizations such as Canva, Figma, and Notion. Census is focused on enabling product-led companies to drive better marketing, sales, and customer success by leveraging data teams to drive operations. The company believes that the data warehouse should act as a new kind of Customer Data Platform, enabling hyper-scale businesses to deliver personalized experiences to customers. This vision is part of a larger movement in the data ecosystem, where software practices are washing over analytics, and Census is helping data teams build solutions like engineers. The company plans to expand its capabilities in areas such as code-based orchestration, deeper data validation, and visual query experience.
