Matillion

Matillion has grown to be a global leader in cloud-native data integration, empowering organisations to modernise their data unlocking its full value regardless of coding capabilities. Founded in 2011, the company is co-located in Manchester and Denver, reflecting its strong UK roots and growing international presence.

The Matillion platform is integrated with leading cloud data warehouses, including Snowflake, AWS Redshift, and Google BigQuery. By enabling businesses to transform raw data into actionable insights, Matillion serves a diverse customer base spanning finance, healthcare, technology, and retail, with global clients such as Cisco, Slack, London Stock Excahnge and Western Union.

YFM Equity Partners first invested in  Matillion in 2016, with 18 employees based in Knutsford less than a year after the launch of its first product “emerald”  which had the potential to revolutionise the cloud data integration market. Matillion’s innovative solutions, strong leadership under CEO Matthew Scullion, and scalable business model positioned it as a high-growth technology company with significant global potential.

The company’s ability to address the growing demand for cloud-native solutions and help organisations leverage their data more effectively gave the business the opportunity to scale its customer base, business and product offering.

YFM’s early support played a pivotal role in unlocking Matillion’s subsequent success, enabling the company to scale rapidly which has so far seen:

• Unicorn Status: In September 2021, Matillion reached a $1.5 billion valuation, becoming the first tech unicorn headquartered in the UK’s North West.
• Global Funding: Matillion has raised $365 million in total funding, with YFM’s investment laying the foundation for this substantial capital growth.
• International Expansion: Establishing a strong presence in the US with offices in Denver and Seattle, significantly enhancing its global footprint. This has been followed by significant growth in employees from the initial 18 to over 400.
• Product Innovation: Continuously enhancing its platform with new features, including AI-driven analytics, to meet the evolving needs of data-driven enterprises.
• Industry Recognition: Named in the Sunday Times Tech Track 100 and profiled as a standout success story by Insider Media.

Matillion’s development underscores its exceptional growth and industry impact. Today, the company is at the forefront of cloud data integration, helping enterprises worldwide modernise their data ecosystems and achieve digital transformation.
