Matia Closes $21M Series A to Scale Unified Data Infrastructure for the AI Era

Insider Brief

  • Matia raised $21 million in Series A funding led by Red Dot Capital Partners, bringing total funding to over $31 million to expand its unified, AI-native data operations platform.
  • The platform integrates data ingestion, observability, cataloging, and reverse ETL into a single system designed to simplify and scale data pipeline management for AI-driven applications.
  • The company is developing an AI data engineer to automate tasks such as pipeline creation, anomaly detection, and impact analysis, as adoption grows among customers including Ramp, Drata, HoneyBook, and Lemonade.

Matia, the unified data operations platform, announced it has raised $21 million in Series A funding led by Red Dot Capital Partners, with participation from existing investors Leaders Fund, Secret Chord Ventures, Cerca Partners, Caffeinated Capital and VelocityX and notable angels including Karim Atiyeh (Ramp), Udi Mokady (Cyaberark), Amiram Schchar (Upwind), Alex Pham (Toyota), Raffi Kesten, and Abe Peled. The round brings Matia’s total funding to more than $31 million and will accelerate product development and go-to-market efforts as demand surges for unified, AI-native data infrastructure.

Matia is building a unified platform for operating data pipelines at scale. As data increasingly underpins production systems and AI-driven products, engineering teams are rethinking how pipelines are built, monitored, and maintained. Matia’s platform brings data ingestion, observability, cataloging, and reverse ETL together in a single system designed for reliability and operational clarity.

“Data engineering is entering an AI-native era, but AI depends on trusted data, system-wide context, and a developer experience teams can actually work with,” said Benjamin Segal, Co-founder and CEO of Matia. “Matia delivers an AI-ready data layer in one unified platform, replacing fragmented point solutions that lack context.”

Matia has seen strong momentum over the past year, with the company growing more than 10x as customers adopt the platform to streamline data operations and reduce operational overhead. Today, companies including Ramp, Drata, HoneyBook, and Lemonade rely on Matia to run their data operations.

“We’re seeing a clear shift in how teams think about data infrastructure,” Segal added. “As companies scale, they want fewer tools, more shared context, and systems that hold up under real production demands. That’s what’s driving our growth and why customers are standardizing on Matia.”

Customers consolidating multiple data tools onto Matia report up to 78% lower total cost of ownership compared to maintaining separate ingestion, observability, and activation systems.

“Matia isn’t just improving the data stack — they’re redefining it,” said Danielle Ardon Baratz, Partner at Red Dot Capital Partners. “Matia stands out by consolidating critical data functions into a single platform that actually reduces operational overhead. The speed of their growth and the caliber of their customers show they’ve hit real product-market-fit, and we’re excited to support them as they bring AI-driven automation to data operations.”

“At our scale, data reliability matters as much as application reliability,” said Ofir Ventura, Data & ML Manager at Lemonade. “Matia has helped our teams streamline how we move and operate data by providing a single platform we can run day to day as our data needs continue to grow.”

Building on this foundation, Matia is developing an AI data engineer designed to autonomously handle tasks such as pipeline creation, anomaly detection, and impact analysis. The goal is to help teams of any size and experience level operate data systems with the same confidence and reliability expected of modern production infrastructure.
