Estuary raises $14M to advance its unified data pipeline

Estuary Technologies Inc. raised $14 million in a Series A round led by M13. The company will use the funds to advance its unified data pipeline technology. This platform simplifies how businesses move data for artificial intelligence applications. Many companies use separate systems for moving data. Batch processing is reliable but slow. Real-time streaming is fast but often fragile and expensive. Using both systems creates complexity, high costs, and inconsistent data for AI workloads that need fresh information. Estuary combines these two methods into a single managed platform. It allows users to control data delivery speed with a feature described as a 'latency dial'. Teams can choose sub-second streaming for critical applications. They can also select scheduled batch updates for analytics and model training. The platform can replace multiple existing data tools. Estuary states its approach offers greater reliability and more predictable pricing models. The company reports that customers can achieve average cost savings between 40% and 60% compared to traditional systems. Estuary is addressing a complex problem in the data industry, where major technology companies are also seeking solutions. With its new funding, the company plans to expand its product, engineering, and go-to-market teams.
