Looker’s new capital will help the company expand product capabilities and make deeper investment in integrations with other providers. Additionally, they plan to invest in sales and marketing to expand in other areas, namely Asia Pacific. Looker has more than 300 employees and recently opened an office in Dublin, Ireland to support new business in the region.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Looker\u2019s revenue nearly tripled while adding almost 400 new customers. The vendor touts more than 40,000 users and 800 total customers, \u00a0including some of the top companies in the world like The Economist, Amazon Prime Now and Square.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Looker’s CEO\u00a0Frank Bien spoke to the news: “Our product vision, which has been the same since day one, continues to be validated by the market and is underscored by the support from CapitalG. We\u2019re proud to be added to their impressive portfolio of companies. We look forward to working together as we continue to grow our position in a $20B data and business analytics market that is growing 10% each year.”<\/p>\n
