Looker has driven 400 percent revenue growth by expanding its customer base from 150 last year to more than 450 today while also increasing the average deal size by more than 30 percent. New and growing enterprise customers include Kohler, Intel, eBay, PayPal, Zillow, Yahoo!, Sony, Autodesk, Etsy and others. New customers also include disruptors from the retail, finance and tech industries such as Lyft, Warby Parker, Docker, TripAdvisor, Instacart, Oscar, Avant, Harry’s, eShares, Hudson Bay and Stack Overflow. Looker opened its first EMEA office in London last year and has significantly increased its European customer base with the addition of Simply Business, Reed Online, Transferwise, Home24, Red Eye International and Yieldify, among others.
“We see 97 percent of customers accessing Looker at least once per day. It has become increasingly common to see the majority of employees across multiple, if not all departments, using Looker. They’re asking deeper questions of their data and making reliable, confident business decisions,” said Looker CEO, Frank Bien.
Looker announced major product updates and partnerships over the past year including Looker Blocks, the first pattern language for analytics intended to make it easy for data analysts to quickly build a custom data platform with best in class metrics. Looker grew numerous strategic partnerships with major data warehousing solutions to help customers quickly deploy a data platform wherever their data lives or however it is structured. Looker’s partners include Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Amazon, Google, Cloudera, Databricks, Hortonworks, Treasure Data, HP and Teradata.
“It’s not a coincidence that Looker’s customers are some of the fastest growing industry disruptors. No other data analytics tool is giving organisations a single source of truth or the opportunity to ask questions and explore data in such a rich and user friendly way,” said Alex Kurland, partner at KPCB. “KPCB focuses on investing in teams and technologies that are reshaping industries. Looker is taking a highly differentiated approach to reshaping data analytics, which is one of the largest and most critical markets.”
“KPCB has a remarkable track record of fueling some of the biggest success stories within tech,” Bien added. “It’s an honour to be among KPCB’s stellar list of portfolio companies.”
