Sierra Ventures is excited to announce that portfolio company Treasure Data is being acquired by SoftBank owned ARM for an undisclosed amount. Arm is acquiring Treasure Data to set the stage for the IoT transformation—the new Arm Pelion IoT Platform will enable organizations to quickly and securely create actionable insights from IoT, enterprise, and third-party data. Sierra Ventures has been an investor of Treasure Data since 2013, leading their Series A round, and investing in Series B and C rounds.
Hiro Yoshikawa, Treasure Data’s Co-Founder and CEO says in his blog, “Today all of us at Treasure Data enter a new phase in our history after being acquired by global chip technology and IoT services leader company Arm. It is a time of immense opportunity – as we’ll gain from the investment power of being part of Arm.”
