Announcing Artie’s $12M Series A. When Robin Tang and I started Artie, the idea was simple: make it easy to deploy real-time streaming pipelines. Streaming pipelines used to be something only a few companies could afford to build. Guaranteeing transactional integrity, handling schema evolution, recovering from failures, and keeping latency low at scale is hard. Most teams limp along with brittle systems. But today, with AI systems that make decisions, trigger workflows, and interact with customers, stale data isn’t just slow - it’s incorrect. Real-time data is becoming non-negotiable. Today, companies like ClickUp, Substack, and Alloy, are processing 700B+ rows of data annually with Artie to power AI/ML workloads, customer-facing analytics, and operational systems. @artie_labs is a fully managed real-time data streaming platform. We move data across systems in real time - so teams can rely on fresh, accurate data to power AI products - without building or maintaining streaming infrastructure. We raised this round to double down on a simple belief: the next generation of data infrastructure will be streaming-first. Huge thank you to @daltonc and @Standard_Cap for leading the round, with continued support from @ycombinator, @PathlightVC, and incredible angels including @arashf, @bennstancil, @chrisbest, @charleshearn, and @lennysan. I also want to thank our team, customers, and partners for supporting our mission. And thank you to Chris Metinko and @axios for capturing the exclusive story. P.S. - If you want the same streaming infrastructure that Netflix and DoorDash have, but want to skip the multi-year build - reach out.
