Kestra, an open-source data orchestration platform provider, has raised $8 million in seed funding to continue its expansion across North America.
The round was led by Alven with participation from ISAI, Axeleo Capital, and industry leaders like Olivier Pomel (CEO of Datadog), Clement Delangue (CEO of Hugging Face), and Bertrand Diard (co-founder of Talend). This funding follows a $3 million pre-seed round in October 2023.
