Altana Technologies Lands $100M Series B to Fund Expansion
Altana, a startup pioneering a shared source of truth on the global supply chain, announced a $100M Series B investment led by Activate Capital. OMERS Ventures participated alongside strategic investors Prologis Ventures, Reefknot Investments, and Four More Capital. Existing investors GV (formerly Google Ventures), Amadeus Capital Partners, Floating Point, and Ridgeline Partners all joined the round.
The Series B comes on the heels of dramatic sales and data network growth for Altana. The investment will fund aggressive platform and product development to empower the world’s governments, logistics providers, and businesses - including Maersk, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, BMW, Merck, and Boston Scientific - to build trusted supply chain networks on a shared source of truth.
Altana connects and learns from the world’s public and non-public data to provide a dynamic, intelligent model of the supply chain while ensuring the sovereignty, security, and privacy of the underlying data. Altana is used to accelerate and automate compliant trade, to illuminate and collaborate across multi-tier supplier relationships, and to build safe, sustainable, and resilient supply chain networks.
