Episode 1 led the investment round with backing from Superseed and angel investors.
Kleene provides an end-to-end data processing platform designed to help companies manage and extract insights from their data without needing dedicated data engineers.
Kleene has secured £1.1m in a seed funding round led by Episode 1, with participation from Superseed and angel investors. The capital will be allocated towards expanding the team, delivering the product roadmap, and increasing the variety of available data connectors.
Founded in 2017, the London-based business serves scale-ups including The Modern Milkman and Blue Light Card. The platform empowers analysts and business users to handle data processes directly, reducing the time required to generate insights.
From the founder
"Most companies now realise that they can’t continue to compete without underpinning decision making with data but when looking to leverage a cloud data warehouse the choice they face is either outsource the processing of data to expensive agencies or hire data engineering and build this internally. With our platform, businesses can put the power of data engineering in the hands of their analysts and achieve a massive acceleration in value in a much shorter time while retaining the valuable knowledge about their own business logic in-house."
Andrew Thomas
CEO at Kleene
Investor perspective
"kleene is a brilliant solution allowing the data analysts to build and maintain their own data warehouse from their company’s many sources of data. Analysts can then focus their time on finding insights to transform the fortunes of their companies. kleene is a great investment not just for our fund but for all our portfolio companies."
