Data teams do not fail quietly. They fail loudly, in Slack threads that never end, in dashboards that lie with confidence, in pipelines that break at 2:17 a.m. and somehow become everyone’s fault. That tension is the origin story behind Matia, founded in 2023, born from watching smart people lose hours arguing with tools that were never built to work together. Benjamin Segal, CEO & Co-Founder, saw it firsthand running data at a $100M+ CPG. Geva Segal, CTO & Co-Founder, lived it deep in cybersecurity infrastructure. Different lanes, same wreckage.
Matia is based in Miami with serious horsepower in Tel Aviv, and the platform reflects that mix of speed and precision. One unified DataOps system that handles ingestion, reverse ETL, observability, and catalog in a single motion. Real-time replication from 100+ data sources. Shift-left anomaly detection that catches problems before they torch production. Pipelines syncing up to 8x faster, with up to 78% lower TCO. Less chaos, fewer tools, more signal. The name fits. Matia does not shout. It just moves clean.
That clarity is why Matia closed a $10.5M seed in October 2024 led by Leaders Fund and Secret Chord Ventures, with Cerca Partners and Caffeinated Capital leaning in early. It is also why the company just locked a $21M Series A led by Red Dot Capital Partners, with every prior investor coming back for more. Danielle Ardon Baratz led the charge, joined again by Gideon Hayden, and backed by a deep bench of operators including Karim Atiyeh, Udi Mokady, Amiram Shachar, Assaf Rappaport, Dan Adika, Ronni Zehavi, plus named angels Alex Pham, Raffi Kesten, and Abe Peled. No tourists in that room.
Revenue grew more than 10x year over year. Customers like Ramp, Drata, HoneyBook, and Lemonade did not buy a vision deck. They bought relief. Ramp cut sync times by more than 80%. Lemonade’s data team stopped playing defense. When Ofir Ventura and Ryan Delgado talk about Matia, they are talking about nights they got back.
This is what funding looks like when a company solves a real, unsexy problem with discipline instead of noise. More than $31M raised to date, not to chase artificial intelligence buzzwords, but to give data teams a single place to stand. Benjamin Segal and Geva Segal did not build Matia to win debates. They built it so the data finally shuts up and works.
