Julia Computing recently announced that it had raised $24 Million in its series A funding round led by Dorilton Ventures. Menlo Ventures, Highsage Ventures, and General Catalyst also participated in the funding round.
The Boston-based startup plans to use this fresh funding to expand and further improve its cloud computing platform named JuliaHub. The enterprise was founded in 2015 by the developers of Julia high-performance programming language.
Many enterprises use the language to overcome data processing challenges across the world. The startup’s CEO and co-founder, Viral Shah, said, “Technical computing is stuck in a rut today. Data scientists and engineers are using products that were designed many decades ago.”
