As WEKA enters a new fiscal year, I wanted to reflect on our achievements over the past 14 months and provide insight into our plans for future growth.

2024 was a milestone year for WEKA. Following our Series E funding raise, we became a unicorn company with a $1.6B valuation. In the same year, we became a centaur company when we surpassed $100M ARR–a feat only 0.02% of companies ever accomplish. We more than doubled our revenue again for a third year and welcomed dozens of the world’s leading AI, HPC and scientific computing innovators to our customer base. 

At the same time, the generative AI and enterprise AI markets have continued to explode. The rate of innovation by AI industry titans—many of whom are WEKA’s partners and customers—has been astonishing, creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity for commercial enterprises, governments and research organizations alike. 

We fully intend to lead the AI data platform market we helped pioneer, and we are here to support our customers and partners for the long haul. The token economy is here, and WEKA is uniquely positioned to help these architects of the AI industry lower their cost of innovation, accelerate discoveries and time to market and maximize their AI infrastructure investments. 

To accelerate innovation with our customers and partners, we have initiated a strategic restructuring of our go-to-market functions. While change is difficult, we are confident that this will position WEKA and our customers for long-term success as we navigate the dynamic and rapidly evolving AI market. 

In the coming year, we will deliver bold innovation to our customers, scale our investments in R&D, product innovation, and customer success, and expand our team across all business functions to accelerate our growth trajectory.

These are exciting times to be at WEKA as we focus our people and investments on supporting the architects of AI and continuing to push the boundaries of intelligent innovation with our valued customers and partners. 

If you want to join us in our mission, WEKA is hiring across all functions. You can view open positions at https://www.weka.io/company/careers/. Â
