Neo4j raises $325 million in Series F funding round

The $325 million Series F funding round for Neo4j marks the largest investment round in database history, according to the company. 

“With this largest investment round in databases, we’ve set our sights on ensuring that graph databases become the largest part of the new database market, and Neo4j a generational company that will last for decades,” Emil Eifrem, founder and CEO of Neo4j, wrote in a blog post.

Eifrem predicts that there will be four distinct segments that sit side by side with the traditional relational database and that this new decade will bring in a “great unbundling of the database market.”

One trend is that graph databases will see grassroots adoption as it’s already the fastest growing database category in the last decade. 

Another trend is that many of the largest enterprises have already adopted graph databases including all of the 20 biggest banks, seven of the ten biggest retailers and more. 

“By 2025, graph technologies will be used by 80% of data and analytics innovations up from 10% in 2021,” the analyst firm Gartner wrote in its Top 10 Tech Trends in Data Analytics, 2021 report. 

The third trend is that graph databases are becoming an essential tool for data scientists and not just developers. 

Lastly, the Neo4j database is equipped to greatly scale as the company demonstrated on a live social network application that ran against over a trillion relationship graph, sharded across more than 1,000 servers and executed deep, complex graph queries that returned results in less than 20 milliseconds.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
