Background & analysis
Pigment, a French AI company, has raised $250 million in a funding round at a $2.3 billion valuation, according to Bloomberg. The round was led by Scaleup Europe Fund, with participation from Nvidia Corp. and World Innovation Lab, a fund based in the US and Japan, alongside existing institutional investors Iconiq, IVP and Meritech Capital. Bloomberg reported that the financing was set to be announced on Tuesday.
Pigment makes AI-powered business planning software that helps companies forecast finances and build slide decks, among other tasks. The company positions itself as a competitor to Microsoft's Excel and PowerPoint.
Techmeme carried the same figures later the same day, citing Bloomberg's reporting, and likewise described Pigment as competing with Microsoft's spreadsheet and presentation products. Both accounts agree on the amount raised, the valuation, the lead investor and the participating backers. Neither report mentions other terms of the round or how the company intends to use the proceeds. Public information on the deal currently stops at the announcement stage.
