Acquia raises $55 million series G

Today, we're excited to announce that Acquia has closed a $55 million financing round, bringing the total investment in the company to $188.6 million. Led by new investor Centerview Capital Technology, the round includes existing investors New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and Split Rock Partners.

We are in the middle of a big technological and economic shift, driven by the web, in how large organizations and industries operate. At Acquia, we have set out to build the best platform for helping organizations run their businesses online, invent new ways of doing business, and maximize their digital impact on the world.

What Acquia does is not at all easy – or cheap – but we've made good strides towards that vision. We have become the backbone for many of the world's most influential digital experiences and continue to grow fast.

In the process, we are charting new territory with a unique business model rooted in Drupal and Open Source.

A fundraising round like this helps us scale our global operations, sales and marketing as well as the development of our solutions for building, delivering and optimizing digital experiences. It also gives us flexibility.

I'm proud of what we have accomplished so far, and I'm excited about the big opportunity ahead of us.
