HighByte Announces Series A Congratulations to HighByte on securing Series A funding from Standard Investments, Exposition Ventures, and Maine Venture Fund. HighByte raised $12 million in this round. Getting funding is tougher now; the availability of VC funding has dropped about 60% since the peak in Q4 2021 so many early-stage companies struggle to attract quality investors like these. It is interesting to see that Standard Investments is the lead investor. Standard Investments is part of Standard Industries which is best known for GAF, the largest roofing manufacturer in North America. It is always helpful to have investors who understand industrial operations. HighByte’s flagship product, Intelligence Hub, fits into LNS Research’s classification of Industrial DataOps Software in our latest IX Reference Architecture. The software contextualizes industrial data from PLCs, historians, and transactional data sources while offering codeless integration, data conditioning, and data transformations. Several of HighByte’s executives have prior experience in this field, having been instrumental in building Kepware, a PTC Technology. We are looking forward to seeing the HighByte team apply the proceeds to continue growing while empowering manufacturers to use industrial data more effectively. Tagging: Tony Paine, John Harrington, Torey Penrod-Cambra Follow LNS Research's Matthew Littlefield, James Wells, Bob Francis, Allison Kuhn, Vivek Murugesan, Tom Comstock, and Mehul Shah for more insights.

One of the most common requests: how do I get more value from my data, quicker. This has great potential to continue to accelerate the data-centric mindset manufacturers are seeking! Thanks for the analysis Niels Erik Andersen.
