On March 1,
Metadata.io announced a $40 million Series B funding round led by
Resolute Ventures and
Next47. Several other SaaS founders and CEOs also participated in the round.
This new capital investment will allow Metadata to develop a new software category as it triples its growth and expands its platform capabilities to become the first optimal operating system for B2B marketers.
Today, B2B marketers have to endure technical, repetitive, and mundane tasks while running paid campaigns. With the help of AI and machine learning, Metadata aims to free B2B marketers from these tasks to allocate their time to strategy, experimentations, and creativity.
Metadata automates tasks, optimizes campaigns to revenue, and scales their performances before needing more resources.
“In 2021, the Metadata platform executed nearly $50 million of digital spend for over 150 customers across Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, Quora, and Display, resulting in over $130 million in marketing-sourced pipeline and over $2 billion of influenced pipeline,” said Gil Allouche, Metadata CEO.

Matthew Cowan, General Partner at Next47, thinks that Metadata’s loyal customer base indicates success in the future. “When speaking with dozens of Metadata customers, it was clear that Metadata is a vital part of their operations. Metadata’s commitment to their customers is evident in their growth and the tangible results they’ve provided B2B marketers,” said Cowan. “Their vision of building the first operating system for B2B marketing is exactly what this industry needs. As we were looking to make investments in truly disruptive marketing technologies, Metadata's vision, combined with their current performance, and future trajectory, is what compelled us to lead this round of funding with them.”
Raanan Bar-Cohen, founding partner at Resolute Ventures, who led Metadata’s Series A round, has already witnessed Metadata’s impact on its customers.
“We’re not surprised by Metadata’s consistent ‘up and to the right’ trajectory,” said Bar-Cohen. “Gil and his team have shown a commitment to technology innovation and customer obsession, in a space that is busy with undifferentiated tech. Metadata has a true passion for making life easier for B2B marketers and has a track record of delivering capabilities that truly reduce the task load on B2B marketers while maximizing marketing performance – and that dedication is what will continue to allow their team to define their category as a new kind of operating system for B2B marketers.”
