Alteryx, Inc. is an American computer software company based in Irvine, California,[1] with a development center in Broomfield, Colorado,[2][3] and offices worldwide. The company's products are used for data science and analytics.[4][5] The software is designed to make advanced analytics automation accessible to any data worker.[6]

History

SRC LLC, the predecessor to Alteryx, was founded in 1997 by Dean Stoecker, Olivia Duane Adams and Ned Harding.[7] SRC developed the first online data engine for delivering demographic-based mapping and reporting shortly after being founded.[8] In 1998, SRC released Allocate, a data engine incorporating geographically organized U.S. Census data[9] that allows users to manipulate, analyze and map data.[10] Solocast was developed in 1998, which was software that allowed customers to do customer segmentation analysis.[8]

In 2000, SRC LLC entered into a contract with the U.S. Census Bureau that resulted in a modified version of its Allocate software being included on CD-ROMs of Census Data sold by the Bureau.[10][11]

In 2006, the software product Alteryx was released, which was a unified spatial and non-spatial data environment for building analytical processes and applications.[8]

In 2010, SRC LLC changed its name to that of its core product, Alteryx.[12]

In 2011, Alteryx raised $6 million in venture funding from the Palo Alto investment arm of SAP AG, SAP Ventures.[7] In 2013, Alteryx raised $12 million from SAP Ventures and Toba Capital.[13][14] In 2014, the company raised $60 million in Round B funding[4][5] from Insight Venture Partners, Sapphire Ventures (formerly SAP Ventures) and Toba Capital, and announced plans for a 30% workforce expansion.[3]

In 2015, ICONIQ Capital led an $85 million investment in Alteryx, with Insight Venture Partners and Meritech Capital Partners also participating.[15] Alteryx announced plans to use the new capital to expand internationally, invest in research and development, and increase its sales and marketing efforts.[16][17]

On March 24, 2017, Alteryx went public in an IPO listed on the NYSE.[18]

In October 2017, it was discovered that Alteryx was subject to a data breach of partially anonymized data records for approximately 120 million U.S. households.[19]

In October 2020, Alteryx announced Mark Anderson as CEO, with Stoecker becoming Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors.[20]

In December 2023, Alteryx announced Clearlake Capital and Insight Partners, two private equity firms, acquired the company in a $4.4 billion deal. The acquisition will take Alteryx private.[21][22]

The acquisition added an engineering hub for Alteryx in Boston, Massachusetts. Feature Labs had raised $1.5 million prior to the acquisition.[37]
