As the most popular platform for Python data science, our team has always supported individual users and enterprises in their journey towards insight-based solutions. This year, we took that commitment even further with our acquisition of PythonAnywhere and our rollout of PyScript, a JavaScript framework that allows users to create Python applications in a browser. By extending the reach and accessibility of Python, PythonAnywhere and PyScript helps our industry take a giant leap toward democratizing data science—and we’re proud to be part of that change.
Supported by a thriving open-source community and buoyant trends hailing strong demand for our products, Anaconda has seen a 10X increase in new enterprise customers over the last two years. Every day, more and more companies are waking up to the fact that data can help solve their problems and Anaconda is their vehicle for change. As we look to the future, Anaconda’s continued investments across the Python and broader open-source ecosystem will strategically expand the boundaries of data science to include an ever-growing user base.
Now, on the heels of a tremendous year, we are pleased to announce that Anaconda has closed up to $60 million in new funds and accounts managed by BlackRock. This financing round will enable Anaconda to accelerate innovation for our millions of users and thousands of enterprises globally. In this next chapter of our journey, we will deliver market-changing solutions that create value for the business, stakeholders, and the broader community that sits at the heart of everything we do.
We work with customers, partners, users and employees worldwide who harness the power of open-source and data science to create a better world. This new round of funding will help us extend the mission of democratizing the use of Python even further, allowing our entire community to achieve even greater success in the coming months.
