However, most organizations need to do much more in protecting their data by having a robust safety net,” noted Yousuf Khan, previously CIO at Pure Storage and now a partner at Ridge Ventures. “Cloud data has become a fundamental element of modern business – and therefore, also a primary business risk – as more critical business operations move to the cloud. Actively hiring across all core business functions, Rewind will also use the new capital to strengthen its R&D, sales, marketing and customer service teams to support its global market expansion. This raise will accelerate its product development pipeline, bringing new data protection solutions to market faster than any current BaaS provider. Rewind gives businesses of all sizes immediate access to usable, comprehensive backups so they can quickly recover from a tiny data-entry error or a massive data disaster.Īlready protecting data in leading cloud apps like BigCommerce, QuickBooks Online, Shopify, and Shopify Plus, the company currently backs up over 33 billion data points globally. Rewind will use the funding to fulfill its mission of protecting businesses by protecting their cloud data. SaaS providers back up their own cloud infrastructure but don’t make account-level, business-critical information (such as sales,marketing and financial data) available to their users. According to a recent Oracle report, while half of businesses plan to have all their data in the cloud in the next two years, most cloud users have lost data. “The incredible Rewind leadership team has already built a tremendously successful company – demonstrating customer growth and capital efficiency, while effectively scaling the number of supported applications – and is well positioned to redefine comprehensive cloud data protection in the years ahead.” Building reliable, secure backups is an opportunity that has the potential to scale across hundreds of applications and be part of the backbone of the way millions of businesses work and store their data,” added Magaly Charbonneau, partner at Inovia Capital. “Rewind provides solutions that are pivotal to the growth and proper utility of the cloud. Ridge Ventures and Bessemer Venture Partners also participated in the round, which Rewind will use to fuel its continued expansion as it builds out backup-as-a-service (BaaS) support for business-critical SaaS applications.
