The round was led by IA Ventures, with participation from Trilogy Equity Partners, Founder's Co-op, Ludlow Ventures, K9 Ventures, Functional Capital, and Wes Mckinney. The company had previously raised $3M, bringing its total funding to $13M. Founded by former AWS employees, Breck Fresen and Nick End, Row Zero was born out of their frustration doing data analysis on big datasets while working at Amazon. Row Zero opens billion row datasets (Excel has a 1,048,576 row limit), automatically updates from connected data warehouses, and supports enterprise security controls.

Row Zero is a spreadsheet that opens hundred million row data sets, connects directly to data repositories, and supports collaboration. Row Zero enables anyone with spreadsheet skills to work with big data and connect to live data sources. Data analysis shouldn't be complicated.
