With the explosion of different kinds of data, companies are struggling to realize meaningful value from their stored data. Data teams are overworked, meanwhile — forced to cater to the needs of disparate departments within an organization while trying to maintain data policies consistently.

That’s the shared thesis of Shirshanka Das and Swaroop Jagadish, at least, the co-founders of Acryl Data, a startup providing tools to help companies organize and ostensibly better manage their data. Acryl today announced that it raised $21 million in a Series A round led by 8VC with participation from Sherpalo Ventures and Guillermo Rauch, founder and CEO of Vercel, bringing its total raised to $30 million.
