Celonis SE is an [3][4] American-German data processing company that offers software as a service (SaaS) to improve business processes.[5] It is headquartered in Munich, Germany and New York, United States.[4][3][6]

History

[edit]

Celonis was founded in 2011 by Alex Rinke, Bastian Nominacher, and Martin Klenk as a spin-off from the Technical University of Munich (TUM).[1] In 2012, Celonis joined the SAP Startup Focus program,[7] an accelerator for analytics startups building new applications on the SAP HANA platform.[8]

In July 2015, Celonis signed a reseller agreement with SAP.[9] Celonis has since been offered by SAP as Celonis Process Mining by SAP.[10] Celonis was the first company from the SAP Startup Focus program to sign a reseller agreement with SAP.[11]

In June 2016, Celonis received $27.5m in series A funding led by 83North and Accel.[12]

In June 2018, Celonis received a further $50m in series B funding at a valuation of $1bn. The funding round was led by 83North and Accel.[13]

In November 2019, Celonis closed $290m in series C funding at a valuation of $2.5bn.[14]
