Hygraph Raises $30M to Power the Next Generation of Content Management

Hygraph, the content federation platform, has raised a $30 million Series B to help power the next generation of content management and bring their total funding to $43.7 million.

According to CEO and co-founder Michael Lukaszczyk, the company aims to do for content management what platforms like MuleSoft did for integration.

“In the same way the headless CMS changed content distribution, Hygraph is disrupting the integration of content and data to enable the creation of new digital services and business models in the content economy. Our new funding round will allow us to further scale our business,” he said.

Elsewhere, SAP wants to provide a new approach to composability that involves “headless with-a-head” software, Storyblok launches a new creator fund, Sitecore agencies seem ready to jump to more composable-ready solutions, and there were a few April Fool’s jokes going around.

“Despite the rise of the composable enterprise, many organizations are unable to unlock full value from their content. Hygraph solves the customization and integration challenges that continue to slow the creation of new or complex digital services at scale.”
