“We founded ActiveViam to offer our customers the ability to conduct timely decision-making over fast-moving data where existing systems had failed to address these needs.  Financial services and retail organizations require actionable intelligence from rapidly changing operational data in real-time and we continue to innovate ActivePivot, our in-memory analytical platform and additional business applications to address these demands.  Guidepost will help us accelerate these initiatives,” said Allen Whipple, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ActiveViam.

“We are delighted to partner with ActiveViam and its outstanding leadership team for their next phase of rapid growth.  The company maintains a compelling market vision, has built out an industry-leading platform with an innovative product roadmap, and maintains exceptional customer retention metrics.  We look forward to working together with ActiveViam to accelerate growth in existing and new markets and further solidify its leadership position within the broader in-memory data analytics market,” said Russ Pyle, Managing Partner of Guidepost Growth Equity.
