Data analytics startup Coralogix doubles valuation to over $1 billion in latest funding round
By Arasu Kannagi Basil and Ateev Bhandari
(Reuters) -Data analytics platform Coralogix nearly doubled its valuation to over $1 billion in its latest funding round, co-founder and CEO Ariel Assaraf told Reuters in an interview, as artificial intelligence-driven enterprise offerings continue to pique investor delight.
Coralogix raised $115 million in a round led by California-based venture growth firm NewView Capital, the startup said on Tuesday. Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) and venture firm NextEquity also participated in the round.
The fundraise comes three years after Coralogix's previous external funding in 2022, where it raised $142 million. Valuations have faced downward pressure since then, as investors continue to sit on dry powder amid elevated interest rates and geopolitical tensions.
Enterprise software-as-a-service startups, however, have endured a wider slowdown in venture capital funding, with an AI gold-rush pushing SaaS financing to record $58 billion in the first quarter, according to PitchBook.
Coralogix's revenue increased seven times since 2022, Assaraf told Reuters. The company, however, is yet to be profitable, with nearly 75% of its revenue in 2024 going towards research and development, according to Assaraf.
"Successful companies in our space always invest a large portion of their revenue in R&D and were very late to become profitable," Assaraf added, noting a similar pathway across peers Datadog and Splunk.
Startups are integrating AI-driven agents across IT development and operations as enterprises increasingly ask for all-in-one platforms to oversee their entire cloud infrastructure and processes.
Coralogix expanded into AI observability with the acquisition of Aporia in December 2024. The company is aggressively looking to expand its AI talent pool, Assaraf said.
"If there's a strategic acquisition of a company with a specific, very talented pool of people around AI, we will make those acquisitions, even if they're not small," he told Reuters.
On Tuesday, Coralogix also unveiled its new AI agent "olly," aiming to simplify data monitoring via a conversational platform. Industry leaders have hailed AI-based agents as a transformative use case of the technology.

Buss family agrees to sell controlling stake of Lakers to Mark Walter for $10B, AP source says
The Buss family has agreed to sell the controlling stake of the Los Angeles Lakers to TWG Global CEO Mark Walter, doing so with a franchise valuation of $10 billion — the most ever for a professional sports franchise, a person with knowledge of the agreement said Wednesday. As part of the deal, Jeanie Buss — whose family has had control of the Lakers since her father bought the team in 1979 — intends to remain as governor, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither side immediately announced details. It is not clear how much of the Lakers that Walter is acquiring. He was part of a group that bought 27% of the Lakers in 2021. Walter is part of the ownership of many other franchises, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chelsea FC, the Los Angeles Sparks and several auto racing teams. ESPN first reported the agreement. ___ AP NBA: Tim Reynolds, The Associated Press Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Mexican restaurant known for making one of Fresno's most famous tacos is moving
One of Fresno's most celebrated taco restaurants is about to get bigger. El Premio Mayor, which began as a food truck and is a six-time Taco Truck Throwdown winner, is moving out of its original brick-and-mortar location on Avenue and relocating down the street at the old Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen at First Street and McKinley. Owner Bianca Loza confirmed the move and said she's hopeful that El Premio Mayor's new location could open sometime in September or October. 'It's definitely exciting and long overdue,' Loza told The Bee. 'As our business has grown, we've been looking for something bigger but didn't want to stray too far. 'Just staying close to our roots where we started. But in a bigger location.' El Premio Mayor has been at its current location at 3110 E. McKinley Avenue since 2009. Before that, El Premio Mayor had been strictly a food truck since 1996 and parked at various spots, including in front of the car wash next to the restaurant's current McKinley location. The new El Premio Mayor location is roughly 1/4 mile from the restaurant's current location, which will remain open throughout the move before closing sometime by the end of the year. El Premio Mayor also has a taqueria at 3141 N. Maroa Ave. (off Shields Avenue), which has been around since 2012. El Premio Mayor's new McKinley spot will provide a larger kitchen space, which will allow the restaurant the opportunity to offer more options on the menu, including birria and asada fries currently offered at the Maroa location, Loza said. The former Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen restaurant, which closed in April, is listed as 1,518-plus square feet. The location also has more parking, which has been an issue at the current McKinley resturant, Losa said. Customers sometimes park in the nearby neighborhood. 'This area is where we started, and we didn't want to leave that,' Loza said. 'But we wanted to offer a better experience for our employees and for our customers. 'When the old Popeye's building became available, it just made sense.' El Premio Mayor's popularity grew when the restaurant decided to compete in the second Taco Truck Throwdown in 2012. El Premio Mayor went on to be awarded six times for its tacos at the annual invent, including the People's Choice award three straight years. El Premio Mayo tacos also ranked among the top 10 most famous restaurant dishes in Fresno, according to a Fresno Bee readers poll conducted earlier this year. But it's not just award-winning food that El Premio Mayor has become known for. The family-run business has participated in fundraisers, handed out warm burritos to people in need during the winter, volunteered to feed firefighters and donated lunches to frontline workers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Assemblymember Dr. Joaquin Arambula. For their efforts, El Premio Mayor in 2022 received the Small Business of the Year award for District 31 from Arambula. The award, granted by the California legislature, celebrates small businesses across assembly districts 'because they are the backbone of the state's economy.'

Buss family to sell controlling stake of Lakers to Mark Walter for $10B valuation, AP source says
The Buss family has agreed to sell the controlling stake of the Los Angeles Lakers to TWG Global CEO Mark Walter, doing so with a franchise valuation of $10 billion — the highest ever for a professional sports franchise, a person with knowledge of the agreement said Wednesday. As part of the deal, Jeanie Buss — whose family has had control of the Lakers since her father bought the team in 1979 — intends to remain as team governor, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither side immediately announced details. Advertisement It is not clear how much more of the Lakers that Walter is acquiring. He was part of a group that bought 27% of the Lakers in 2021. Jeanie Buss will still own at least 15% of the Lakers once this transaction is completed; by NBA rule, a governor must have at least that much of an ownership stake. Walter and TWG Global already had the controlling interest in the Los Angeles Dodgers, Premier League club Chelsea, the Professional Women's Hockey League, and — through TWG Motorsports — owns several auto racing teams including Cadillac Formula 1. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said news of the sale to Walter marks "a very exciting day for the Lakers, for the city of Los Angeles.' 'He's very competitive and he's going to do everything he can to produce a championship-caliber team every single year and make sure the city feels proud about the Lakers and the legacy that they've already built with the Buss family," Roberts said. Advertisement ESPN first reported the agreement. 'Mark Walter is the best choice and will be the best caretaker of the Laker brand,' Lakers legend Magic Johnson, a business partner of Walter's and someone extremely close to Jeanie Buss, posted on social media. 'The proof is in the pudding on what he's been able to accomplish with the LA Dodgers. Mark has been nothing short of a winner notching 2 World Series and 11 NL West divisional titles in the last 12 years!' Johnson said he is certain Jeanie Buss made the deal only after being convinced that Walter will do right by the Lakers. 'Laker fans should be (ecstatic),' Johnson said. 'A few things I can tell you about Mark — he is driven by winning, excellence, and doing everything the right way. AND he will put in the resources needed to win! I can understand why Jeanie sold the team to Mark Walter because they are just alike — they are competitive people, have big hearts, love to give back, and both prefer to be behind the scenes. This makes all the sense in the world.' Advertisement Walter is intensely private in shunning the spotlight. He is CEO of the financial services firm Guggenheim Partners, which is estimated to have more than $325 billion in assets. Johnson is among Guggenheim's investors. The agreement for the sale of the Lakers comes about three months after Bill Chisholm agreed to buy the Boston Celtics with an initial valuation of $6.1 billion — which was going to be a record, topping the previous mark of $6.05 billion sale for the NFL's Washington Commanders. The Celtics' sale is not yet finalized, pending final approval by the NBA's board of governors. That board is scheduled to meet in Las Vegas next month. And now, the Lakers are sold with a valuation of $10 billion — not just a record, but a total smashing of the previous mark. The Lakers have been in the control of the Buss family for 46 years, the longest of any current NBA franchise. Herb Simon bought the Indiana Pacers — currently in the NBA Finals — in 1983, the second-longest current ownership of an NBA club. Advertisement Jerry Buss bought the Lakers for $67.5 million and made it to the NBA Finals 16 times out of his 34 seasons leading the club, winning 10 championships in that span. When he died in 2013, ownership of the Lakers went into a trust controlled by Buss' six children — who all worked for the Lakers in various capacities for several years. Eventually, the family began clashing over control. An agreement was struck in 2017 calling for Jeanie Buss to serve as controlling owner, ending a battle that included her going to court after her brothers Jim and Johnny Buss called for a board meeting that she interpreted as a challenge to her power — shortly after she removed Jim Buss as the Lakers' executive vice president of basketball operations. ___ AP Sports Writers Beth Harris and John Wawrow contributed to this story. ___ AP NBA: Tim Reynolds, The Associated Press
