Last week we had exciting fundraising announcements from 6 companies including market intelligence & search company AlphaSense’s $100M Series D led by CapitalG and data-as-a-service company Cybersyn’s $63M round led by Snowflake.

In people moves, promotions, and appointments, there were 19 highlighted including multiple former colleagues of mine, Austin Goldberg’s promotion at Axiom, Franck Gossieaux joining LSEG, Jess Larson and Matthew Sommi joining Bespoke Partners, Julie Martin joining FRAYT, Ana Prices’s promotion at Inex One, and Eli Reisman joining the IFRS Foundation.

7 interesting roles at large organizations including Snowflake hiring a Head of Customer Data Workload and AB InBev hiring a Global Director, Core Insights and Foresight.

4 new podcasts highlighted including I See Data People, a new podcast from my friends Evan Schnidman and Omri Shtayer.
