According to the July 2025 CDP Institute Update, total funding increased by $830 million (a 10% rise) to $9,396 million during the period, but funding remained scarce. There were only two funding events during the period, a $373 million round for Klaviyo and a $5.5 million round for Chord. New vendors added $452 million to the report.

According to the January 2025 Customer Data Platform Industry Update, total funding rose by $988 million (13% increase) to $8,526 million during the report period. New vendors accounted for 728 employees and $72 million in financing. The employment count for existing vendors was essentially flat. By contrast, $915 million of the $988 million funding increase came from existing vendors.

New companies struggle to attract funding. There were two large funding events, but both went to established firms: a $500 million Series E for Insider and a $408 million debt offering for Informatica. Overall, companies founded after 2014 account for just 11% of industry funding despite comprising 25% of the vendor count.

FAQ

How much total funding has the CDP industry received?

As of mid-2025, total CDP industry funding stands at approximately $9.4 billion, according to the CDP Institute. This figure has grown steadily over time, though the pace of new funding rounds has slowed significantly since the peak years of 2021 and 2022.

Are CDP startups still getting funded?

New CDP startups are finding it increasingly difficult to attract funding. Companies founded after 2014 account for just 11% of total industry funding despite making up 25% of the vendor count, and the largest recent funding rounds have gone to established firms like Klaviyo and Insider rather than early-stage companies.

What types of CDP vendors receive the most funding?

Campaign and delivery CDP vendors, which combine data unification with customer engagement capabilities, have attracted the largest funding rounds in recent years. Analytics and data-focused CDPs also receive significant investment, but the trend favors vendors that offer activation and AI capabilities alongside their core data platform.
