Ditto Raises $82M in Series B Funding
Summary
Ditto, a San Francisco, CA-based database with built-in edge device connectivity and resiliency, raised $82M in Series B funding, at $462M valuation. The company intends to use the funds to deepen its partnerships with MongoDB and other cloud database vendors, expand its product offerings into new markets, and scale operations globally. Led by CEO Adam Fish, Ditto provides a mobile database enabling apps to synchronize without using a central server or constant cloud connectivity. Devices running Ditto apps can discover and communicate with each other directly, forming an ad-hoc mesh network rather than routing everything through a cloud server. The platform automatically handles the complexity of discovery and connectivity using whatever channels are available, for example, Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, or local LAN, to find nearby devices and sync data with them.
