Jul 2023Undisclosed stageBeyond Net Zero (lead); KKR; Generation Investment Management$116M$3.7Bo9 Solutions is an enterprise AI software platform provider offering the Digital Brain for integrated business planning, supply chain management, demand forecasting, and decision-making across industries like retail, consumer goods, automotive, and pharmaceuticals. Customers include PepsiCo, Nestle, AB InBev, Walmart Canada, Pirelli, New Balance, and GE. Founded in 2009 with headquarters in Dallas and operations in India, the company became a unicorn in 2020 and doubled to double-unicorn status by 2022. On July 19, 2023, o9 Solutions announced a $116 million incremental funding round from existing investors led by General Atlantic’s BeyondNetZero, with participation from KKR and Generation Investment Management. This investment valued the company at $3.7 billion post-money, up from $2.7 billion in its prior January 2022 round where it raised $295 million from the same investors plus General Atlantic. Gary Reiner, General Atlantic Operating Partner, joined o9’s board. Funds are earmarked for expanding AI capabilities and supporting client growth. The round followed strong performance, with o9 reporting 55% year-over-year ARR growth as of Q2 2023, 67% as of Q1 2023, 65% for full-year 2022, and 47% for full-year 2023. The company also achieved 70+ go-lives in 2023 and grew its workforce to over 2,500 employees. This investment amid a market downturn validated o9’s execution in digital transformation and sustainability-focused supply chain solutions. Previously, in January 2022, o9 raised $295 million at $2.7 billion valuation, following a threefold ARR increase from new customers in the prior year and up from $1 billion in its 2020 KKR-led round. The 2023 extension underscores continued investor confidence in o9’s platform for accelerating planning speed, quality, and AI-driven innovation across global markets.
Jan 2022Undisclosed stageKKR; Beyond Net Zero; General Atlantic; Generation Investment Management$295M$2.7Bo9 Solutions is an enterprise AI software platform provider offering the 'Digital Brain,' an AI-powered integrated business planning platform that enhances supply chain visibility, analytics, planning, collaboration, and decision-making across 27 vertical industries including retail, semiconductor, consumer packaged goods, manufacturing, and life sciences. The platform unifies planning, forecasting, and execution through AI-driven intelligence, enabling companies to build live digital models of enterprise data, detect risks and opportunities, forecast demand accurately, and evaluate what-if scenarios in real-time while supporting sustainability goals by optimizing supply chains, which are major sources of environmental impact. On January 26, 2022, o9 Solutions raised $295 million in equity funding from General Atlantic (including its BeyondNetZero climate investing venture), Generation Investment Management, and existing investor KKR, valuing the company at $2.7 billion post-money, nearly triple the $1 billion valuation from its April 2020 KKR-led round. The investors were attracted by o9's role in addressing supply chain disruptions exacerbated by the pandemic, demand volatility, and sustainability pressures. The funds aim to accelerate growth across industry verticals and markets, including recent expansions into the Middle East and Southeast Asia, drive R&D innovation, develop industry knowledge models, and expand the partner ecosystem for faster platform implementation and greater client value. The round followed a record year with annual recurring revenue (ARR) from new customers growing more than threefold (or 400% in one report) year-over-year, alongside workforce expansion from roughly 800 to 1,600 employees. o9's traction reflects strong demand for its differentiated platform amid investor interest in supply chain startups, several of which achieved unicorn status in 2021 like ShipBob, Stord, and Flock Freight.

The platform supports digital transformation of planning and operations for enterprises in sectors like retail, consumer goods, apparel, consumer electronics, industrial manufacturing, and oil & gas, offering capabilities such as demand forecasting, supply chain optimization, and execution through digital engagement. The funding aimed to accelerate go-to-market initiatives for o9's next-generation technology across industry verticals and global markets. At the time, o9 reported more than 100% year-over-year growth in annual recurring revenue, highlighting strong traction amid rising demand for resilient planning solutions, further elevated by the COVID-19 pandemic. KKR highlighted o9's innovation, execution excellence, and endorsements from blue-chip clients, positioning it as a pioneer in supply chain planning.
