# Anaplan

Investment Raised- 144.4 Million

Anaplan is a cloud-based business modeling and planning platform for sales, operations and finance. The company is a recent entrant to the business planning market, which for decades has been dominated by the “big four”, legacy vendors: IBM, Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft.

Anaplan CTO Michael Gould developed Anaplan as a response to these legacy systems. At the core of his technology is a single hub where the business user, and not IT, can build, deploy, maintain, and share models.

In May, it raised $100 million on an over $1 billion valuation, after reporting phenomenal growth from generating about $10 million in all of 2012, to $10 million per quarter in 2013, to about $10 million per month as of January 2014.
