Snowflake Ventures Puts Money into Ataccama to Build Better Data Trust
Snowflake Ventures has made a strategic investment in Ataccama, the company behind the Ataccama ONE data trust platform. This move builds on their ongoing work together to make data more reliable and explainable inside Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud. Ataccama shared the news in a press release on Yahoo Finance dated December 9, 2025.
Why This Matters for AI and Data Pipelines
The investment targets enterprise AI projects where data accuracy is key, especially as AI systems handle decisions without constant human checks. Ataccama’s tools check data at the start, fix issues during processing, and confirm it’s ready for Snowflake features like Cortex AI and Snowflake Intelligence. This setup helps cut rework, save on compute costs, and keep data consistent through Snowflake’s medallion layers—Bronze for raw data, Silver for cleaned, and Gold for trusted analytics.
Techzine Global covered the investment in a December 9 article. Channel Insider covered the story too, noting how it ramps up collaboration around AI data trust and observability in a December 9 article. SiliconANGLE reported the same investment, highlighting tighter ties to Snowflake’s platform for better data from intake to AI output, per their December 9 piece.
Real-World Use and Customer Wins
Companies already using both include T-Mobile, Prudential, Progressive, iA Financial Group, and Fifth Third Bank. Jason Wright, T-Mobile’s manager of technical products, said Ataccama gives them dependable data in Snowflake for processes that meet cybersecurity and compliance needs, speeding up insights without business drag.
