Keeping up with the tradition, here is a synopsis of all that we accomplished this year and our plans for the next.
Earlier in March, we raised a $30M Series B investment round led by One Peak to accelerate the next generation of content management for the era of composable architectures.
The Series B funding has helped support our ongoing platform innovation and scale the company's growth.
We recently unveiled our plans for the new Hygraph interface.
This is designed for optimum performance, with a more intuitive user interface and numerous new features.
Here's what this new experience will offer:

Note: There will be an opt-in and we will keep the old version available for use for a certain time.
In 2023, two new experienced leaders joined our team to support our vision to build an innovative and future-proof platform to power the next generation of content management.
We are delighted to extend a warm welcome to Dr. Mario Lenz, joining us as our new Chief Product Officer (CPO), and Edan Gottlib as our new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).
This quarter, our teams continued to work on our new interface and made substantial progress on that front.
Here's a sneak peek of some of the improvements we plan to introduce in the new interface.
While the new interface is in the works, we also released the following new applications this quarter.
New applications
Akeneo
Akeneo is a Product Experience company and global leader in Product Information Management (PIM), helping organizations deliver enriched, engaging, consistent, and compelling product experiences across all owned and unowned channels.
The new app allows editors to search and link products from Akeneo directly from the Hygraph interface, and thereby deliver consistent product information across all channels; including eCommerce, mobile, print, social, points of sale, and beyond.
Aprimo helps enterprises unleash the power of their content by providing an AI-powered content operations platform. It helps them manage content planning, creation, and distribution all in one place while leveraging in-depth insights into how their content performs.
The new app allows content editors to add assets from Aprimo directly from the Hygraph interface, thus preventing any duplication of assets or having editors jump from system to system.

Top-level Remote Fields to allow you to fetch content from remote systems using one single Hygraph API, without the need to link remote content to content hosted in Hygraph.
New app framework to add functionalities to Hygraph, connect to external systems, automate workflows and do much more.
To help further reduce latency, we introduced Partial Cache invalidation and Read-write support on our high-performance cache. We will also be deprecating our old endpoint, so please make sure to replace it with the new endpoint.
The "Voice of the Customer" is a document that synthesizes Gartner Peer Insights' reviews over an 18-month period of vendors with end users of companies with >$50M in annual revenue. It was an honor to receive such positive feedback from these enterprises.
