DataScience.com Acquired By Oracle

Culver City-based DataScience.com, a developer of data science software led by serial entrepreneur Ian Swanson, has been acquired by Oracle, the companies said on Wednesday. Financial details of the acquisition were not announced. Oracle said it will add DataScience.com's platform to its Oracle Cloud, to allow its customers to "fully utilize" machine learning. The exit is the second big one for Swanson, who sold his last startup, Sometrics, a virtual currency monetization platform, to American Express in 2011. DataScience was venture backed by such investors as Greycroft Partners, TenOneTen, Crosscut Ventures, and Pelion Venture Partners.
