OpenOcean’s investment in Hygraph

We are happy to announce our recent lead investment into Berlin-based Hygraph (former GraphCMS), bringing total funding to $13.7 million (approx £10 million). It is our largest initial Series A investment to date, aimed at creating a unified data and content layer as a backbone for the data-driven Enterprise.

Unlike legacy systems, Hygraph’ platform can deliver content as data to any platform or device via API, removing the need to format content to each specific device and platform. This allows customers to deliver omnichannel content at scale.

Hygraph will use this investment to focus on API integrations, accelerate product adoption, and grow its team globally across the US, UK, and European markets.

At the start of the year, “2025: The Year of Agents” sounded like headline bait. Eight months in, it feels like an understatement. Sam Altman said agents would “join the workforce” in 2025. Satya Nadella expects them to replace segments of knowledge work. Marc Benioff wants Salesforce to be the “#1 provider of digital labour.” That’s not future tense anymore - today, agents are moving tickets, shipping code, and digesting documents.

Since then, we have taken dozens of first meetings, explored more than 15 verticals, backed our first deals, and sharpened our thesis along the way.
