Bloomberg was among the investors as the data management software producer boosted its overall funding to $6.5m, revealing its latest product at the same time.

US-based data management technology startup BlueTalon raised $5m in series A funding on Wednesday from backers including Bloomberg Beta, a corporate venturing subsidiary of data and media company Bloomberg.

Signia Venture Partners, Biosys Capital, Stanford-StartX Fund, Divergent Ventures, Berggruen Holdings and Data Collective also contributed capital to the round.
