History
Qlik (previously known as QlikTech) was founded in Lund, Sweden in 1993 as a software company in business intelligence (BI).[1][non-primary source needed] Its PC-based desktop tool was called QuikView. "Quik" stood for "Quality, Understanding, Interaction, Knowledge." Initially the software was sold only in Sweden.[2]
In 1993, Swedish VC Industrifonden joined the company as one of the first institutional investors.[3] Måns Hultman became CEO in 2000 and Lars Björk became CFO. Lars Björk became the CEO of Qlik 2007[4] and served the company until October 2017[5]. The company focused on the area of Business Intelligence (BI), growing from 35 employees in 1999 to 70 in 2003. At that point, QlikTech needed more capital and a broader vision to continue its growth.[relevant?], so a syndicate of existing investors together with venture capital firms Accel Partners and Jerusalem Venture Partners (JVP) raised $12.5 million in capital[6][non-primary source needed]
Alex Ott of Accel and Erel Margalit of JVP devised a growth strategy that resulted in a 35% annual growth rate and $13 million in revenue by 2004.[7][non-primary source needed]
In 2005, the single-user desktop tool was replaced with a server-based web tool. [8] Qlik established partnerships with Intel and HP, and incorporated charts and colors in their UI. Qlik customers include DB Schenker, Dendrite, Ericsson, and the Swedish Post.
In 2007, Lars Björk became Qlik’s CEO. The company claims a user base of 40,000 customers in 100 countries.[9][non-primary source needed] The company held an initial public offering in July 2010.
As of April 2011, the company had a market capitalization over $2 billion.[10][non-primary source needed]
In 2013, the company opened an office in Western Australia.[11]
In August 2015, the company expanded its R&D operations by opening an office in Ottawa, Ontario. [12][failed verification]
In June 2016, Qlik announced it had agreed to sell itself to private equity firm Thoma Bravo LLC for about $3 billion.[13]
In June 2018, C40 Cities, a network of global cities partnered with Qlik to create actionable data products.[14]
As of July 2018, Qlik is used by the British police to "predict crime. (Pay site)"[15]
