History

Tealium was founded in 2008 by Jeff Lunsford (former CEO of WebSideStory) and Mike Anderson. Initially known for its tag management solution, Tealium evolved into a full-scale customer data platform as the need for real-time, unified customer data became paramount in marketing and digital transformation. Over the years, Tealium has expanded its capabilities through innovation and funding—raising over $260 million to date, including a $96 million Series G round in 2021.
