YData Agrees to be Acquired by KPMG US

England & Company is pleased to announce that it has served as the exclusive financial advisor to YData Labs, Inc. (“YData” or the “Company”) on its pending acquisition by KPMG US. This transaction deepens England’s Technology footprint advising companies across the Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and broader IT infrastructure ecosystem.

YData was founded in 2019 to unlock the power of synthetic data to accelerate innovation, ensure privacy, and enable AI through improved quality data. What started as a vision to make data more accessible grew into a platform trusted by teams around the world.

With this acquisition, KPMG will strengthen its AI client offerings, harness synthetic data to enhance AI-enabled client delivery for Audit and Assurance, Tax and Advisory services, and establish a Synthetic Data Center of Excellence designed to accelerate innovation and safeguard client confidentiality.

Gonçalo Martins Ribeiro, Founder and CEO of YData, commented, “England was an exceptional partner throughout this process. Their deep understanding of the AI infrastructure ecosystem and connectivity into key stakeholders coupled with expert process guidance, was instrumental in allowing YData to position the Company to play a key role in how synthetic data will shape the future of AI.”

“In a rapidly evolving AI landscape, synthetic data is playing a key role in testing, training and deploying solutions while balancing privacy, compliance and time-to-value demands,” noted England Managing Director, Joel Strauch. “YData combines a leading-edge platform with deep technical expertise to build, test, and scale synthetic data to support AI. We’re honored to have had the opportunity to partner with the YData team and look forward to seeing their continued success as part of KPMG.”
