MapR Technologies Inc. missed a self-imposed July 3 deadline to secure new funding or find a buyer, but said itâs continuing discussions with a potential funding source that could keep the big-data company in business. âMapR is making meaningful progress toward a strategic transaction,â David H.

The company earlier had said that it would have to lay off 122 employees and close its Santa Clara, California headquarters if an investor wasnât found.
