American cloud data warehousing company founded in 2012 — which had the largest software IPO in history at $33B in 2020 — by building a cloud-native data platform that separated storage and compute, enabling truly elastic scaling.
Rebuilt the data warehouse from scratch for the cloud — separating storage from compute, enabling simultaneous queries without performance degradation, and charging per query rather than per license — creating a more scalable and economically aligned model than on-premise competitors.
