What Artie does

Artie is software that streams data from databases to data warehouses in real-time. Today, most companies run their ETL process every few hours or overnight, so their data warehouse is always out of date; with Artie, the warehouse always has live production data.

Streams database data to warehouses live

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Artie to stream data from production databases to data warehouses in real-time. Instead of running ETL jobs every few hours or overnight, our software hooks directly into the databases and delivers fresh data instantly to warehouses, keeping analytics always current.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we started and where our engineering talent and early customers are. Staying here keeps us close to developers building data infrastructure who shape Artie's roadmap.
