The leader in automated data movement
We build automated data pipelines that move data between cloud platforms without manual effort. Our product handles extracts, schema changes, and transforms so data engineers spend less time fixing pipelines and more time on impact.
We live in Oakland, California, and plan to base the company here after YC.
Oakland has allowed us to build strong engineering and go-to-market teams. Staying local keeps our team stable and aligned.
