Self-hosted data lakehouse platform

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

We built a self-hosted data lakehouse platform that lets companies unify all their data wherever it lives - on-premises, private cloud, or public cloud - into one place for large-scale analytics and machine learning workloads. Our product keeps everything running in the customer's environment, ensuring they retain full control over their data without giving it up to third parties.

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

We live and operate primarily out of Mountain View, CA, with a remote team spread elsewhere. Post-YC, we plan to keep the company based here but continue with a remote-friendly setup.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Mountain View is where we started and where our early team is located. Being remote-friendly lets us tap into talent outside Silicon Valley while still maintaining a strong core in a major tech hub.
