Telmai
Automated data observability and quality
We built a platform that monitors data quality and data observability across any data system. It works directly on data lakes or warehouses in their raw form without needing to sample data. This helps teams catch data issues early and maintain trust in their analytics.
We are distributed across San Francisco, Foster City, and remote locations. We plan to keep this distributed setup after YC, as it works well for our team and talent pool.
Our team is already spread across these areas, so staying distributed lets us keep strong engineers on board without relocation hurdles. It also helps us cover US time zones effectively.
