Starburst

Starburst is betting on a decentralized future of big data and pursuing an unconventional view in the burgeoning data industry, which is currently dominated by the cloud data behemoth Snowflake. Starburst promises the ability to run analytics on data from a variety of sources simultaneously, without needing to extract or transform data so it can be loaded into a single destination data warehouse. The company announced in Feb 2022 that it raised $250 million from Alkeon Capital, nearly tripling its valuation to $3.35 billion.
