StarTree is the developer of cloud analytics-as-a-service platform designed to offer fast, fresh, and actionable insights. The company's platform offers concurrent, scalable, and real-time analytics, enabling clients to make better decisions with the right information, at the right time. Companies like Stripe, Razorpay, and Just Eat Takeaway use StarTree Cloud to power user-facing analytics applications that require low latency and high concurrency.
The founders, Kishore Gopalakrishna and Xiang Fu, have expertise in large-scale data systems from their tenures as engineers at LinkedIn and Uber. Their first-hand experience building internal data platforms led them to create Apache Pinot and ultimately commercialize it through StarTree. With over $75 million in funding from investors like GGV Capital and Bain Capital Ventures, StarTree aims to become the leading real-time analytics platform for user-facing applications across industries.
Prospective employees would be drawn to StarTree's mission of democratizing data access and the opportunity to have a significant impact on an open-source project with rapidly growing adoption. The company faces risks around executing its product roadmap to meet evolving customer needs and differentiating itself from open-source alternatives and well-funded competitors like Imply and Rockset. However, StarTree's early mover advantage and the pedigree of its founders position it strongly in the emerging real-time analytics market.
