With the rise of data-driven decision-making, businesses across industries recognize the need for real-time analytics to stay competitive. Rockset’s platform empowers organizations to unlock the full potential of their data by providing a seamless experience for ingesting, processing, and querying data in real-time.

“Every organization is now acquiring valuable, business-critical data in real-time and is looking to leverage it to build better products for their customers or operate their business more efficiently,” said Venkat Venkataramani. “Previous generations of databases weren’t built for search and AI apps, and either become too expensive since they’re not built for real-time search and AI, or too clumsy to operate and scale — increasing development costs.”
Venkataramani focused on the fact that San Francisco-based Rockset has been “restrained” in controlling its costs and edges up to this point and that it’s in a “solid” monetary position additionally reinforced by the present VC imbuement (despite the endeavor obligation). The headcount remains at around 80 workers, which he expects will develop to about 100 by January 2024.
