Rivery
Top Executive: Itamar Ben Hemo, Co-Founder and CEO
Headquarters: New York
Rivery is gaining attention in the expanding area of DataOps or data operations management.
The startup offers what it calls an “intuitive” data integration and preparation platform that simplifies the process of aggregating and transforming both internal and external data into a single stream for loading into cloud-based analytics systems such as Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery and Snowflake.
The company’s platform includes a no-code ETL (extract, transform, load) tool, software for automatically migrating data from on-premises systems to cloud data warehouses, and data orchestration tools to connect and orchestrate all in-house and third-party data sources.
Founded in 2018, Rivery raised $16 million in a Series A round of funding led by Entrée Capital and State Of Mind Ventures. The company received $5 million in a seed round of funding in November 2019.
