Ahana
Top Executive: Steven Mih, Co-Founder, CEO
Headquarters: San Mateo, Calif.
Ahana exited stealth earlier this year and began offering software and services around the PrestoDB open-source SQL engine. In September the company debuted its Ahana Cloud for Presto service designed to simplify the adoption, use and management of Presto and make it easier to connect the big data technology with databases, data catalogs and data lake systems.
Presto is an open-source, high-performance SQL query engine, originally developed at Facebook, for speeding up database queries from a variety of distributed data sources—a key issue for business analytics tasks that involve huge volumes of data.
Ahana has raised $4.8 million in venture financing.
