Cockroach Labs
CEO: Spencer Kimball
Founded in 2015, Cockroach Labs is the creator of CockroachDB, an enterprise-grade distributed SQL database that helps organizations move and manage critical transactional data in the cloud. Its customers include Bose, Comcast, Equifax and Netflix. In May, the New York startup said it landed $86.6 million in series D funding led by Altimeter Capital and technology investment firm BOND, bringing the round total to $195 million. Cockroach will use the funds for research and development to help customers meet new work-from-home requirements and migrate from legacy, cloud-sourced data platforms to its elastically scalable multi-cloud platform. The company doubled its headcount in the last year and launched CockroachCloud, a self-service distributed SQL database.
