Starburst
Top Executive: CEO Justin Borgman
Starburst Data develops Starburst Enterprise for Presto, the company’s commercial offering of the Presto open-source, distributed SQL query engine for finding and analyzing data that resides in a variety of distributed data sources.
Presto is capable of querying data where it resides without having to move it—a major advantage in cloud and hybrid IT environments with increasingly scattered data sources. That makes it a more cost-efficient alternative to traditional data warehouse systems.
Founded in 2017, Starburst raised $100 million in Series C funding in January, bringing the Boston-based company’s total funding to $164 million and its market cap to $1.2 billion. In November 2020 the company launched Starburst Orbit, the company’s first partner program.
