Confluent
Top Executive: CEO Jay Kreps
Confluent’s flagship product, the Confluent Platform, provides the capability to organize and manage the massive volumes of streaming data being generated by businesses today and make the data available to business applications and information workers. The company’s event stream processing software is based on Apache Kafka, an open-source stream processing system that was developed by Confluent’s founders when they worked at LinkedIn.
Mountain View, Calif.-based Confluent raised a stunning $250 million in Series E funding earlier this month, pushing the company’s market valuation to $4.5 billion.
