Yugabyte
CEO: Bill Cook
Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yugabyte is the developer of YugabyteDB, a distributed relational database designed to handle huge amounts of data spanning multiple geographic regions and availability zones. The database supports global, business-critical applications – such as in cybersecurity and financial services – that require low query latency and extreme resilience against failures. Yugabyte’s founders, including President Kannan Muthukkaruppan, CTO Karthik Ranganathan and Software Architect Mikhail Bautin started Yugabyte in 2016 after developing business-critical database technology at Oracle and Facebook. In March, Yugabyte raised $48 million as part of a Series B round of funding, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners.
