Our take
The use of data integration software involves combining data from different sources to provide users with a unified view. Due to the growing need to combine several heterogeneous data sources, along with the rise of cloud computing, demand for effective data integration tools and services has been increasing.
While Fivetran is one of the most prominent platforms companies use to “extract, transform, and load” data into its warehouse, Hightouch does the opposite of that, what has become known as “reverse ETL.” For example, a company could use Fivetran to get the data into its warehouse and then use Hightouch to get the data from the warehouse and into Salesforce.
Hightouch serves a diverse range of clients, from B2B giants like Kong, Plaid, and Mattermost to B2C leaders like Nando's and Autotrader. With recent acquisitions including the product-led sales automation startup Workbase and the knowledge management startup Whatis, alongside an expanded partnership with Snowflake, Highlight continues to enhance its capabilities and provide seamless data activation for its growing customer base.

Company values
- Forever hungry: We are hungry and ambitious. We celebrate our accomplishments, but we’re never fully satisfied. We’re always figuring out how to collectively push ourselves further and do more. If we think we can grow the company 5x this year, the first question should be “why not 10x?"
- Kindness: We want to create an environment where people feel actively welcomed, encouraged, and supported. People who aren’t kind aren’t tolerated— it’s just not worth it. We intrinsically believe in a deeper kindness as a core value, aside from its obvious benefits to the business
- Efficient execution: Speed matters. We don’t have time for endless deliberation– most decisions are two-way doors. Move fast, adapt quickly. We take inspiration from others and don’t innovate where we don’t need to. We communicate clearly because time is precious. We parallelize to the greatest extent possible
- Compassion: We listen to everyone and try to put ourselves in their shoes, regardless of our initial reaction to what they say. This applies to everyone– customers, prospects, partners, peers, etc
- Impact driven: Everyone should be intrinsically motivated by business impact. We minimize distractions and prioritize our time based on what’s actually impactful to the business. We value people at all levels based on their impact above anything else
- Raising the bar: We have high expectations for performance and believe in having exceptional talent in every position. We understand the value of great people. We look deeper than credentials, prioritize slope over y-intercept, and put in the hard work to find those that truly raise the bar
- Humility: We are humble. Listening is mission critical— we are open to others’ perspectives and ideas. No work is beneath us. We also believe that humility leads to foresight. If we are not grounded and open minded, we blind ourselves from key opportunities and risks in every aspect of business
