Our take
Data lakehouse platform Dremio bridges the gap between data warehouses and data lakes to help data engineers, analysts and scientists streamline, curate, and run queries on raw, purpose non-specific data, allowing them to quickly build analytics stacks. The self-service platform enables users to create datasets from a multitude of sources and can be deployed on Kubernetes clusters, AWS, and Azure.
The company is tackling the longstanding, time-draining problem of having to manually extract raw data and load it into data warehouses, providing customers with low-cost, sub-second SQL queries for BI on the data lakehouse. Its offering has captured the attention of some big-name clients including Samsung, Bose, HSBC, and Microsoft, and has raised substantial funding.
Dremio is well set to see continued growth as it continues to innovate its data offerings, with a focus on security and privacy. A partnership with PlainID, provider of a central access control platform, will allow clients to manage and control access to data via Dremio, and the company has also achieved HIPAA certification.

Company values
- People - How we communicate with each other is the #1 priority for Gnarlies. Clarity is essential for teams to be productive and accountable for their contributions. When we approach communication from the standpoint of respect, even disagreements can have healthy outcomes.
- Thinking - We think about our work by staying focused on results. To do that, we sometimes need to have hard conversations confronting uncomfortable issues. Asking questions, being curious, and staying inquisitive is the best way to learn and grow.
- Action - We’re scaling fast, so we’re past the early days of building for only one customer at a time. Now we’re thinking in terms of scalability and how everything we do needs to serve hundreds and thousands.
