o San Mateo-Based Snowflake Computing Emerges from Stealth with $26M
San Mateo, Calif. -- Snowflake Computing, a San Mateo-based cloud data warehousing startup, said on Tuesday it has emerged from stealth mode after raising $26 million in funding from Redpoint Ventures, Sutter Hill Ventures and Wing Ventures. The company said it will use the proceeds to expand its team, accelerate product development activities and build out customer and partner ecosystems. Snowflake also said it has launched its Elastic Data Warehouse, a data warehouse built from the ground up as a cloud service. "There has been shockingly little innovation in data warehousing in a decade. That creates a huge and largely unaddressed market opportunity -- to create a data warehouse designed for the data, analytics and technology innovations of today and tomorrow," said CEO Bob Muglia. "This funding will further accelerate our product innovation and support our go-to-market strategy and investments.”
