Alation

Alation is a platform that makes data more accessible to individuals across an organization.

Alation was founded in 2012 when leading Ph.D. information retrieval engineers from Google, a designer from Apple and an executive from Oracle teamed up to empower people to easily access the data they need. Customers include some of the world’s largest organizations, with thousands of employees, petabytes of data and thousands of databases. Alation is based in sunny Redwood City, Calif., and funded by Andreessen Horowitz, Bloomberg Beta, Costanoa Venture Capital and Data Collective. For more information, visit alation.com.
