StreamSets

CEO: Girish Pancha

StreamSets is another company that is tackling the challenges of managing data in motion. More specifically, the startup develops software to guard against the insidious problem of "data drift" – the unpredictable mutations that data can undergo at the source and create problems when applications use that data.

The company's StreamSets Data Collector software is used to build complex data flows between any data source and any application where it's needed. In September the company debuted StreamSets Dataflow Performance Manager for managing dataflow operations.

Based in San Francisco, StreamSets was founded in 2014 by CEO Girish Pancha, former chief product officer at Informatica, and chief technology officer Arvind Prabhakar, an early employee and engineering leader at Cloudera.
