Yellowbrick
Since our founding in 2014, we’ve been making data warehousing and application analytics better. We believe our customers’ data is a critical asset that must never end up on the internet. We can’t stand seeing customers overcharged by legacy vendors or paying for marked-up cloud infrastructure – we believe in passing on the benefits of ever-faster, ever-cheaper infrastructure and Moore’s Law. We’re flexible, great to do business with and our customers mean the world to us.
10 years later, Yellowbrick’s running massive data platform at Fortune 500 companies, cool SaaS vendors and governments around the world. We’re blazing the trail with a unique new architecture and business model called Private Data Cloud, based on Kubernetes. Whether you’d like to chat with us, try our stuff, or even come work here, we’d love to hear from you.
