Snowflake, founded in 2012, is a public company that builds the AI Data Cloud - a platform enabling organisations to store, analyse, and share data across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The system is designed to break down data silos and reduce the infrastructure complexity that data teams face when working across multiple cloud environments. Thousands of customers use the platform today.
The company operates in the technical domains of data engineering, data analytics, machine learning, and cloud computing. Its founding team came from the data world themselves, and the organisation maintains a builder-oriented culture focused on continuously improving the platform. A stated aim is to make workflows less painful for data engineers, data scientists, and business analysts.
Snowflake is publicly traded and has no single geographic headquarters, with its cloud-native platform serving customers globally through the major public cloud providers.
