The data ecosystem has entered a new era — one where enterprises need their data to move not just fast, but right on time. As AI drives a surge in demand for real-time intelligence, dependable and cost-efficient data pipelines are no longer optional; they’re foundational.

That’s why we’re proud to have been early investors in Estuary, and to continue our support as part of the company’s $17 million Series A.

Simplifying How the World Moves Data

Modern data teams are under immense pressure: the rise of AI has dramatically increased both the speed and fidelity expectations for enterprise data systems. Estuary’s mission to simplify how the world moves data is a direct response to that need.

With its right-time data platform, Estuary unifies batch and streaming pipelines so teams can control latency and cost across any workload. The result is dependable, cost-predictable, and AI-ready data movement for enterprises everywhere.

Why This Matters

Estuary’s approach represents a step-change in how businesses prepare and deliver data for analytics and AI:

• Right-time data for AI: Unified batch and streaming ensures fresh, context-rich data for model training and inference.
• Enterprise-grade reliability: Exactly-once semantics, deterministic recovery, and flexible deployment options (SaaS, BYOC, or private plane).
• Future-ready pipelines: Powering analytics and AI workloads with dependable, fresh data at up to 60% lower cost.

A Team Defining the Next Era of Data Infrastructure

From the beginning, co-founders Dave Yaffe and Johnny Graettinger have demonstrated a deep understanding of the technical and operational pain points facing data teams. Their work at Google, YouTube, and LiveRamp shaped the DNA of Estuary — one rooted in scalability, reliability, and developer experience.

We’re thrilled to continue supporting Dave, Johnny, and the entire Estuary team as they build the future of data movement — making pipelines dependable, cost-predictable, and AI-ready for the world’s most ambitious enterprises.
