About us
We are building a platform to power the flow of data globally. It might sound ambitious, but we are well on our way to accomplishing this mission!
Crux is transforming how companies work with data. Data discovery, ingestion, and operations have been expensive, time-consuming, and frustrating for data teams looking to harness large quantities of data for years. We are solving this challenge by enabling enterprises with tools and operations services that facilitate the onboarding and delivery of any dataset to end customers how and where they want it. In our lingo, we’re ushering in the third generation of ETL with enterprise data mesh capabilities.
We are a fast-growing technology company with a strong culture of learning, excellence, teamwork, and ownership. Founded in 2017 by a seasoned team of data professionals, Crux is growing and is backed by industry powerhouses, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Two Sigma.
