IA40 Spotlight: Starburst CEO Justin Borgman on entrepreneurship, cloud partnerships and enabling intelligent applications

from Founded & Funded · host Madrona Venture Group

This week on Founded and Funded, we spotlight our next IA40 winner – Starburst Data. Managing Director Matt McIlwain talks to co-founder and CEO Justin Borgman about how launching his first company was like getting a Ph.D. in entrepreneurship, and then they dive into the customer problem Justin saw that made him believe the time was right to launch his second — Starburst. The two discuss open-source alignment, why making use of cloud partnerships early, especially cloud marketplaces, can be so beneficial for startups, why Starburst had to change the name of its query engine from Presto to Trino, and Justin's guidance for creating a future-proof architecture.
