We are building a platform to power the flow of data globally. It might sound ambitious, but we are well on accomplishing this mission!
Crux is transforming how companies work with data. For years, data discovery, ingestion, and operations have been expensive, time-consuming, and frustrating for data teams looking to harness large quantities of data.
