TopCoat Joins Forces With Snyk
Summary
These powerful new analytical tools will enable developers as well as operations and security professionals to better understand and ultimately take action on their organizations vulnerabilities.Within the data ecosystem, TopCoat will shift from vendor to contributor. We owe a tremendous amount to the open source dbt community and we are excited to continue our mission of making analytical applications easier to build. By joining Snyk, were doubling down on this original mission, while also continuing to collaborate with the community we care so deeply about.When Josh and I began working on TopCoat in late 2020, we were in the midst of running a data analytics consultancy. We were thrilled that Kennan, who had been leading so many of our client projects at the consultancy, decided to join us on the TopCoat journey.It was around this same time that we met Shomik at Boldstart Ventures, who led our seed round and has also partnered with Snyk on their growth journey from the very beginning. Matt, Ezra, Shannon, Dave, Gaurav, Meg, and Mehak will all now be joining us as an important part of the talented platform engineering team at Snyk.For me personally, Snyks recognition of the need to invest in an analytical application platform is the primary reason this acquisition made so much sense for Josh and me at this time.
