On a mission to deliver the world’s data, Astronomer created Apache Airflow™, an open-source workflow management tool which has revolutionized data pipeline management and is downloaded over 12 million times per month. Founded in 2018, Astronomer is a global remote-first company with teams around the world and customers in 35 countries.

Why we’re excited about their technology/how they plan to disrupt the market

Astronomer powers the hugely popular Apache Airflow via its contributions and stewardship of the highly popular open source project and innovates via its commercial Astro platform, a groundbreaking modern data orchestration platform.

What our funding allowed them to do

Grand Ventures was among the first investors in Astronomer and played an integral role in allowing Astronomer to go “all-in” on Apache Airflow.
