Overview

Cockroach Labs, based in New York City, is the maker of CockroachDB which is an open source, distributed relational database. The database is strongly consistent, survivable, and scalable – therefore the name. It unifies the horizontal scalability of NoSQL products with the rich features of SQL, and offers enterprise-level disaster recovery. The company was launched in 2015 with the goal of making data easy.

Cockroach Labs is guided by a squad of ex-Google engineers who have vast experience in the database segment. The firm is backed by numerous blue-chip investors including Sequoia, Redpoint, Index Ventures, and Benchmark GV.
