<!channel> We’ve got some big news that we’ve been itching to share for a little while now: meltano Meltano is now officially an independent startup! We’ve spun out of GitLab and raised a $4.2M Seed round led by GV to bring the entire data lifecycle into the DataOps era, starting with data integration! 🎉 Join us now on YouTube or Zoom for a special #office-hours with a Q&A and opportunity to Meet the Team, and check out the announcement blog post and press release to learn more! We’re excited about this for many reasons: • It’s a huge validation of our current focus on the Singer ecosystem and larger open-source data space, but it also validates our vision for what the future of Meltano and DataOps can be. • It’s going to enable us to grow the team and accelerate the development of Meltano, MeltanoHub, and the Meltano SDK. We’ve done a lot with just 3 people, so imagine what we can do with even more! • All of this means the Singer ecosystem will see dramatic benefits as well. With this funding we aim to be the leader the Singer ecosystem and community need and deserve to further establish it as the de-facto standard for open source data connectors singer logo Speaking of growing the team, we’re excited to announce 5 people who are joining the Meltano team, 2 who started this week and 3 in the coming weeks: • @narrow-toddler-49493 has joined as the Director of Marketing • @damp-france-47472 has joined as Developer Relations Manager • @modern-activity-11759 is joining as a Senior Backend Engineer • @wonderful-waiter-73669 is joining as a Staff Backend Engineer • @straight-night-17509 is joining as a Backend Engineer • And we have several job openings as well! Thank you all in the Meltano and Singer communities for being a part of this journey with us as we build the next generation of data tooling together! meltano 🚀
