About Starburst

At Starburst, we are working to dismantle the status quo of data silos and vendor lock-in every single day.

Our platform includes all the capabilities needed to discover, organize, and consume data without the need for time-consuming and costly migration projects. Today more than 300 leading organizations trust us to make better decisions faster.
