BlazingDB was founded in June 2015 by the Aramburu brothers, Felipe (CTO) and Rodrigo (CEO). The project started through their consulting firm in Lima, Peru, where they were performing multi-terabyte SQL joins, and nothing could performantly run their queries. They built a GPU table joiner and ran 35-hour queries in 30 seconds, a 4,000x performance improvement. Since then BlazingDB has gone through the Techstars accelerator program in Boulder, were TechCrunch Disrupt SF Battlefield finalists in 2016, and have been working with multiple enterprise data engineering teams building out their next generation of data pipelines.
