BlazingDB Origins, oh and we just raised $2.9M from Nvidia and Samsung
This actually looks pretty useful. I&#x27;m adjacent to you (DL on hadoop&#x2F;spark competing more with the just launched amazon sagemaker among other things) and was curious about your go to market strategy.<p>Like us you&#x27;re kind of strattling the line between the hadoop ecosystem and GPUs. Mesos does this as well.<p>It seems like most folks in the GPU space still don&#x27;t get Hadoop or S3 as a data source yet though (despite it being the dominant source of data warehousing S3 or otherwise).<p>How are you guys coping with this? Have you found a different experience than me?<p>It seems like a lot of the big data companies are at least adding some sort of gpu management as a checkbox now so the spaces will likely converge with or without the MPI crowd.<p>The other trend I&#x27;m seeing is you have folks like MapD and Kinetica trying to run the whole stack themselves. I&#x27;m not sure how well that will go overall (especially given how you can&#x27;t really have <i>everything</i> in 1 warehouse typically). Could you comment on this? Are you going to try this as well after integrating?<p>I hope to see more companies in this space actually exploring this intersection.<p>Many make the mistake of boiling the ocean and doing nothing well though. Due to that  it ends up being consulting. How will you guys over come that? Reworded, what is the initial focus vs the long term strategy?
