Iterative (lakeFS)
Treeverse (lakeFS) brings Git-like version control to data lakes, applying software engineering best practices to data at scale to enable reproducible and reliable AI and data workflows.
Founding Story
Founded by Einat Orr and Oz Katz after experiencing scaling challenges at SimilarWeb. They realized that while code was well-managed with Git, data lacked a similar version control layer, leading to reliability and reproducibility issues in data lakes.
