Alation
Alation is a Redwood City-based enterprise software company that built one of the first modern data catalogs by pairing machine learning with human curation. Its Data Intelligence Platform helps large organizations find, trust, and govern their data, and it has since pivoted toward an agentic AI platform that uses autonomous agents to automate data discovery, governance, and quality. The company serves roughly 450 enterprise customers, including more than a quarter of the Fortune 100, and has raised about $340 million at a valuation north of $1.7 billion.
Atlan
Atlan is a data and AI control plane - a metadata-driven workspace that helps data teams catalog, govern, and collaborate across the modern data stack. Built like Figma for data, it sits between tools like Snowflake, Databricks, dbt and BI dashboards to give companies a single source of truth for what their data means, who owns it, and whether it can be trusted by humans or AI agents.
