Hasura Turned a Failed Food App Into the API Layer Developers Actually Wanted
The food-delivery business was a logistical headache. The backend tool built to launch it fast became the real company - and a lesson in finding the valuable machine hiding inside your first idea.
Zetaris
Zetaris is an Australian enterprise data company building an open, agentic data lakehouse that lets organizations query and prepare data across many disparate sources without moving or copying it. Founded in 2013 in Melbourne by Vinay Samuel and Jason Jaesung Jun, the platform uses federated, in-place querying with intelligent multi-engine routing (Spark, Trino, Presto, DuckDB) and a unified semantic layer to feed private, governed AI workloads. It positions itself as a control plane for enterprise AI rather than another business-intelligence tool.
