Keebo
Keebo is an AI company that autonomously lowers the cost of running cloud data warehouses on Snowflake and Databricks. Its patented Data Learning technology continuously monitors production workloads and applies real-time tuning - warehouse rightsizing, query routing and auto-scaling - while guarding performance with multi-layer SLAs. Customers report average verified savings around 27%, with some cutting Snowflake bills by 50% or more, and pricing is success-based so fees track the savings delivered.
Eric Shoemaker
Eric Shoemaker is the Chief Executive Officer of Keebo, a startup that uses patented Data Learning algorithms to autonomously optimize cloud data warehouse workloads on Snowflake and Databricks. Appointed CEO in March 2026, he brings a long track record of scaling enterprise SaaS companies through growth and acquisition, including growing CloudHealth from zero to roughly $100 million in ARR and serving as Chief Revenue Officer at Device42 before its $230 million sale to Freshworks. He is a go-to-market and revenue operator focused on turning cloud data cost reduction into measurable business impact for enterprise customers.
Espresso AI
Espresso AI is a New York-based startup that uses large language models and machine learning to automatically cut cloud data-warehouse bills. Founded in 2023 by three former Googlers, it markets a 'neural optimizer' - a set of AI agents that autoscale, schedule and rewrite SQL on platforms like Snowflake and Databricks, promising up to ~70% cost savings without changing query results. The company emerged from stealth in May 2024 with $11M in seed funding from Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross and FirstMark.
Ben Lerner
Ben Lerner is the co-founder and CEO of Espresso AI, a New York startup building what it calls the first neural compute optimizer - software that uses large language models to rewrite SQL and reallocate compute so companies cut their Snowflake and Databricks bills by up to 70%. A former Google and DeepMind engineer who worked on search, storage infrastructure, and early code-LLM research, Lerner left Big Tech to merge the two halves of his career - machine learning and systems performance - into a single product. Espresso launched from stealth in May 2024 with over $11 million in seed funding from Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, and FirstMark's Matt Turck.
