At Costanoa, we believe that a new generation of companies will emerge to ease data operations between the data infrastructure layer and downstream data consumers. In order for this emerging ecosystem of technologies to exist, companies will have to be able to answer the question, "How do I know that I can trust my data?" As it turns out, this is a really hard problem related to data quality and observability. Both are foundational issues every data-driven business needs to address.

When Toro appeared on our radar, we were excited because the company's experienced founders Kyle Kirwan and Egor Gryaznov had built a substantial amount of the data infrastructure stack at a company that faced unparalleled data volume and scaling challenges: Uber. They came equipped with a real roadmap for helping companies make data-driven business decisions with confidence, ultimately driving substantial enterprise value. In the near term, we're excited to see Toro build out an incredible team to accelerate their progress on an achievable vision with real-world impact.
