Over 90 leading VCs and corporate development leaders selected the #ET30, recognizing the top private companies shaping enterprise technology and transforming the future of work. Thank you Wing Venture Capital and Eric Newcomer for this honor. https://lnkd.in/gM_cfBWY
Congrats on the recognition — well earned from what I've seen in production. What's interesting from 9000+ hours building on top of data infrastructure like Databricks: the bottleneck almost never ends up being the platform itself. It's the organizational readiness to actually operationalize the outputs. The tooling is ahead of most teams' capacity to absorb it. Curious — do you see enterprises buying Databricks because they have a clear data strategy, or is the platform becoming the strategy itself by default?
Congratulations 🎊 👏
Congratulations Databricks
Congrats on the recognition — well deserved from what I've seen in the field. What's interesting from 9000+ hours building production AI systems: the companies actually transforming enterprise work aren't winning on models or compute anymore. They're winning on data infrastructure — knowing *what* data to expose to AI, and what to keep isolated. Databricks sitting at #2 makes sense in that context. The real unlock isn't the AI layer, it's the governance layer underneath it. Curious though — do you think the Giga Stage companies are building platforms others automate on top of, or are they quietly becoming the automators themselves?
