Barr Moses, Co-Founder & CEO of Monte Carlo: $230 Million Raised to Build the Data Observability Category

In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Barr Moses, Co-Founder & CEO of Monte Carlo, a data observability platform that's raised over $230 Million in funding, about why quickly spotting problems in big commercial data can be the difference between a swift resolution or a costly correction later on. By providing data teams with the tools they need to keep up to date with what’s going on with their data, Monte Carlo gives them a headstart in resolving, and sometimes even preventing dangerous errors before they can cause major problems.
