Who's bulldozin' their way to the data scene? It's Dozer! This startup just raised a $3M seed to make it easy for companies to create APIs that can process data from multiple sources in real time.

• After testing with select partners, they've come out of stealth for any developer to access!
  

Investor check. Sequoia Capital India and Southeast Asia's Surge led the round. Google's Gradient Ventures and January Capital also joined in!

🔢 Data's in the details

We can now easily collect, store, manage and secure data with lots of tools. But what hasn't been solved? How to fully unlock the value of all that data businesses are getting! And with more companies digitizing and collecting data, this is more important than ever.

• Unlocking this data (especially in real-time) can help businesses improve their services and build even better products, especially to drive revenue.

😮 Why it matters

It's expensive, complex, difficult and takes lots of time to maintain, collect and combine all the data for real-time use. You'll need a large tea of engineers and data scientists to do it!

• This is called "stream data processing" and is a huge problem for consumer-facing products that need tons of data from multiple sources in real-time — think ride-hailing products like Grab .
• They need to process all this data in real time. They can't wait for days or weeks to process them in batches, which other companies do.
  

‍

✅ How it works

They offer a plug-and-play infrastructure backend that allows engineers to connect with any data sources, combine them and create real-time APIs for their apps. And yes, it can all be done in just minutes!

• It connects with many databases like Postgres and MySQL, data warehouses like Snowflake and even the Ethereum blockchain ledger.
• Not making any sacrifices. The APIs are also fast, powerful, read-only and low-latency! Oh, and Dozer's semi-open source.

💰 What's with the $$$?

They'll grow their product and engineering teams, expand their developer relations activities and launch their cloud service!
