ThoughtSpot is a company that makes an Analytical Search Appliance to combine data from on-premise, cloud and desktop data sources and enables enterprise users to access them through a simple search interface. [2] The company offers a hardware appliance that comes loaded with software that can connect to a company’s existing data infrastructure — as well as services like Hadoop — from which it can provide users with search capabilities that will supposedly save the time it takes for employees to gather the data they want. [3]
ThoughtSpot customers include Bed, Bath and Beyond, Batteries + Bulbs, and Nutanix. Companies use ThoughtSpot technology to primarily get business insights faster than traditional SQL based queries. Thoughtspot was founded by Ajeet Singh, who previously co-founded Nutanix, Amit Prakash, and five others. Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO of Box Inc. was one of the early investors of ThoughtSpot. By May 2016, ThoughtSpot had raised $40 million from Lightspeed Venture Partners and Khosla Ventures. Most of ThoughtSpot’s technology were developed by former Google and Yahoo engineers. [4][5]
