Databricks

Databricks appears in Founder Mode: Kashish Gupta, Founder and co-CEO of Hightouch as another enterprise data system that Hightouch customers used as a source for marketing and sales workflows. Kashish Gupta groups it with Snowflake when explaining the gap between having customer data and actually using that data in production go-to-market systems.

The source makes Databricks part of the Enterprise Data Activation branch. For Hightouch, the enterprise opportunity was not to replace the customer’s database but to connect governed data from that database into operational marketing tools without taking data ownership away from the customer.
