Hi
I’m here to lobby for Logical Clocks AB inclusion on the list. They are the vendor of the Enterprise Hops platform – the only vendor with a managed data science platform that scales to hundreds of GPUs at the backend:

An easy fix would be to replace us with Turi from your list (Danny is a good friend), as they were acquired by Apple in August 2016.
Hello Jim,
Thanks for this tip about Logical Clocks AB. The company is not current in our data set, but we’ll research into the firm!
Daniel
How did Turi make it on the list? In future versions of this list will you include more information on the logic in the ranking? Turi on this list doesn’t make sense to me as Apple owns all of their relevant tools and graphlab is pretty long in the tooth.
Dear Anan,
Thanks for your note! You’re correct, Turi should have been cut before going to press as the Seattle based ML and AI scalable solutions startup had a major exit with an acquisition by Apple. Here is a summary of the event:

At the time, GraphLab turned Dato turned Turi (named for Alan Turing) was a high-flyer having been led by a Univ. Washington professor and having received plenty of venture funding.
Surprised to not see Talend on that list. With their native code generation for spark both on-premise and in the cloud I would have thought they would be up there.
Hi, are you familiar with Sparkbeyond http://www.sparkbeyond.com/
I will appreciate your thoughts about the company
Eitan, thank you for your note. SparkBeyond looks like a very compelling company. It was not in our industry database, but it is now!
