Who is Databloom?

We are a software company that is building the future of data processing with AI. Our flagship product, Blossom Sky, enables decentralized data processing on the edge, allowing data scientists and analysts to train large AI models directly at the source. Blossom Sky leverages Apache Wayang, an open source API for cross-platform data processing that we are actively contributing to. With Blossom Sky, users can run data models and ML training against a variety of decentralized data sources ranging in size from gigabytes to petabytes, while ensuring data privacy and compliance.
2020
In 2021, Jorge and Alexander teamed up to create a startup that would bring Jorge’s research to market. Their goal was to develop the most comprehensive federated learning platform by bootstrapping their research and development efforts. After leaving stealth mode, they donated their project  to the Apache Software Foundation. The foundation accepted it as Apache Wayang (incubating).
2022
Databloom was founded, established operations in Miami, and pioneered 100% remote work in addition to 4 full workdays every week. Out of more than 4,000 looked at startups, Databloom placed in the Top 50 at the famous Pepperdine "Most Fundable Companies" competition. Databloom was highlighted in several international conferences.
2023
Databloom has been selected for the MARL 5G accelerator spring cohort. This program gives mentorship, training and access to deep tech investors, corporates and public institutions to selected startups. Databloom also received its first external investment from MARL 5G. The investment will help Databloom grow its product development and customer acquisition efforts.

The whole story

Alexander had first touch points with Jorge back in 2012 at his time at Cloudera. The research papers, written by Jorge and others in his team at QRCI and HPI, lead to the research of distributed in-memory query engines, and finally to the first in-memory query engine for Apache Hadoop.
Jorge started to investigate the topic of Federated Data Processing and distributed AI in 2015. The team around Jorge developed Rheem in 2016, and presented the software stack at the Spark Summit 2017, followed by multiple conferences.
Alexander met Jorge again 2019 during his visit in Qatar, where he was guest of the Qatar Technology Foundation. After the first meeting with Jorge both realized the huge potential and agreed to found a company to bring this technology to market. From that point on they bootstrapped the further development to build the most complete federated data processing engine.
DataBloom AI, Inc. was finally founded in 2022 in Miami to deal with the increased interest around the Bay Area, Florida and Texas.

Members of our team are frequent speakers at large conventions and meetups, like newWork summit, SXSW, Big Data World, Apache Con, BOSS, Developer Week, etc.
