Dataiku prepares for an exit. This is not news; Forbes covered their IPO plans two years ago. Besides, every startup constantly preps for an exit unless it wants to join the Living Dead. Even though Dataiku does not appear on lists of top IPOs to expect, there are signs that the company will exit sooner rather than later. Wellington Management was the sole
Good stuff. I hope they do well. I’ve always admired DSS and its ability to push down. When u writing a DataRobot article? We need a fresh take now the dust has settled.
Well written! I may have a new second favorite Substack data columnist (after Benn Stancil of course 🙂). A few nits. Are you equating lower-IQ with not knowing or caring about Python, K8S or LangChain? If so you need to get out more. There are talented people at Schlumberger (and SLB), DigiKey, FSRA, Maersk, and MercadoLibre who can’t even spell K8S. Secondly, is downloading to Excel bad? Studies have shown that most non-trivial workbooks have bugs, let alone version control and governance challenges, so isn’t it better to do as much data product development as possible in something else, like Dataiku? https://www.marketwatch.com/story/88-of-spreadsheets-have-errors-2013-04-17
As always, well thought out and entertaining! Can't wait for the IPO or whatever is next though, gotta put those kids through college.

Not sure. Since I still own my DR equity, it may not be fair for me to write about the company. Will think about it. Have a great Data + AI Summit!
Keep 'em coming! No other writers make me LOL as much while learning new job-related things, love it.
keep the articles coming.
Well said, Thomas. Glad to have found your Substack. I will be promoting it on LinkedIn.
Many thanks!

Do you take requests? Alteryx and PowerBI?
Thanks for reading.
(1) "Are you equating lower-IQ with not knowing or caring about Python, K8S or LangChain?"
It's a joke.
(2) "is downloading to Excel bad? etc."
It's a joke. The point is there are a lot of business users who don't need advanced machine learning.
(3) "Do you take requests? Alteryx and PowerBI?"
More likely to look at AYX than Power BI. Neither is high priority, but reader interest matters.
