Pros

Arjun will cringe reading this, but the company really is a unicorn (Luke's words, not mine). ;) Materialize was founded in January 2019 and within a few months raised an $8.5M series A led by Lightspeed Venture. Since then, they've gone from a team of 5 to 10 within a matter of 2.5 months. That in itself isn't as impressive as the calibre of talent they've recruited. Their hiring bar is high and they hold themselves accountable to building a very strong and inclusive team from a wide variety of experiences and backgrounds. I would definitely keep an eye on this company - it's not often you come across tech startups like this anymore.

Cons

They're a small startup and nothing is guaranteed, so you do need to have a level of comfort with the unknown. That being said, though, if I had to bet, I'd put my money on them. I've worked with several startups and this one is a rare gem.

Cons

-Still in the process of rounding out the rough edges in terms of process & operations, but making quick progress -The database world is crowded & complex, as a result it takes an organization in this industry a bit longer to forge their path

Pros

Incredible technology, great colleagues, interesting work

Cons

New management running the VC-backed playbook, joining the herd of other (failed) startups reducing headcount, chasing AI dollars, and shifting strategy
