Monte Carlo's Mission

Monte Carlo's mission is to accelerate the adoption of data by reducing "data downtime" - periods of time when data is wrong or inaccurate.5 The company provides a data observability platform that combines machine learning-based monitoring of data, code, and infrastructure to ensure data reliability across the data stack.5

Founding and Growth

Barr Moses decided to start Monte Carlo in 2018 after working on three different startup ideas in parallel.3 As she met with potential customers, it became clear that there was significant demand from technical leaders grappling with the consequences of data downtime.3

Today, Monte Carlo has successfully created a new category and established itself as the end-to-end data observability platform for companies like Cisco, Fox, and American Airlines.3 The company raised a seed round and acquired its first customers despite a lackluster initial slide deck.3
