Waterline Data Science is an early-stage Big Data software company, founded in December 2013, backed by Menlo Ventures and Sigma West. The inspiration for the name 'Waterline' came from the metaphor of the Big Data Lake. Waterline solves the challenges of data self-service for the Hadoop data lake. It's easy to get data into Hadoop, but it's not easy to get it out in a self-service manner and derive business value from it. The idea behind Waterline is that data self-service for Hadoop should be like finding the data you need easily, without having to dive for it -- you should be able to Hadoop 'above the waterline.'
