Scaling a business - the road to the largest software IPO - Marcin Żukowski, Snowflake #12 (PL)

The guest of the 12th episode of the Inovo Podcast is Marcin Żukowski, Co-Founder of Snowflake.
SNOWFLAKE is a cloud computing data warehousing company. It allows corporate users to store and analyze data using cloud-based hardware and software, generally termed as "data warehouse-as-a-service". The company was founded in 2012 by three data warehousing experts: Benoit Dageville, Thierry Cruanes and Marcin Żukowski. Almost from the beginning it is backed by Sutter Hill Ventures (other VCs joined along the way). In 2018 the company became a unicorn. And on September 16, 2020, Snowflake became a public company via an initial public offering raising $3.4 billion, making it the largest software IPO in history.

Tomasz Swieboda, a Partner at Inovo, sat down with Marcin to discuss: his experience in joining Snowflake as a Co-Founder, how it all happened, how they scaled from a small team to the largest software IPO in history, and how he perceives cooperation with VCs funds.
