Kashish Gupta (former investor at Bessemer Venture Partners), Tejas Manohar and Josh Curl (both former software engineers at Segment) have built Hightouch to democratize reverse ETL for all business teams by syncing their tools to the data warehouse.

In reality, however, business teams heavily rely on their engineering organizations to build and maintain these reverse ETL pipelines, which decreases the latter's productivity and ability to focus on developing the firm's core technology. The latter technology enables businesses to operate from a single, centralized source of truth, and the former enables that truth (read: data) to be used by everyone, ideally.

The dramatic rise of reverse 'extract, transfer, and load' (ETL) has trailed the exponential growth of customer data warehouse usage by businesses of all sizes.
