Tim Draper(@TimDraper):I've always been a spreadsheet geek. I can do most anything with a spreadsheet, but databases eluded me. Then I met George Fraser. He told me he could look at data as a conglomeration of spreadsheets and that those spreadsheets could be alive with streaming data. I was intrigued. I was Fivetran's largest angel investor. Now George has built Fivetran into the standard for companies to access and integrate reliable, dynamic, secure data. The business intelligence Fivetran has provided to thousands of customers is incalculable. George made databases make sense to a spreadsheet geek. The company is now the #1 cloud-based data movement platform.
