Meroxa is Named One of 20 Rising Stars as Part of Forbes' Cloud 100 List

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Meroxa is named one of the 20 Rising Stars as part of the sixth-annual Forbes 2021 Cloud 100 list, the definitive list of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures.

The 20 Rising Stars represent young, high-growth, and category-leading cloud companies who have raised up to $25 million to date and are poised to join the Cloud 100 ranks.

Meroxa is a real-time data Platform as a Service that empowers data teams with the tools they need to build enterprise level data pipelines in minutes not months. By automating the heavy lifting of change data capture, monitoring, and data loading, Meroxa helps companies evolve from data integration to data orchestration and quickly maximize the power of their data.

"Meroxa has changed the game when it comes to empowering data teams with the tools they need to build real-time infrastructure and spend more time focused on impactful projects rather than mundane tasks," says DeVaris Brown, CEO and founder at Meroxa. "We're honored that Forbes, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Salesforce Ventures recognize how our data Platform as a Service unlocks the power of real-time for the entire data-services ecosystem."

"The Rising Stars of today are the Cloud 100 companies of tomorrow," said Byron Deeter, a top cloud investor, and partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. "As they continue to gain momentum and ramp toward unicorn status, many of our past Rising Stars have gone on to become members of the exclusive Cloud 100. As an early partner to many mission-driven founders over the years, we are thrilled to celebrate the bright futures of our 2021 Rising Stars."

"The Rising Stars epitomize the type of innovation that is driving the cloud industry forward," said Alex Kayyal, Managing Partner, Salesforce Ventures. "The companies on this year's list show great potential for reaching the Cloud 100 list in the future and I'm looking forward to watching what they can accomplish next."

"The companies of the Cloud 100 list represent the best and brightest emerging companies in the cloud sector," said Alex Konrad, senior editor at Forbes. "Every year, it gets more difficult to make this list — meaning even more elite company for those who do. Congratulations to each of the 2021 Cloud 100 honorees and to our 20 Rising Stars up-and-comers poised to join their ranks."

The Forbes 2021 Cloud 100 and 20 Rising Stars lists are published online at http://www.forbes.com/cloud100. Highlights of the list appear in the September 2021 issue of Forbes magazine.
