CEO at http://eventual.ai Building @daftengine: Distributed query engine providing simple and reliable data processing for any modality and scale
Today we're announcing that Eventual has raised $30M in Seed and Series A funding from @CRV and @felicis as well as @ycombinator, @M12vc and @Citi and others. The AI era needs data infrastructure built for AI, not retrofitted. 🧵
You can’t build generational tech by duct-taping legacy systems. @Sammy_Sidhu of Eventual shares why working with CRV means building from the foundation up—with developers in mind.
Tired of fighting Spark to process images and videos? Eventual has a solution for you! They are already helping amazing customers & now with fresh capital they can help you! Thank you @Sammy_Sidhu @JayChia5 for letting me join your ride & squat in your offices! 🙃…

🏅 CSV Benchmark Results: 🥇 #DuckDB – blazing fast, sets the gold standard 🥈 #Daft – surprisingly solid, great performance 🥉 #CHDB – fast, as long as the data fit in memory ⚙️ #Polars, #PyArrow, #Pandas , #DataFusion disqualified 😢😢 #onelake #Python #delta_rs

🦀 Hudi-rs 0.4.0 is released! Another step towards standardizing @apachehudi APIs across broad ecosystem integrations using #rustlang #Python #cpp ! 🚢 github.com/apache/hudi-rs…
Actually crazy. Went through our emails and yes we interviewed him back in 2022 for our first hire at Eventual. Did not make it past our bar, but I remember him being decent. Seems there's a pattern also of him approaching open-source companies.
PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware. I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.
Another huge milestone achieved this week - Daft has surpassed 3000 stars! Thank you to our growing community for continuing to support us and sharing the love of Daft. And thank you to everyone who is using Daft and believing in the future that we're building. Be apart of this…
Congratulations @Sammy_Sidhu! I agree it’s time to rethink a lot of data infrastructure.

Congratulations to the team at @daftengine! The future is multimodal. Engineering teams need something new to make sure their data doesn't just play nicely together, but really performs. Well-said!

AI is multimodal, and Spark & Snowflake can’t keep up. Eventual’s @Daftengine makes querying petabytes as easy as SQL. Already used by Amazon, Together AI, & more. Excited to lead their Series A at @Felicis and work with @sammy_sidhu & @JayChia5 felicis.com/insight/invest…
Also thrilled to be partnering with you and @brianzhan1!
We @CRV are incredibly excited to announce our investments in two companies paving the way for the multimodal data stack! We are thrilled to partner with @daftengine and @lancedb as they revolutionize the way that multimodal data is processed and stored in the AI era.
Excited to be on this Journey with you at @felicis! Thank you for believing in @JayChia5 and me!
Multimodal is the new default for AI, and legacy infrastructure can’t handle it. Eventual built @DaftEngine to redefine how we process video, audio, and images at scale. We’re proud to lead their Series A and work with @sammy_sidhu and @JayChia5. 👉 felicis.com/insight/invest…
Congrats to the Eventual (@daftengine) team on their $20M Series A! Eventual makes processing images, video & audio as easy as SQL. Their platform helps AI companies handle petabytes of multimodal data. techcrunch.com/2025/06/24/how…
