Once upon a time, this was a good place to make money. The shift to try to be a SaaS product when most sales were coming from on-prem/hybrid use cases ended up killing the momentum, and after continuous layoffs/reductions of headcount, the quotas haven't changed, and are completely unattainable for 90% of people. The focus is almost entirely on outbound lead generation, and they won't share the OSS Trino user base.

The product is strong but requires more focused differentiation. Management has undervalued customer time to value as a success marker and historically under invested in the solution architect role.

Great potential company if they can figure out Product Market fit and how to market against DataBricks and Snowflake. Very little Open Source long tail behind their product making it difficult
