Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi recounts the company's origin: all seven co-founders met at UC Berkeley, starting in a Soda Hall room before moving to a small Addison Street office and eventually San Francisco — two co-founders remain on Berkeley's faculty.
The company announced Databricks Field at California Memorial Stadium, its first collegiate athletics sponsorship, framed as an investment in the next generation of builders on the campus that shaped the company.
