Things continue to advance quickly at Dataiku. Our CEO and co-founder, Florian Douetteau was interviewed by Forbes at the end of last year in an article titled Europe’s Hottest Startups Share Their Winning Strategies.

In addition to Forbes’ description of DSS as a “disruptive B2B platform for predictive analytics” — which is exactly right — the key quote from Florian describes his vision for Dataiku and summarizes what makes the company great:

Take a step back and look at the big picture: what are you trying to solve and why? What exists and who else is trying to solve it. Then, focus on the users. How can you solve that problem for them better than the rest? What aren’t those users getting from your competitors and how can you bring it to them intelligently? For us, that meant enabling our users, no matter their skill set or level of expertise, to collaborate while maintaining the freedom to use the tools and languages they know best.

That sounds about right. I can’t wait to see what 2016 holds for this company.
