Charting the next frontier in external data integration
In mountaineering, the “crux” refers to the most challenging stage in the ascension to the peak. Overcoming the crux is essential to reaching the summit.
Our mission
We believe that data-driven companies have the power to change the world; external data integration shouldn’t be the obstacle. As external data grows in volume and importance to a companies’ data driven strategies, so too have grown the frustrations associated with working with data at scale.
Crux was founded in 2017 with the sole mission to accelerate data integrations from external sources by removing the data engineering, operations, and wrangling obstacles. Our team brings together data experts, industry veterans, and entrepreneurial builders with a common goal to build technology solutions that eliminate data bottlenecks.
