We talk with Michel Tricot, who is the Founder and CEO of Airbyte, which is an open source data integration Y Combinator startup. It has raised over $30M in capital and has been growing quite fast. It was a great conversation and I think you will also enjoy it. 🎉 We cover lots of things in the podcast including:  1. Technical aspects of what Airbyte does, how it sits in the ETL/ ELT landscape, how it differs from other tools such as Fivetran, Stich etc.  2. Data Warehouses being a canonical source of data and how Airbyte helps with bringing the data into the warehouse.  3. How Airbyte works as an open source data tool.  4. Life aspects of running a fast growing start-up including raising capital, hiring etc.  Links to the tools/ services mentioned:  1. Airbyte: airbyte.io 2.
