About
Hightouch is a San Francisco-based data activation and composable CDP (Customer Data Platform) platform — backed with approximately $220 million in total funding including an $80 million Series C in February 2025 at a $1.2 billion valuation (doubled from $615 million in 2023), with investors including Amplify, ICONIQ Growth, Y Combinator, and Bain Capital Ventures — providing data teams, growth marketers, and RevOps professionals with the reverse ETL infrastructure to sync customer data from Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and Redshift data warehouses to 200+ business tools (Salesforce, Braze, HubSpot, Amplitude, Facebook Ads, Google Ads, Iterable) for marketing personalization, audience targeting, and operational workflow automation. Founded in 2020 by Tejas Manohar and Josh Curl, Hightouch pioneered the 'composable CDP' category — the approach of using the company's existing data warehouse as the customer data foundation rather than copying data into a separate CDP (Segment, mParticle, Lytics).
Claude Code launched February 2025 as Anthropic's agentic coding CLI — the first major AI coding tool to operate autonomously in the terminal without an IDE.
About
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic software engineering tool, launched in February 2025 as a command-line interface that operates directly in developer terminals. Unlike IDE-based coding assistants (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf), Claude Code operates at the shell level — reading and editing files, running tests, committing to Git, and executing long multi-step engineering tasks autonomously. It is built on Claude 3.7 Sonnet's extended thinking capability and is available as an npm package ($0.001–0.015 per token via Anthropic API).
