The Compute Collective is a community of builders working in data, AI, and the cloud computing space to network, learn, and get inspired.

Hosted by Saurabh Sharma, a Partner at Jump Capital, the Compute Collective event series invites technology leaders from high-growth data and AI-native startups to share their product journeys with fellow builders and create a space for community-building and comradery.

Alex founded Redpanda in 2019 with the vision to simplify data streaming for the Enterprises.
