Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Exostellar was co-founded by a trio of computer scientists out of Cornell University who identified that, as enterprises migrate to the cloud, they also create great operational inefficiencies which lead to overspending.
In response, the company offers a platform which leverages patented software and AI and Machine Learning to enable enterprises to increase the amount of computing they can use, while optimizing operational security and computing performance, in turn reducing their costs by as much as 90%.
Considering that co-founder Hakim Weatherspoon’s research has seen him credited as a leader in cloud storage foundation, as well as the fact that its Cornell-developed tech is patent-protected, Exostellar has been quick to gain respect since launching in 2019.
VC funding has also been forthcoming for the startup, which is being used to ramp up its brand awareness efforts and gain more high-profile customers, especially crucial in the wake of its renaming from Exotanium to Exostellar in March 2023.
