Snowflake Acquires Data Clean Room Maker Samooha

 

Snowflake has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Samooha to accelerate its vision for removing the technical, collaboration, and financial barriers to unlocking value with data clean rooms.

Samooha is built for developers and business users and delivers industry specific analysis templates. Samooha’s intuitive user interface makes it easy to build data clean rooms that run as Snowflake Native Apps in the Data Cloud. 

Building a data clean room from the ground up can be challenging and require technical expertise and significant investment. By prioritizing ease of use, Samooha dramatically speeds up data clean room set-up and reduces complexity, making the decision to use data clean rooms an easy one. And because Samooha runs directly in the Data Cloud, Samooha leverages the built-in security and governance capabilities of Snowflake, which ensures that customer data is secure and governed. 

With this acquisition, Samooha’s co-founders and data privacy experts — CEO Kamakshi Sivaramakrishnan and CTO Abhishek Bhowmick — will both join the Snowflake team along with other Samooha employees.
