The $74 billion data company Snowflake is rolling out new products this week, including a data-sharing “marketplace” that will provide an alternative to the “advertising world obviously totally dominated by Google and Facebook,” CEO Frank Slootman said on Monday.
The expanded Snowflake Data Marketplace is being announced Tuesday at the company’s virtual Data Summit, along with new products for developers and companies looking to build programs and campaigns around Snowflake’s tools for storing vast amounts of corporate data.
