About Bobsled
Our goal at Bobsled is to transform the way data is shared across organizations, clouds, and data platforms.

By solving these problems we will:
- Remove barriers to collaboration between organizations
- Facilitate and democratize the use of data to enable better decision making
We believe that by using data collaboratively, we can enable better solutions to the world’s hardest problems.
