ASTRONOMER, INC.

Astronomer is a software company specializing in DataOps solutions, empowering data teams to build, manage, and scale mission-critical analytics, AI, and data-driven applications. The company is the commercial steward of Apache Airflow, a widely used open-source tool for data orchestration. Headquartered in New York, NY, Astronomer relocated its main office from Cincinnati in early 2024 to support its growing business and customer base.

Astronomer's flagship product is Astro, a managed Apache Airflow service that enables customers to build, run, and observe data pipelines. Astro provides automated scaling, high availability, and integrated CI/CD for data pipelines, abstracting the operational overhead of managing Airflow. The company also offers Astro Observe for comprehensive data observability and lineage, along with other tools like Cosmos. Astronomer serves a diverse range of enterprise customers across various industries, including gaming, retail, and financial services, with notable clients such as Activision, Electronic Arts, Foot Locker, T.Rowe Price, Autodesk, Adobe, Sonos, Marriott, and Condé Nast.

In May 2025, Astronomer secured $93 million in Series D funding. The company achieved "unicorn" status in 2022 with a valuation exceeding $1 billion, though it was valued at approximately $740 million after its Series D round. In July 2025, CEO Andy Byron resigned, and co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy was appointed interim CEO. Recent strategic developments include a collaboration with Microsoft Azure in November 2023 and a strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in July 2025. Astronomer continues to expand its leadership, announcing Matt Simontacchi as President of Field Operations in April 2026 and Chris Lynch as Chief Financial Officer in February 2026.
