History
Logical Clocks AB was founded in 2017 in Stockholm, Sweden, emerging from a strong foundation in academia and the open-source community, with connections to former MySQL and Oracle engineers. The company was established to commercialize research and open-source technologies for data and AI infrastructure. Its flagship product, Hopsworks, began as an open-source platform for scalable machine learning and evolved into a comprehensive MLOps platform with a feature store at its core. In 2023, the company raised $6.5 million to support expansion into the United States, and it opened an office in Silicon Valley. By 2024, Logical Clocks had positioned Hopsworks as an AI Lakehouse, integrating NVIDIA NIM for large language models. The company continues to develop its product suite, which includes RonDB (a high-performance key-value store), Maggy (a framework for distributed machine learning experiments on Apache Spark), and HopsFS (a distributed file system). Logical Clocks serves customers across healthcare, finance, automotive, and betting industries, enabling collaboration between data science, data engineering, and ML operations teams.
