Overview

Airbyte is the open-source data integration and ELT platform that makes your data ready for AI. 700+ connectors move data from any source into your warehouse, lake, or database. The same connectors now give AI agents governed access to that data through Airbyte’s MCP server, so your warehouse becomes your agents’ context layer. Run fully managed in Airbyte Cloud, self-host the open-source version, or go hybrid: we manage the control plane, your data never leaves your environment. Trusted by 20% of the Fortune 500 and over 40,000 companies worldwide.

Company history As recorded 2026-11-08

Michel Tricot

Founder/CEO

Co-founder & CEO of Airbyte. I’ve been working in data since 2007. In 2011 I join LiveRamp where I was Head of Integrations and Director of Engineering. My team built and scaled over 1,000 data ingestion and distribution connectors to replicate hundreds of TB of data every day. After LiveRamp’s acquisition and later IPO (NYSE:RAMP), I joined rideOS as Director of Engineering, again deep in data. There, I realized that all companies are trying to solve the same problem. Airbyte was born.
