MongoDB

MongoDB, Inc. develops a document-oriented database platform designed as an alternative to traditional relational databases. The company was founded in 2007 by Dwight Merriman, Eliot Horowitz, and Kevin Ryan, originally under the name 10gen, and is headquartered in New York City.

The core product, MongoDB, stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents rather than rigid rows and tables, and is available as self-managed software or through MongoDB Atlas, a fully managed cloud database service running on AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. The company also offers MongoDB Enterprise Advanced and developer tools such as Compass and Realm. Customers span industries including financial services, retail, telecommunications, and technology, with the database widely used for application development, content management, and real-time analytics.

MongoDB raised approximately $311 million in venture funding from investors including Sequoia Capital, Intel Capital, and NEA before going public on the Nasdaq in October 2017 under the ticker MDB. The company has made acquisitions including Compose (2016), mLab (2018), Realm (2019), and search-startup technology to expand Atlas capabilities. It reports revenue primarily driven by Atlas subscription growth and employs several thousand people globally.
