Bridging the silos of cloud data sources, on-premises data sources, databases and files as one single data platform, reduce business overhead costs and refine your big data workflow.
Howard Chi
Founder & CEO, Canner Data
What are your dreams and aspirations for the company going forward?
Many enterprises in Taiwan are struggling to keep up with the global competition. We want to help these companies build essential data infrastructures that support their business vision.
What keeps you awake at night?
Strategic questions like ‘am I in the right direction?’ and ‘can I do it more efficiently?’ keep me up at night. These are critical questions that founders need to continuously ask ourselves, so we continue to grow and thrive.
What is your motivation that keeps you going every day?
I love working with people. There are so many great talents here in Taiwan and I believe that as a team, we can achieve big things.
What is your strategy when things don't turn out the way you expect?
As the saying goes, the only way out is through. I think it is important to never give up, and to constantly improve. If things aren’t as we expected, think about how we can get through it.

Who is your role model, or which public personalities have you been inspired by in your startup journey?
Stephen Hawking for his sense of humor, intelligence, and passion for his work and NBA Star, Derick Rose, for his determination.
What are your dreams and aspirations for the company going forward?
My dream is for Canner to be like Snowflake or Databricks, playing an important role in the architecture of many companies.
What is your strategy when things don't turn out the way you expect?
I often find it helpful to talk to people, either those with experience or just outsiders. They often give you advice from different perspectives.
