Companies and their data analytics teams have more information to work with than ever before, but how do they know the data flowing through pipelines and across enterprise stacks is reliable? That's a question that led to the birth of the "data observability" niche, and has helped to turn some startups quickly into big companies, such as Databricks, and also pushed fellow "Top Startups" company Monte Carlo to a billion-dollar plus valuation. Founded by two executives who previously worked in customer experience and data security, Monte Carlo helps companies ensure that the increasing flow of data isn't only secure, but is available across an enterprise in real-time, leading to improved customer understanding and prevention of costly mistakes. Monte Carlo customers include companies across many sectors of the economy, from JetBlue to Affirm , Autotrader, Compass , Asics, GoodRx , and Shipt. Investors include some of Silicon Valley's largest VC firms, including Accel, GGV Capital and IVP.

Washington, DC CNN —Tesla’s price for the feature it calls “full self-driving” has increased again. CNN Business spoke with 13 people who have cars with the “full self-driving” beta and the overwhelming majority, 11 people, said they felt it wasn’t worth $15,000. Moody said he expects consumers to pay for the monthly subscription of “full self-driving” rather than pay $15,000 for the promise of the feature’s future potential. Burke spoke with CNN Business during a multi-month road trip around the United States. Burke said that if he was in the market again for a Tesla, the $15,000 price for “full self-driving” would be worth it to him.
