We're a Sequoia-backed, SaaS technology company based in Liberty Village, Toronto. Our journey over the past few years has seen many ups and downs. From raising three rounds of financing, to building a kick-ass technology platform, we've learned a lot about growing a company and the infrastructure needed to support it. Now it's our turn to give back. We'll be hosting monthly tech talks to help share the things we've learned.

THUG (Toronto Hadoop User Group) is a nonprofit organization uniting people in the GTA area who are interested in Hadoop and all of its related technologies. We hope to create and foster a vibrant community of like minded individuals who are interested in learning together, helping each other succeed with Hadoop technologies and to have some fun in the process. Anyone who is local and has an interest in learning more about big data and Hadoop is invited to join.
