Unlock Opportunities In The Data Warehouse and Redefine Backend Economics With MinusOneDB
June 17, 2025 • 21 MIN
What if you could eliminate 90% of your query compute costs and ship production-grade infrastructure that scales in weeks, without hiring a single backend engineer? In this episode of Finding Future Fit, host Heidi Hysell sits down with William Wechtenhiser and Israel Mirsky, the founding team behind MinusOneDB, to explore a physics-defying reimagination of backend infrastructure. This isn’t just about shaving costs or speeding up queries; it’s a platform-level rethink of how startups scale, fund, and iterate in real time. Whether you're a seed-stage founder duct-taping a backend in Postgres or a venture partner looking to future-proof your portfolio, this conversation digs into how new infrastructure primitives can unlock entirely new business models.
