Imply is a computer software company founded by the creators of Druid, that aims to help organizations with exploratory data analysis using Druid.
Imply's co-founders previously worked together on Druid as early stage employees of Metamarkets, a San Francisco-based data startup. Imply's co-founders are: Fangjin Yang (one of the original co-authors of Druid), Gian Merlino, and Vadim Ogievetsky, who was involved in the development of D3.js
In 2011, the Druid project was started at Metamarkets to power an analytics product. Druid was open sourced in October 2012 under the GPL license. Over time, notable organizations including Netflix and Yahoo adopted the project into their technology stacks. The increased adoption led Metamarkets to change the license of the project to Apache. With the growing popularity of the open source project, the creators of the project at Metamarkets decided to form Imply. In October 2015, Imply announced that it had raised $2 million from Khosla Ventures. The company said it would contribute to Druid.
