Ajay Kulkarni, co-founder and CEO of Tiger Data (formerly Timescale), sat down with Adam Stacoviak to trace the full arc: enterprise roots, building Timescale, the rebrand, and what happens when founder values quietly become company culture without anyone planning it.
The technical core of this conversation is Agentic Postgres. Not a demo, not a roadmap item. Kulkarni breaks down what it actually means to embed agents inside a database, how fast the path from idea to shipped product has compressed, and why the API, CLI, MCP, and Skills movement is changing what it means to talk to your data. The tiger-cli repo on GitHub is live and worth pulling up while you listen.
Read the full transcript or queue the episode for the moment Kulkarni gets specific about the architecture decisions behind agentic queries. The rebrand story and the candid founder-values discussion are worth the full runtime on their own.
