The company has raised a $5 million in venture capital thus far from�First Round Capital, IA Ventures, NEA, SV Angel, Y Combinator, Paul�Buchheit, Ashton Kutcher, Max Levchin and Aaron Levie.
As its name implies, MemSQL achieves its fast performance in part by keeping data in memory, but it doesn’t use memcached like Faceboo[...]
