Confluent offers a streaming platform based on Apache Kafka that enables companies to easily access data as real-time streams. Apache Kafka, an open source technology created by the founders of Confluent, is widely adopted for use cases ranging from collecting user activity data, logs, application metrics, stock ticker data, and device instrumentation. Its key strength is its ability to make high volume data available as a real-time stream for consumption in systems with very different requirements—from batch systems like Hadoop to real-time systems that require low-latency access, to stream processing engines that transform the data streams as it arrives. By leveraging the Apache Kafka technology, Confluent Platform lets leaders in industries such as retail, logistics, manufacturing, financial services, technology, and media, move data from isolated systems into a real-time data pipeline where they can act on it immediately.

How to invest in Confluent stock?
Accredited investors can buy pre-IPO stock in companies like Confluent through EquityZen funds. These investments are made available by existing Confluent shareholders who sell their shares on our platform. Typically, these are early employees who need to fund a life event – house, education, etc. Accredited investors are then offered the opportunity to invest in this stock through a fund, like those used by hedge funds serving large investors. While not without risk, investing in private companies can help investors reach goals of portfolio diversification, access to potential growth and high potential return.
