Michael Baum co-founded software analytics company Splunk in 2003, two decades after Steve Jobs brought Mac computers to his college campus.

In 2003, Baum and two friends — Rob Das and Erik Swan — co-founded Splunk, a San Francisco-based company that helps companies monitor and analyze large stores of data. More recently, Splunk developed cybersecurity tools that rely on artificial intelligence to monitor machine-generated data for potential threats., it was valued at roughly $1.6 billion.
