Astronomer is a private data infrastructure startup that achieved "unicorn" status in 2022 with a $1 billion or more valuation.

Kristin was seen in an unexpected Jumbotron moment at a Coldplay concert in the arms of her boss, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, in July 2025.

Astronomer has addressed the Coldplay concert scandal involving CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot. The company confirmed a formal investigation. Both Byron and Cabot have been placed on leave as discussions about Byron's resignation continue.
