Ruben Burdin is a Swiss-based entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of Stacksync, a data integration platform that provides real-time, bidirectional synchronization between customer relationship management (CRM) systems and databases. Stacksync participated in Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch and is based in San Francisco.[1]
Career
Burdin co-founded Stacksync in July 2022 alongside Alexis Favre, who serves as the company's chief technology officer. The company originated as a spinoff from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. Prior to joining Y Combinator, Burdin was based in Geneva.[2]
Stacksync's core product enables real-time, two-way data synchronization between CRM platforms such as Salesforce, HubSpot, and SAP and databases including PostgreSQL and Google BigQuery. The platform allows users to connect two systems and select the tables they wish to synchronize through a no-code interface. Changes made in a CRM are instantly reflected in the connected database, and vice versa. According to the company, this approach reduces implementation timelines for CRM integration projects from months to minutes, claiming a 90 percent improvement in delivery time and budget compared to traditional methods.[3]
The platform has expanded beyond its original two-way sync functionality to encompass six products under a single platform: two-way sync, workflow automation, electronic data interchange (EDI), event queues, databases, and monitoring. Stacksync positions itself as a replacement for several enterprise tools, including MuleSoft, Fivetran, and Kafka. The company has also actively marketed itself as an alternative to Heroku Connect, which entered maintenance mode, claiming to have migrated over 47 teams from that platform.[4]
Burdin has discussed his work publicly on several podcasts, including The Data Stack Show, where he appeared in May 2025 to discuss the convergence of operational and analytical data, and the Devico Breakfast Bar podcast, where he addressed the challenges of building a reliable sync engine at scale and shared lessons from early-stage enterprise SaaS development.
