Congrats to Riverside Ventures new portfolio company Pliable on coming out of stealth and announcing their seed round! Excited to have backed Jason Raede & Kait Rikkers Slattery! Pliable is building a no-code data platform that allows anyone – not just companies that can afford data engineers and complicated technology – to organize and use their data to measure and optimize their business. Data tools in the market were created by data people, for other data people, to solve problems they only experience while trying to build custom, over-engineered data platforms. Other “no-code analytics” tools provide limited, basic insights at the expense of flexibility. Pliable is ushering in a new era of data management by taking a different approach and building a solution for the operators and analysts neglected by modern data tools. https://lnkd.in/eibtpaNj

I'm really bullish on the future of DuckDB. Friends who managed data analytics solution offerings told me that most of their customers (95%+) didn't have more than 100GB in their analytics engine. However, that little data they had was analyzed over and over. Getting results quickly was key! So, why am I bullish on DuckDB? The reason is simple. DuckDB is a serverless, in-process OLAP database management system that's really fast. With many machines offering more than 100GB of RAM, the majority of analytics use cases can be tackled on a **single** machine. Think about that! And the market seems to agree with me. MotherDuck, a company offering serverless data analytics with DuckDB, has just raised USD 100M in their Series B. While many startups struggle to get cash, investors opened up their purses big time for a company that is centered around DuckDB. And, last but not least: Xebia's very own Diederik Greveling and Cor Zuurmond are already out there sharing knowledge on how to leverage DuckDB and Motherduck to simplify the overall data landscape & decrease the cost of data processing while making data even more accessible (impression of their talk at the Big Data Expo in the video!) Bonus: if you are starting or starting out with DuckDB, check out https://harlequin.sh/ the DuckDB IDE for your terminal!

Hot off the press! Say hello to Euno ✨ In 2023, I founded my own data startup with Eyal Firstenberg. We chose to solve a challenge every data team feels in their bones. Now we're officially out of stealth mode and announcing our $6.25M seed round! → What’s Euno about? Modern organizations face a significant challenge: balancing the autonomy of business analysts with the governance of consistent data models. And as organizations scale their data operation, this trade-off becomes increasingly complex. Euno bridges this gap, offering frictionless data model governance for data teams. Our platform integrates with popular BI tools like Looker and Tableau, and uses powerful automations to detect, map, and sync data model changes at scale. At the heart of Euno’s capabilities is its seamless integration with dbt Labs, the open-source industry standard for data model implementation. Euno enables data teams to easily feed new business logic, originating from the analysts native environments, into dbt™️.  But more than a technological advancement; Euno embodies a new mindset in data modeling, one in which business analysts can innovate freely and data teams can collaborate together with the business to build, govern, and evolve data models. This synergy leads to faster, more reliable, and more innovative data products, setting a dbt-first standard for data model governance. → A heartfelt thanks goes out to: All our investors who've placed their trust in our vision: 10D , INT3, and an outstanding lineup of angel investors, including: Yoni Broyde, Matthaus Krzykowski, Barr Moses and Lior Gavish. Not to mention, our advisory board is shaping up to be quite exceptional, featuring experts like Mark T. Nelson and Tatsiana Maskalevich! And to my eunotastic team, I couldn’t have done it without you: Dana Benbassat Gil Herrmann Dotan Schreiber Guy Gutman Lior Hammer Neta Goldstein Ben Frankforter Itay Rosen Marin Sakhri Raz Widrich 💜 Euno is just getting started.

We’re honored to have Ron Miller at TechCrunch cover our funding news! We are thrilled to announce that we have raised a $3.3M Seed round led by Charley Ma and Mahdi R. from Exponent Founders Capital with participation from Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Sancus Ventures, and Banana Capital. We’re also so grateful to our many angel investors including Benn Stancil, Lenny Rachitsky, Terrence Rohan, and Arash Ferdowsi. In early 2023, Robin Tang and I launched Artie with a vision to revolutionize how companies transfer data. Our mission is to make database replication real-time, reliable, and cost effective. Reliable streaming architecture is complicated to set up and manage day to day, which means most companies cannot leverage the benefits of change data capture (CDC) and streaming. We encapsulate all the complexity so that a one person data team can set up Artie in minutes and help the company leverage real-time data for analytics and operational use cases. If your company has been thinking about standing up CDC/streaming architecture or you’re interested in learning more about how CDC-based replication could benefit your organization, please reach out. I’d love to chat. https://lnkd.in/gmRkXpRF
