Lightdash (YC S20) has raised $11 million in Series A funding to bring AI to business intelligence. Today, hundreds of companies use Lightdash as their business intelligence platform. Data teams love it for its robust development workflows, semantic layer support, and seamless integration with tools like dbt, which provides a single source of truth for their data. Data teams aim to function like software teams, but outdated tools have hindered their progress. Lightdash brings best practices from software engineering to analytics, creating a workflow that empowers data developers and allows more team members to access data independently. In the past two years, usage has grown over 50x, with two queries being answered every second on the platform. Notably, over 80% of daily active users are non-data team members finding answers on their own. Lightdash enables a true self-serve business intelligence experience, where anyone can explore data through an easy-to-use interface, share insights with teammates, and embed analytics for customers. Next up, Lightdash is launching an AI Analyst service that lets users chat with their data in natural language to receive relevant insights. Powered by the same semantic layer used across Lightdash, the AI Analyst allows users to get set up quickly and provides accurate answers right away. Congrats on the Series A, Hamzah Chaudhary, Oliver Laslett, and team Lightdash! https://lnkd.in/gZj3Qhyg

Lightdash Congratulations team👏🏼
Congratulations! I hope to be working with the team very soon
Congrats to the Lightdash team! Impressive to see how you’re transforming business analytics by making data accessible. The integration with data transformation tools and focus on self-serve analytics is solving a huge pain point for data teams. Best of Luck! 🚀
This sounds interesting but some use case specifics would help. For example I can’t tell whether this pertains to operational efficiency or marketing efficacy or something else
It’s hard to build data tools, and BI is one of the hardest types of tools to build. Congrats! 🎉
"Lightdash is launching an AI Analyst service that lets users chat with their data in natural language to receive relevant insights." A marketer's promised land (if you know what questions to ask).
Amazing! A reliable system to act as an AI Analyst over an organization's data is a game changer. Presently, many entrepreneurs and small businesses that lack the resources necessary to create a comprehensive AI-backed data analysis model rely on over-the-counter services like ChatGPT, but frankly, as we all know, if you're not an expert on data analysis, you can't easily validate the output from ChatGPT. A business intelligence platform such as Lightdash will give business owners and leaders the tools and confidence required to trust the AI-driven insights.
