What they do

Problem

Data teams struggle to collaboratively build, share, and iterate on interactive analyses and data applications across disparate data sources and compute environments.

Solution

A Notion-like collaborative data platform that connects to data sources and lets users write SQL/Python to create interactive visualizations and data apps with comments, multiplayer editing, and flexible compute execution.

Who it's for

Data scientists and analysts at organizations who need a collaborative workspace for building and sharing data visualizations and apps.

Lucas da Costa

Founder

I'm the founder and CEO at Briefer. Previously, I worked as a senior software engineer at Elastic and led software engineering teams at an early-stage startup in London. I used to maintain large OSS projects like Chai.js and Sinon.js and contributed to many others, including Jest. As an author, I wrote "Testing JavaScript Applications," published by Manning. I've also spoken in more than ten countries, and my content has been voluntarily translated into more than seven languages.
