Lightdash
The open source Looker alternative
What they do
Teams struggle to create and maintain consistent, centralized business logic and self-serve analytics without relying on expensive proprietary BI tools.
Lightdash provides an open-source, dbt-native business intelligence and analytics platform that centralizes metrics and enables exploration and dashboards.
Data teams and analytics users at organizations using dbt who want a self-serve BI layer for stakeholders.
Founders
I've been frustrated with the state of data tools over the last few years, now building Lightdash with a mission to build the data stack for the future of data-driven teams. Former Director of Product Management at an insurtech (employee #7), grew the business from seed to Series B, $40M+ funding and >70 employees. In previous work, I worked with drone analytics technology and launched a late-night food delivery service based in London
Full-stack data enthusiast and all round generalist. I founded Lightdash: an open-source alternative to Looker. Before that I was a machine learning engineer in the fintech sector and a PhD in computational physics.
