Metaplane ensures everyone trusts the data that powers your business. 

Data teams at Bose, ClickUp, and Klaviyo use our data observability platform to prevent and detect data issues — before the CEO pings them about weird revenue numbers.

Metaplane’s best-in-class data observability platform includes automatic anomaly detection, end-to-end column-level lineage, and powerful tools to prevent incidents before they occur. And, best of all, getting set up is as easy as flipping a switch.

Only 3% of companies’ newly-created data meets basic quality standards. Just think about that for a second.

That’s a huge gap between the data quality most companies have by default and the data quality needed for successful AI. And that gap is directly affecting the performance and reliability of AI systems everywhere.

Data teams know this all too well. For years, they’ve been on the front lines, battling to improve data quality because they’ve seen the data firsthand and understand the implications. Good data powers smart, reliable decisions; bad data undermines everything, affecting work across the board.

Garbage in, garbage out.

This has been true forever, but the stakes are even higher now. Without trustworthy data, AI can't make accurate predictions or decisions (and that applies to everything from customer support to healthcare diagnostics to financial forecasting).

If our data quality is poor, we can’t trust it. And if we can’t trust the data, it’s useless — and our AI models are too.

Please help me welcome another Metaplaner (Metapilot?), Emmett Nelson! 🎉

Emmett is joining us from AWS, where he primarily worked on high performance computing, AI/ML, and data strategy use cases. He’s been at Metaplane for less than a month, but he’s already making a huge impact.

This week, he even took Metaplane’s first intro call in Spanish. Bien hecho Emmett!

Outside of work, he’s also a proud dog dad to 1-yr old GSP Clover, and loves to travel — especially for food.

Welcome to the Metaplane team, Emmett! Super excited to work with and learn from you. 🙌

After our fundraise announcement last week, I was blown away by kind words from Metaplane customers:

• “I have loved working with Metaplane for the last 9 months. You have a great product and an incredible team. Congrats!”
• “It's been amazing to see what the team has shipped since we first became customers, it's become an essential part of our stack.”
• “Your growth has been phenomenal. I cannot wait to see what you do next!”

But just as we were getting back to the grind, I woke up to an unexpected surprise: a Slack DM from our friend Riley Waters at Ramp saying that we were on the Nasdaq billboard in Times Square!

Thank you Ramp for being amazing partners and also for building the finance platform that runs Metaplane. You even got the purple right 💜.

We’re so appreciative to all of our customers as we build the data observability platform of 2029, together.

#dataengineering #dataquality #fundraising #startups

Metaplane (YC W20) raised $13.8 million in Series A funding to automate end-to-end data observability — so data teams are the first to know about data issues.

Data now powers modern business, helping teams analyze past trends and predict future needs, like event-specific inventory planning. The rise of generative AI has pushed companies to merge data from various sources for added value. Yet, this shift to data-centric strategies makes it challenging for teams to monitor data quality due to increasingly complex pipelines involving hundreds or thousands of sources.

Founded by Kevin Hu, PhD and Guru Mahendran, Metaplane ensures everyone trusts the data that powers your business. They do this by using ML-based anomaly detection, end-to-end column-level lineage, and tools to help prevent incidents before they occur. You can integrate it and monitor your entire data stack within 15 minutes. 

Since their previous fundraise last year, the company has seen 6x growth, with over 100 companies like Ramp, Bose, Anduril, and Ro trusting Metaplane to ensure trust in their data.

Congrats to the team on the Series A!
