About Lightdash:
Lightdash is the first AI-native BI platform for technical data teams who are frustrated with complex, expensive traditional BI tools.
We’re building the best BI tool for data teams by letting them manage everything as code, from the comfort of their IDE and command line. Once the data team has created metrics, then Lightdash enables self-serve for the entire business, so your data is accessible to the whole team using natural language, drag and drop and more.
We’re helping data teams build data-driven companies so they can make better decisions, faster.
