Show HN: A collaborative data discovery tool

Over the past year, our team experienced how difficult it was to discover data first hand in our last roles. Data was stored in siloed warehouses, visualized in multiple BI tools and only a few employees knew what data was trustworthy or even what different tables/columns meant.

There was a real appetite for data driven decision making across the company, but there was no good way to share tribal knowledge that had been built up over time, so people's intentions fell short. We realized that other mid sized tech companies were also creating a tremendous amount of data (we had over 500 different tables, visualizations and reports across the company of 25 people), but they didn't have a great way to make all that data accessible. This problem was so frustrating that we decided to leave our roles to solve this problem for other companies.

Secoda's product is an automated and collaborative data discovery platform that breaks down data silos within an organization and makes it easy to find, understand and use data. The product integrates with a company's existing data stack, such as Snowflake, Big Query, Redshift, Mode, Airflow, and builds up a graph of metadata that can be easily searched by employees in the organization.

We are building collaborative documentation tools such as discussions, tagging, and Slack integrations to make it simple to build up a knowledge base around company data.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and we would love to hear any feedback you might have!
