We Are DataSQRL
Our mission is to help developers and organizations build with data. And show the world that data is fun … isn’t it?
Why DataSQRL?
We have worked with companies of all shapes and sizes - from startups to Fortune 500 - to build data products with their data and realized that it’s too darn hard with existing technologies and processes. Companies are leaving a lot of value on the table because extracting it from their data is difficult, time consuming, and expensive.
We started DataSQRL to empower developers and organizations to build with data and unlock the value they are sitting on. We believe that we need better technology and better processes. We don’t have all the answers yet, but we are committed to figuring it out.
Please join our community or our company if you care about empowering developers to build with data and help us find a better approach.
Work with us if you want to enable your organization to build successful data products quickly and efficiently. We’d love to help you.
