Data engineering & analytics

The data team you haven't hired yet.

We build and run the warehouse, the reporting and the automations around them. For funded tech companies that have outgrown spreadsheets and aren't ready to hire three data people. We work in your Slack and ship every week.

What the work actually is

Most of it is unglamorous. That's the point.

Nobody hires a data team for the dashboards. They hire one because the numbers don't match, the close takes too long, and the person who understood the spreadsheet just left. We fix that part first.

How we work

  • 133PL fulfillment feeds pulled into one COGS model, so accounting stopped assembling it by hand.
  • 32dbt models quietly affected by a deprecation bug. We found it and fixed it.
  • 1,847mis-attributed compliance records taken to zero, checked across about 230,000 cases.
  • 46→9Looker models being consolidated, one phase at a time, without moving a single dashboard number.

From clients

In their words.

SF/Silicon Valley level data science expertise at a fraction of the cost. Despite being remote, they're extremely responsive and felt just like having them in-person on our team. They owned our entire data function end-to-end.

How it starts

Three steps. No discovery phase that lasts a quarter.

01 · Week 0

A 30-minute call

You show us the mess. We tell you whether we can help. Sometimes the answer is no.

02 · Weeks 1–4

A scoped first month

We start with whatever is costing someone hours every week, and get it into production.

03 · Ongoing

One person who knows your business

You get one dedicated person day to day, in your Slack and your tools. Something ships every week.

We're a good fit if

  • You're a funded company, roughly 20 to 500 people
  • Reporting lives in spreadsheets one person owns
  • You want the people doing the work on the call

We're probably not if

  • You want a large firm and a steering committee
  • You need someone on-site five days a week
  • You're shopping for a software license, not a team
Next step

Tell us what isn't adding up.

Thirty minutes. Bring the spreadsheet everyone's afraid to touch. We'll tell you plainly whether we can help, and if we can't, who might.
