In today’s data-driven business landscape, accessing and utilizing data has become paramount for success. Recognizing the need to democratize data access, the founders of Seam, an early-stage startup, have launched a solution that empowers business users to harness the power of data without relying on specialized data skills.
Harnessing the capabilities of generative AI, Seam’s platform offers a unique prompt interface. This intuitive interface enables users to pose questions about customer data and receive answers without the complexities of SQL queries. By eliminating the technical barriers associated with traditional data retrieval methods, Seam empowers business users to unlock valuable insights and make informed decisions.
The inspiration behind Seam stems from the founders’ firsthand experience at Okta, where they witnessed the challenges faced by non-technical users in accessing critical data from their data warehouse. This friction hindered their ability to effectively perform their roles and highlighted the need for a more accessible solution.
Seam’s solution addresses this challenge by providing a comprehensive system that seamlessly integrates with data warehouses like Snowflake. The platform’s user-friendly chat interface allows users to engage with their data in natural language, specifically tailored to sales and marketing systems. This eliminates the dependency on data analysts, empowering business users to independently retrieve the insights they need to excel in their roles.
The company’s $5 million seed investment, led by Bessemer Venture Partners, will fuel Seam’s growth and market expansion. With a focus on scalability and reaching enterprises, Seam aims to empower more businesses to unlock the full potential of their data.
Seam’s platform has undergone a year of development, emphasizing simplicity and ease of use. The team has invested significant effort in automating complex data infrastructure processes, ensuring that pipelines can be created with just a few clicks. This user-centric approach has been instrumental in making the platform accessible to a broader range of business users.
As Seam continues to evolve, the company’s mission remains steadfast: to bridge the gap between business users and data, enabling everyone, regardless of their technical prowess, to harness the power of data and drive business success.
