USA – Metaplane, a Boston, MA-based company providing a data observability platform, raised $8.4M in funding.
The round was led by Khosla Ventures with participation from Flybridge Ventures, Stage 2 Capital.The company intends to use the funds to accelerate growth and expand operations.Founded by Kevin Hu, Metaplane is the Datadog for Data. Data teams at high-growth companies (like Imperfect Foods, Mux, and Reforge) use its data observability platform to save engineering time and increase trust in data by understanding when things break, what went wrong, and how to fix it — before an executive messages them about a broken dashboard. The platform automatically monitors modern data stacks from warehouses to BI dashboards, identifies normal behavior (e.g. lineage, volumes, distributions, freshness), and then alerts the right people when anomalies arise.Metaplane has over 100 teams using its product to discover, debug, and mitigate data issues, including teams at Imperfect Foods, Mux, and Reforge. The product is self-serve — allowing data and analytics engineers to connect their data sources and start monitoring in less than 30 minutes.11/01/2023
