Sundial is an AI-powered analytics platform designed to help companies make faster, more informed decisions by unifying various data functionalities into a single interface. Founded in 2021 by former Meta executives Julie Zhuo and Chandra Narayanan, the San Francisco-based company aims to make complex data analysis accessible to all business users, not just data specialists. The founders' experience in pioneering growth and data practices at Facebook and Instagram inspired Sundial's mission to democratize analytics.
The platform integrates capabilities that are often fragmented across different tools, such as business intelligence dashboards, data science notebooks, and data transformation pipelines. By combining AI with expert analytical frameworks, Sundial automates complex analyses and delivers insights that guide decision-makers toward their most significant opportunities. It translates raw data into a curated store of trusted metrics and events, allowing teams to ask broad business questions and receive comprehensive reports quickly. The company serves a range of clients, from fast-growing AI startups like OpenAI and Gamma to Fortune 500 companies, helping them achieve comprehensive data visibility and operationalize insights.
Sundial has raised a total of $23 million, including a $16 million Series A round led by GPV partner and the first-ever U.S. Chief Data Scientist, DJ Patil. Other notable investors include Sequoia Capital, Slow Ventures, and Tribe Capital. The company generates revenue through a subscription-based model for its enterprise software solution. This funding is being used to expand its engineering and product teams and to enhance its core AI capabilities.
