Company mission
Mindfuel's mission is to inspire companies to form communities where data products are deeply admired by people across the world.
Our take
Mindfuel offers both an SaaS platform as well as its own data products studio which focuses on data product management, data mesh, and data strategy, as well as a range of other data services.
The pressure on enterprises to digitize and ultimately be more data driven has fostered a very competitive data products market. However, while most startups in the space offer a single SaaS solution, it’s interesting that Mindfuel is taking a more open approach by also positioning itself as a custom data products studio and data strategy consultancy.
This approach seems to be working, as the company has worked with some major names since launching in 2019, including Cisco, Zeppelin Cat, and Scout24. That it’s grown both its customer and employee headcount quickly without seeking venture funding is all the more impressive, and should bode well for the future.

Company values

- Always be the rainbow in somebody else’s life: We are super keen on good vibes and appreciation! Lifting spirits and offering each other kindness and positive feedback is the least thing we can do
