Our take
For millions of people, the complexity of the world's data presents very real obstacles to understanding. So Observable has created a platform to discover and learn data visualization techniques, with collaboration built in.
The company believes working with data is an essential skill for everyone. The Observable community is made up of hundreds of thousands of developers, data scientists, students and teachers. They create and share work to help visitors understand the limitless potential of code.
The company is also helping organizations to make decisions with data, and classes at MIT that are working in Observable every day. The company has so far completed 3 rounds of series funding, which have supported lasting growth and tech innovation.
