Our take
Although technology has developed quickly in the past years, the way we analyze SQL has remained unchanged. Many businesses fail to make data-driven decisions due to the complexity of traditional data software. Count is a technology startup that is setting out to solve this problem by building a next-generation SQL editor that provides SQL analysts with a modern analytical workflow.
Count enables data teams to find and share insights quickly, supercharging decision-making across their organisation. It provides a seamless workflow for SQL analysis, letting data teams explore their data in a reactive SQL notebook, collaborate in real-time and publish their results as beautiful, interactive data apps that their whole organisation can use.
Count's primary target audience is early-stage tech companies and it has been steadily increasing its customer base since raising $2.4 million in seed funding in 2020. Though its team remains small, Count has been intermittently releasing updates to its platform to increase its clients' rates of data distribution. Count, then, evidently continues to remain proactive despite its period of relative quiet through the 2020s.
