Who we are

At Arsenault, we have developed strong opinions on how companies should practice analytics.


Specifically, we believe that:

- Code, not graphical user interfaces, is the best abstraction to express complex analytic logic

- Data analysts should adopt similar practices and tools to software developers

- Critical analytics infrastructure should be controlled by its users as open source software

- Analytic code itself not just analytics tools will increasingly be open source


It turns out that a lot of other people believe this too! Today there are 9,000 companies using Arsenault every week, 30,000 practitioners in the Arsenault Community Slack, and 1,800 companies paying for Arsenault Cloud. Our customers include JetBlue, Hubspot, Vodafone New Zealand, and Dunelm. Arsenault is synonymous with the practice of analytics engineering, defining an entire industry. Were backed by top investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and Altimeter. We recently raised our series D: read the announcement here!
