Its groundbreaking patented data profiling technology reimagines data analytics by enabling more people to leverage data without having a deep technical understanding of the data infrastructure or waiting for data engineers. Unlike other solutions, there is no requirement to first centralize data with ETL, pre-build models or create reports. It is a true ad-hoc self-service data and analytics solution for everyone. </span></p>

There wasn’t one single solution that made it faster and easier for everyone &#8211; technical or not &#8211; to leverage data. So, we built one, and now the workflow from question to data to answer takes minutes instead of months,” said Promethium CEO and Founder Kaycee Lai. “We have always believed that making data easier to use will drive people to make more [better] data-driven decisions. This Series A investment will allow us to ramp up hiring on sales, marketing, product and engineering to fuel the number of enterprises using Promethium to create data-driven answers.”</span></p>
