About Metaplane
Metaplane helps companies trust their data.
Before Metaplane, data teams were often the last to find out about data quality issues. Silent data bugs can disrupt ETL systems, warehouses, and downstream BI tools, causing incorrect decisions to be made and a loss of trust in the data that is hard to gain back. Imagine software engineering teams lacking a tool like Datadog and only finding out about issues when users complain or simply stop using your application — that is the state of data teams today.
We’re building a platform for high performing data teams (like Bose, Sotheby’s, Ramp, Klaviyo, Sigma, and many more) so they can continuously monitor their data pipelines and know when things break, what went wrong, and how to fix it — all before downstream consumers message them asking “is this dashboard broken?”
We’re a Boston-based, remote-friendly company founded by MIT and HubSpot alums. Metaplane is backed by leading investors such as Y Combinator, Flybridge, Felicis, Khosla Ventures, and notable angel investors, including Dharmesh Shah (HubSpot), Frederic Kerrest (Okta), Kevin Mahaffey (Lookout), and Alex Maccaw (Clearbit).
