Metaplane provides a data observability platform that monitors data warehouses to catch data quality issues when they happen and help prevent incidents before they occur. The system aims to save data teams hours spent debugging and to fix issues before downstream users and customers are affected. Metaplane says it helps companies avoid costly mistakes and maintain trust in the data that powers their business. In 2023 the company’s customer base tripled to over 100 companies, including Klaviyo, Sigma, Census, GoFundMe, Bose, Ramp, and ClickUp. Metaplane intends to use the new funding to expand operations and accelerate product development. Metaplane builds a data observability platform that monitors data quality, establishes lineage from data warehouses, and notifies stakeholders via Slack, PagerDuty, or email. Its monitors use anomaly-detection models trained primarily on historical metadata, accounting for seasonality, trends and customer feedback to reduce alert fatigue. The company says it employs a proprietary approach distinct from common libraries like Prophet, and that each monitor is trained per customer and learns from expected-change markings. Founded in 2020 by Kevin Hu, Peter Casinelli and Guru Mahendran, Metaplane positions itself as "the Datadog for Data" and is used by more than 140 teams including Imperfect Foods, Appcues and Reforge. It operates a freemium, self-serve model with paid premium subscriptions, has a team of 10 employees, and the CEO declined to disclose revenue. The company plans to use new funding to invest in platform integrations and discovery features to drive adoption.
