250 King St UNIT 514, San Francisco, CA, 94107, United States

Overview

Mozart Data offers a platform that assembles and manages modern data stacks for startups, simplifying choices by providing built components and recommending best-in-class tools. The company uses Snowflake as the default data lake/warehouse under the hood and handles extraction, loading, and transformation—stopping short of data visualization. Mozart emerged from Y Combinator's Summer 2020 cohort and has grown its customer base from three initial customers to about 50. Since its 2020 seed, the company reports ARR growth of roughly 500% and headcount expansion from six employees to more than 20. The team says new capital will fund additional hiring, and the company emphasizes building a diverse workforce by focusing on the top of the recruiting funnel. Founders position Mozart as a fast way for startups to spin up a modern data stack in minutes rather than months. Mozart Data offers an out-of-the-box data stack that pulls together data from databases and SaaS tools, manages a Snowflake warehouse under the hood, and provides a transformation layer before BI tools. The service targets technical users who know SQL—data analysts, data scientists, and sales and marketing operations. Founders Peter Fishman and Dan Silberman launched the company earlier in 2020 and initially funded it themselves before joining Y Combinator in June and graduating from the Summer 2020 cohort. Today the startup serves about a dozen customers and has six employees, and it plans to add 10–12 more hires over the next year. The founders plan to use their experience as users to drive product messaging and customer value. Early hiring has leaned on the founders' networks while they broaden recruiting to build a more diverse team.
