Overview

Secoda is a Toronto-based AI-powered data catalog, lineage, and documentation platform led by CEO Etai Mizrahi. The company automates data discovery and documentation by automatically ingesting metadata across all data sources, enabling data teams to make decisions from a single system. Its platform combines cataloging, lineage, and documentation to streamline metadata management. Secoda serves customers including Panasonic, Mode, and Vanta. The company raised $14M in a Series A round and intends to use the funds to expand operations and development efforts. Secoda offers a Google-like search interface that connects to company databases, extracts metadata, and lets users quickly find tables and related documentation. The product surfaces table descriptions, who created a table, when it was created, and allows users to add documentation and collaborate. The SaaS startup launched in May and has been used by over 100 data teams across "basically every continent" since then. Secoda graduated from Y Combinator's summer 2021 cohort and was founded by Etai Mizrahi and Andrew McEwen, who previously sold their last company, Correly, to Acadium in 2019. The company currently has five employees and plans to add roughly 10 more in product, engineering, and marketing in the first half of 2022. It intends to use product additions such as an open API, further integrations, and enhanced collaboration to meet customer demand and ease setup (the team says extraction can be done in five minutes versus competitors that can take months).
