We're starting Ridge because data on the web should be better – faster, more interactive, and in a tighter loop with action.

Understanding, sharing, and acting on data is essential to realizing its value. Innovations at the data and semantic layer have helped organize and scale data on servers, but a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. It’s time to elevate the last mile: the presentation layer.

That's especially true on the web, the universal communication platform. There, data still lives in images (!) or in dashboards and charts that are slow, poorly designed, and insufficiently interactive.  

This problem affects revenue for SaaS companies and other application providers. Providing data to customers is an essential part of these businesses. Done well, that reporting demonstrates the richness of the application to the customers and helps them see the value in the underlying application, so they feel great about renewing. Done poorly, customers complain and deals are lost.

And it's hard to do well. Many SaaS providers not only devote several teams to reporting, they have people creating custom reports by hand to bridge reporting gaps for customers.

Why is this still a problem?

We are decades into the data revolution, and entering an age of AI. While new technologies abound – LLMs, scalable in-browser analytics, and interactive data platforms like Mosaic, to name a few – these need to be carefully integrated to craft a new breed of data experiences.

We’ve worked in data for decades. We believe there's a better way, empowering easy authoring, effective presentation, rich interaction, and dynamic assistance for the “long tail” of analysis questions.

We're launching Ridge AI to scale this mountain. We'd love to tell you more and partner in the journey. Reach out to us at info@ridgedata.ai, or sign up below to stay up to date with product announcements.
