Problem
85% of big data projects fail
Putting Machine Learning models into production is one of the most difficult tasks in data science because it involves managing large quantities of information and stitching together multiple services that require different specialization. It is one of the main reasons why 85% of big data projects fail.
How do companies like Starbucks use customer information to help make decisions?
How Starbucks did it before Datagran
- Using 5 different tools
- Had difficulty dealing with scaling, scheduling, and building APIs
- 1 month to try to have a churn model that is in the hands of the people that will activate it like Marketing
Who benefits from solving this problem?
- Businesses:
Because it lets them make better-informed decisions faster using their data. - Data scientists:
Because it helps them deploy complex models in minutes. - Small businesses and students:
Because it gives them access to data tools that were way outside their reach before.

Customer insights
Remi Denoyer
Data Scientist at "Plato"
Datagran makes it super easy to deploy an ML model, and since I am the only Data Scientist in the company, it helps me to keep focused.
Matt Martin
Dir. of Business Analytics at "GoDaddy"
Datagran's product is so timely. Our unit has a ton of models but there's just too many pain points to operationalize them.
Chris Sanborn
COO at "HFactor Water"
We spent 3 months trying to set up an analytics platform that could integrate from multiple data sources. Datagran did it in under 15 minutes.

Business model
Bottom-up strategy
- Free forever tier. Customers can sign up for free to test and try the product. As they get more value, they will need to upgrade to paid tiers.
- Pricing based on usage. There are 3 main variables that affect pricing: number of data rows, users, and machine time.
- Two main sales dynamics: a) Self-serve, and b) Sales. Our bottom-up strategy begins with a client trying the product. Then, if we identify that the client should be enterprise, we contact that user to hand-hold them through onboarding. Our minimum enterprise pricing is $1,500 per month, which includes a set of usage limits.
Market
The ML economy is just getting started
We aim to become the default platform for students and Small and Medium businesses, which has been a market overlooked by all other players.
Global AI market size is projected to reach $266B by 2027.

Competition
Datagran's technology is patent-pending
Competitors in this field include DataRobot, Alteryx, Azure, Amazon, among others.
Currently, almost all tools in the market tackle the modeling side. Datagran focuses on Operations of the Data—what is known as DataOps or MLOps.
The market indicates that most companies will want to go into our space, but our IP is protected.
There are currently no companies that actually do end-to-end ML workflows. We like calling ourselves the zapier.com for Machine Learning. Zapier enabled developers to easily send data from one app to another. We do the same, but with the ML layer on top.
Vision and strategy
Improving and expanding
We will improve our features and expand our user base
Features
We will be adding more data sources and destinations. We will add AutoML features as well as additional capabilities to give users flexibility. For example, we will soon release a feature for Data Scientists to reduce model Drift in production—something that is very well ahead of current market solutions. Finally we will aim to become a platform where developers can create their own elements to deploy end-to-end workflows that are personalized for every need.
Expand
We will expand our sales team to acquire more enterprise users. At the same time, by maturing the product and investing in SEO and events, we expect to increase our self-serve offering.
