Hex is building a collaborative data workspace that enables teams to analyze, visualize, and share interactive insights. Founded by former Palantir execs Barry McCardel, Caitlin Colgrove, and Glen Takahashi, Hex combines flexible notebooks, automation, and no-code accessibility.
Today over 500 companies including Brex, Notion, and Fivetran use Hex to explore data, build models, and create shareable dashboards and apps without coding. It makes robust analysis seamless for both technical data scientists and business analysts across the organization.
Looking forward, surging corporate data volumes present tailwinds. As organizations rely more heavily on data-driven decision-making, they need better ways to extract and disseminate insights. Hex sits at the intersection of the $93 billion data science platform market and $241 billion big data analytics market, both growing at double-digit rates annually.
By joining Hex's 100+ person team, you have the opportunity to lead the next wave in data collaboration and workplace analytics. Risks remain in overtaking deeply entrenched incumbent tools and penetrating large enterprises. For instance, most B2B organizations use a single company-wide analytics platform (e.g., Tableau). The longer a company stays with one service over another, the higher the switching costs become. This puts the onus on Hex to communicate how they are superior to existing solutions. But with founding leadership experience, top-tier backing from the likes of a16z and Sequoia, and strong early growth, Hex is positioned as a next-generation analytics leader.
