Gable, a Seattle startup building software to help developers and data analysts collaborate more effectively, is raising fresh cash to fuel its growth.
A new SEC filing revealed the funding. Gable CEO Chad Sanderson confirmed that the startup is raising investment but declined to share specific details.
Founded last year, Gable has been described as a “GitHub for data,” acting as a middleman between producers of data and consumers of data within a company.
Gable helps companies see real-time information on any data-related changes being made across a business. The idea to make sure end users are not impacted by these types of tweaks, and to streamline communication between different internal groups.
“It’s a level of visibility that data scientists, analysts, product managers, finance teams never had before,” Sanderson said. “It allows them to be proactive when it comes to data quality and data governance issues.”
The AI boom is a tailwind for Gable, especially with increased scrutiny on the data being used to train AI models. The broader adoption of data products and applications is also helping drive interest in Gable, Sanderson said.
“Companies are starting to use data in a more production-grade way,” he said. “Before, it was all about analytics and reporting — now it is more about money-making, cost-saving, and regulatory compliance that requires a higher standard of quality control.”
Sanderson said Gable has paying customers. The company has 19 employees.
Zetta Venture Partners, Crane Venture Capital, and Essence Venture Capital led the company’s $7 million seed round last year.
Sanderson co-founded Gable with CTO Adrian Kreuziger, and founding engineer Daniel Dicker. The trio previously led the data department at Convoy, the former Seattle digital trucking startup.
