About Hevo
Hevo is a simple, intuitive, and powerful No-code Data Pipeline platform that enables companies to consolidate data from multiple software for faster analytics.
Doordash, Footlocker, Arhaus, Santander, and thousands of other data-driven companies share one thing. They all use Hevo Data’s fully managed Automated Pipelines to consolidate their data from multiple sources like Databases, Marketing Applications, Cloud Storage, SDKs, Streaming Services, etc. We are a San Francisco/Bangalore-based company with 2000+ customers across 45+ countries in e-commerce, financial technology, and healthcare. Strongly backed by marquee investors like Sequoia Capital, we have raised $42 Million and are looking forward to our next hyper-growth phase!
Why do we Exist?
At Hevo, our mission is to enable every company to be data-driven. We started on this journey 4 years ago and as the first step in this direction, we built our first product – “Data Pipeline” or simply “Pipeline”. Hevo Pipeline is a no-code platform that helps companies connect all their data sources within the company to get a unified view of their business. The platform offers integrations with 150+ data sources such as Databases, SaaS applications, Advertising Channels, etc. Today, we enable nearly 2000 companies across more than 40+ countries to be more data-driven. We aim to make the technology so simple that anyone should be able to solve their data problems and not be limited due to their lack of technical skills.
