Sundial, an AI-driven analytics platform, has announced that it has raised a total of $23 million, including a $16 million Series A funding round led by GPV partner DJ Patil, the first U.S. Chief Data Scientist. The company has also raised investments from notable firms such as Sequoia Capital and Electric Capital, as well as influential industry figures like Fidji Simo and Tobi Lütke.
In a crowded market of fragmented analytics tools—such as dashboards and data pipelines—Sundial offers a unified, intuitive platform that combines AI with expert analytical frameworks, enabling organizations to make more informed decisions.
How the funding will be used: With this funding, Sundial plans to expand its engineering and product teams, enhance its AI capabilities, and increase adoption among companies seeking actionable insights in an AI-first era.
