The next chapter for Steep

We're excited to share that Steep has raised €4 million in a seed funding round led by Connect Ventures, along with existing investor Inventure and participation from Alliance VC, Antler, and Greens.

This new funding will be used to accelerate product development, expand the team and reach more companies globally. Helping us get closer to our vision of making data simple, useful, and enjoyable for everyone.

If you share our passion for analytics and great workplace products - yes, we’re hiring! Check out our careers page for open positions on both the commercial and product side, and do get in touch.

We built Steep on the idea that data needs to be in everyone’s hands - and with Steep’s metrics-first approach, this is now becoming a reality. Data teams are supporting entire organizations with Steep, and hundreds of end users are collaborating and analyzing data independently. We’re more convinced than ever that this is the future way of doing BI, and the love we’re hearing from users and data leaders tells us that this change needs to happen.

In the words of Magnus, Sr Director of Data & Platform @ Voi who’s rolling out Steep:

“Steep has already made a big impact at Voi. Using metrics instead of dashboards is definitely a mindset shift, but the benefits are worth it. It’s helping all our users to do much more on their own and allows our data team to work smarter and move faster.”

We’re also excited to announce the beta release of Steep’s new AI-enabled interface, making exploring data easier and more engaging than ever before. Now you can simply write in natural language what you are looking for, and Steep will generate a relevant chart for you. With the integrated workflow, you can then continue to explore, share or save to a report. Click here to learn more about the AI beta and how to join.

Thank you to all our customers, partners and supporters for helping us reach this milestone. Looking forward to the next part of the journey with all of you 💙

Johan & Nino
