Mozart Data, a San Francisco-based startup, offers an out of the box data stack for enterprises to become data-driven. To make it easier for companies to become data-driven, the company is offering a free tier of its product – Mozart’s Sonata – which contains the core capabilities of the paid service. It includes the tools to extract, load and transform data to a data warehouse environment. This lowers the cost of implementation of data infrastructure and the need to hire specialist engineers.
The CEO and co-founder of Mozart Data, Peter Fishman, explains that while Sonata provides a good platform to start implementing the all-in-one service, there are certain limits to access to compute and row usage. Also, companies may need to upgrade their plans for larger data quantities. Mozart Data currently connects to more than 400 sources to Snowflake. Companies can load two to three sources depending on the data volumes without hitting limits.
The startup is backed by Y Combinator and has around 100 paying customers. It includes Scratchpad, Modern Treasury, QuotaPath, Zeplin, and Aalto. Nathan Mayer, head of business operations at Aalto notes that Mozart doesn’t need data engineering expertise and the hard cost of using the platform is lesser than building a data stack in-house.
Mozart Data’s free tier allows companies to access core features of the paid service, and they are hosting an event on 11-12th July, in San Francisco, to hear how leaders are integrating and optimizing AI investments for success. The team hopes that by providing users easy access to the data stack, they will upgrade to plans that offer more volume, once they find value from data.
