The Future of Analytics Is Here — It’s Automated and Delightful
Today marks a meaningful milestone for us at Sundial: we’ve announced our funding round.

Since my earliest days working with data, I’ve held a deep conviction that all analysis can be automated. Not just surface-level reporting, but the most intricate, nuanced, and strategic reasoning; not just what is happening, but why it’s happening, where the future is headed, and what actions we should take. Ultimately, the goal is to build systems that mirror expert human thinking at scale, so that every decision can be grounded in clarity, foresight, and confidence. This belief stems from a simple, yet powerful observation: nature operates on discoverable principles. Newton’s laws, Maxwell’s equations, and the Navier-Stokes equations elegantly explain motion, light, and fluid dynamics with astonishing clarity. So why shouldn’t growth, engagement, and monetization also be governed by a set of underlying relationships?
The AI Acceleration
The arrival of AI, and generative AI in particular, has changed the game. We now have access to neural networks capable of deeper reasoning at a scale and speed previously unimaginable. Combined with today’s hardware and distributed compute infrastructure, we find ourselves at a moment of profound acceleration. Deep analysis workflows that once required days of human effort, like identifying why ARR changed last week, can now be handled by autonomous agents. The vision of generating automated deep analysis is no longer just a dream. It’s real, and unfolding rapidly.
Reimagining Storytelling
Over the years, I’ve come to understand that how we present data profoundly shapes the decisions it drives. We’re working toward a future where insights can be drawn from data with both depth and speed. But even the most sophisticated analysis means little if it can’t be clearly communicated. We believe that the power of insight lies in its ability to resonate. That’s why our work centers on giving the data-informed stories pulse and presence, through engaging, intuitive, and personalized forms. Whether that means a compelling slide deck, a New York Times-style narrative, an interactive animation, or a data-dense table, we envision Sundial shaping each story to the decision-maker it’s meant for.
A New Chapter
As we step into this next chapter, I’ve never been more energized about the future of data, analytics, storytelling, and decision-making. At Sundial, we aren’t just imagining this future –– we’re building it. And we’re thrilled to bring these capabilities into the hands of forward-thinking teams everywhere.
Let’s shape the future, together. We are hiring data scientists, infrastructure engineers and AI engineers in Bangalore and Bay Area!
