Metabase, an open-source business intelligence tool launched in 2015, has announced a Series A funding round of $8 million led by NEA, with Julia Schottenstein joining its board. This funding will help the company expand its team and enhance its product offerings, including the unveiling of its new Enterprise Edition, designed for companies with large-scale operations and a need for self-service reporting. Over the years, Metabase has gained significant traction, with over 14,000 stars on GitHub, 10 million Docker Hub pulls, and users in over 150 countries. Despite the rapid growth and feature expansion across various industries and databases, Metabase remains committed to maintaining its core mission of being an accessible and user-friendly analytics tool for everyone, not just data specialists. The company expresses gratitude to its global community for their support and contributions, which have been instrumental in its journey and success.
