Hex Technologies is a platform for collaborative data science and analytics that brings together SQL, Python, R, and no-code workflows in powerful notebooks to facilitate exploratory analysis with minimal friction and publish projects as interactive data apps that anyone in an organization can use. The company aims to bridge the gap between data scientists and non-technical users by offering a "low-floor, high ceiling" approach that pairs code with powerful UI tools. Hex has gained significant traction and raised its Series B financing led by Andreessen Horowitz, Databricks, Snowflake, and existing investors. Despite the challenges of building a company from scratch, the founders have emphasized the importance of collaboration, documentation, and tooling to ensure the success of their platform. They attribute their reputation for shipping quickly and their ability to scale an effective engineering team to New Relic's fast, intuitive, and customizable UI and flexible pricing. The company has seen significant benefits in using New Relic, including improved debugging capabilities, faster log searching, and easier collaboration among teams.
