About Sundial

Sundial, a company headquartered in San Francisco, operates in the business/productivity software market, offering an AI-powered analytics platform. Founded in 2021 by former Meta executives Julie Zhuo and Chandra Narayanan, the firm aims to simplify data-informed decision-making for entire organizations. Zhuo, previously the VP of Design at Meta and author of "The Making of a Manager," and Narayanan, former Chief Analytics Officer at Sequoia Capital and Instagram, established Sundial to democratize analytics, removing the need for a data science background to act on critical data.

Read full description

The company's core offering is a unified platform that integrates smart dashboards, analytics, and notebooks, designed to replace a fragmented set of traditional tools like dashboards and data transformation pipelines. It connects to a client's existing data stack, including warehouses and lakes, and transforms raw data into a curated store of trusted metrics and events. Sundial's platform utilizes AI and expert analytical frameworks to automate complex analyses and deliver comprehensive reports, addressing questions that would otherwise take data science teams significant time to resolve. This enables users, from product and engineering to finance teams, to self-serve insights with confidence and speed. The business model is usage-based, with pricing dependent on the volume of data processed and queries answered, tailored to the client's scale.

Sundial serves a range of clients, from fast-growing AI startups to Fortune 500 companies, helping them identify growth opportunities and understand user behavior. For example, it assisted OpenAI by automating complex data engineering tasks and provided Character AI with deep analytics that offered comprehensive customer insights within weeks instead of months. In July 2025, the company announced it had raised a total of $23 million, including a $16 million Series A round led by GPV partner and the first-ever U.S. Chief Data Scientist, DJ Patil. This funding is intended to expand its engineering and product teams and further invest in its core AI capabilities.
