Outdated business intelligence tools have left organizations struggling. They slow down decision-making, create data silos, and demand heavy IT support. Astrato is changing that.
The London-based startup, founded in 2023 by the Vizlib team, just secured $5 million in seed funding. Big Pi Ventures led the round, joined by Propelling Tech Ventures and over 30 data and analytics experts. Astrato will use the funding to expand its team and speed up the launch of new AI-driven features.
CEO Martin Mahler knows the challenges well. He led Vizlib to $22 million in annual revenue before its acquisition. Now, with Astrato, he’s building a faster, smarter way for teams to work with data.
Astrato’s platform lets users explore live cloud data without moving it. It connects directly to warehouses like Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and ClickHouse. Teams can build dashboards, update forecasts, and even write back data — all without IT bottlenecks.
Security is a top priority. Astrato is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, keeping data safe while making it easily accessible.
What sets Astrato apart is its no-code, AI-native experience. Business users can ask questions in plain English and get answers instantly. The “BI Copilot” feature builds reports and visualizations automatically. No technical skills needed.
Customers are already seeing results. IAG Loyalty cut its time-to-insight from weeks to hours. PetScreening, a U.S. SaaS company, doubled its user base after embedding Astrato into its platform.
Unlike old BI tools that charge high licensing fees, Astrato uses simple, usage-based pricing. Companies only pay for what they use, making it easy for startups and enterprises to scale.
“Astrato is the execution layer of the modern data stack,” said Mahler. “We connect to the cloud, letting teams collaborate and act on live data without delays or licensing friction.”
Astrato is not just about dashboards. It’s about building live, AI-driven data apps. From finance and marketing to customer-facing products, teams use Astrato to turn insights into action — faster and smarter than ever.
As more companies move to the cloud, Astrato is helping them leave legacy BI tools behind and unlock real-time, AI-powered insights.
