Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Metabase is at the crest of a third wave of Business Intelligence tools: first centralized enterprise architectures like SAP, then self-service tools like Tableau and Looker and now cloud-based, open-source tools like Metabase.
Its open-source nature has helped Metabase reach 98 million downloads. Metabase makes money by offering a number of professional services like managed hosting, support, and assistance with implementing Metabase in a custom analytics or business intelligence setup.
The company is doubling down on its documentation and sales team to help onboard less experienced users and scale beyond their current user base of over 30,000 companies. The challenge for the startup will be capturing significant revenue while sticking to their open-source principles.
