About Soda
Soda helps customers detect, resolve, and prevent data quality issues by combining automated post-production monitoring with pre-production pipeline data testing. They enable Data Engineers to effectively own DQ by “shifting left” the data quality initiatives from business to engineering.
Soda was founded in 2019 by Maarten, an employee #5 in Collibra, where he worked in Go-To-Market leadership, and Tom, who launched multiple OSS projects that generated 100s Million in value. Together, they built a tool that ensures data quality across Data Engineering, Data Governance, and business use cases.
Soda’s product offering consists of an open-source project called Soda Core, which is used by companies like Tesla, Slack, Adyen, Walmart, and JPMC. Soda commercializes its software through the Soda Cloud product. They are well-funded, with investors like Point 9 Capital, Hummingbird, Singular, and Eurazeo.
