About Shadowfax

Why We Founded Shadowfax AI

Founded by veterans of Snowflake, Palantir, Rubrik, and Alteryx, our team brings decades of experience building the world's most trusted data and analytics platforms. We've architected petabyte-scale systems, designed analyst-loved interfaces, and helped scale products from startup inception to over $1B in ARR.

We believe legacy analytics tools were built on false tradeoffs:

  • BI tools: approachable, but rigid and narrow
  • Spreadsheets: flexible, but brittle and ungovernable
  • Visual pipelines: accessible, but fragile and limited at scale
  • Code notebooks: powerful, but opaque to non-technical teams

Simply layering AI copilots on top of these foundations doesn't solve their design flaws. Even if an LLM could perfectly populate thousands of spreadsheet cells or BI fields, analysts still face the same painful task: verifying correctness one cell, one query, one chart at a time. What once took hours to build now takes hours to audit — the grind never disappeared; it just changed form.

Agentic AI lets us finally rebuild analytics without the old trade-offs. Shadowfax AI unifies multiple UX modalities in an analyst-in-the-loop workflow—so analysts orchestrate and validate instead of grind. The result: a single platform that combines ease of use, versatility, auditability, and governance without compromise.
