Rogo is a no-code data analytics platform that lets users do data analysis with simple plain English commands. Our mission is to unleash the power of data and enable everyone to become a data genius. We want to build tools that make data scientists more productive but also let non-technical users keep pace. Rogo will be the first full natural language interface for working with data. It’s a deeply technical problem and we hope the prospect of trying to solve it makes you as excited as it makes us. In the short term, we are partnering with financial services firms. The use cases are particularly compelling here (the pain points particularly acute), and it's where we've had the most traction so far The longer-term vision is to change the way all industries handle their data. Data needs are growing rapidly, and there aren’t enough technical employees to keep up. Existing platforms are not easy enough for users to use. Rogo will change the default for data analysis and visualizations. We are currently a team of 8 and are looking to add at least 4 more in the near term!
