Founded by Erin Tavgac and Deren Tavgac, COO, data analytics experts with deep enterprise experience, Redbird currently partners with large enterprise customers across diverse verticals. The company, formerly known as Cube Analytics, has experienced rapid growth, with revenue growing 9X over the past year.

“Every modern enterprise has a need for deeper automation and orchestration across the data lifecycle,” said Erin Tavgac, Co-Founder and CEO of Redbird. “We are moving quickly to empower organizations to develop the custom applications that solve the specific needs of their different stakeholders. We’re thrilled to have the support of all our investors to accelerate this mission.”

Companies have rapidly growing data analytics needs, yet most employees lack the technical skills to self-serve against those needs. Data teams are on average outnumbered 100 to 1 by nontechnical stakeholders, and therefore often struggle to keep up with business demands. Redbird gives both technical and nontechnical users the tools to effortlessly collaborate and meet their increasingly complex analytical needs.

We’re excited to partner with Redbird as it grows its platform.”

“Thomson Reuters customers need technology that helps them get more out of their data without adding point solutions,” said Tamara Steffens, Managing Director at Thomson Reuters Ventures. “TR Ventures is excited about our investment in Redbird because its end-to-end data automation is a game changer for enterprise data management and analysis.”
