Snowpilot is a spreadsheet-like UI with the full power of a data warehouse. Powered by cutting-edge database tech, Snowpilot lets non-technical users join datasets and query live across billions of rows, with data automatically pulled in from tools like Salesforce, Zendesk, Gong, and Posthog.

Ben and Dom met at a Sequoia & a16z-backed data startup, Census. Together, we built the first real-time, warehouse-native customer data platform. Prior to that, Dom led 20+ ML engineers at Adobe to build their internal ad optimization platform, which allocates $1B in annual spend. Ben built the microservices stack powering the new Microsoft Edge, scaling from 0 to hundreds of millions of DAUs.

We started coding Snowpilot two weeks ago (mid-August '24), and we already have a live demo app that can run sub-second queries on millions of rows, entirely in the user's browser.

The data warehouse market is $10B/yr, growing 23% YOY. We will disrupt incumbents and significantly expand this market by enabling non-engineers to use the data warehouse on a daily basis.
