Ara Platforms is an AI workspace for data analysts so teams stop wasting time and ship insights that actually matters.
Today, analysts waste 50% of their time in ad-hoc requests, scattered workflows, and repeat work. They can't prove their business impact. This information inefficiency costs an org $103M/year. Ara solves this by giving teams a single place to store, version, share their insights and track ROI.
Our platform is built for technical analysts and data-driven organizations that want to:
1. Centralize knowledge: Every analysis lives in one searchable library, making it easy to find, reuse, and build on past work.
2. Collaborate effectively: Version control and peer review flows reduce duplication and increase trust in insights.
3. Deliver faster: A streamlined request system tracks progress and keeps business stakeholders aligned.
4. Prove impact: Built-in ROI feedback loops show how insights are used and what decisions they influence.
We’re building the infrastructure for a modern analytics workflow. One that cuts inefficiencies, eliminates silos, and helps teams focus on solving real problems.
Founded by Mari Soonsoo Bae (ex-Google product lead who launched $10B+ products) and Kyle Johnson (ex-Meta data scientist who scaled analytics for 3B users), Ara combines deep domain expertise with firsthand experience of analyst pain.
Our vision: a world where data teams focus on what they love to do - solving problems.
