American startup Gable has raised $20M in a Series A round. Ukrainian fund Roosh Ventures is among the investors. Gable has created the first data management platform that allows software and data developers to incrementally create and manage high-quality data.
The round was led by Crane Venture Partners with participation from Zetta Venture Partners, Databricks Ventures, B Capital, Capital One Ventures, In-Q-Tel (IQT) and angel investors including Barr Moses and Tristan Handy, according to Ukrainian fund Roosh Ventures.
The Gable platform addresses a critical challenge in modern data governance by implementing what the company calls a “Shift Left” for data. Instead of data governance being the sole responsibility of lower-level organizations, data processing will become a shared responsibility between producers, data platform teams, and consumers. The Gable platform is built around “data contracts”—API-based agreements between software developers who own the source data sources and the data developers/analysts who consume it. These contracts work with structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, creating a foundation of quality that better aligns with modern business intelligence (BI) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
“Just as DevOps shifted operational responsibility to developers and DevSecOps built security into the development process, we are fundamentally changing how organizations manage data quality and governance through Data DevOps,” said Chad Sanderson, CEO and co-founder of Gable. “By moving to data quality at the point of creation, we are eliminating the costly cycle of fixing broken pipelines, eliminating inconsistencies, and debugging issues at lower levels.”
The “Shift Left” approach transforms data teams from reactive cost centers to proactive value creators, enabling organizations to create better data assets from the start.
“The most interesting transformations in the industry occur when responsibility is shifted closer to the code developers. Just as Wiz changed the game in the field of security, Gable is changing the rules of working with data. Their “Shift Left” approach allows you to create high-quality data immediately — at the moment of its birth. It is known that more than 60% of the time of AI specialists is spent on data preparation. And that is why data has already become the “oil” of our time — companies are investing millions in their processing. Gable is not just in trend — they are building the infrastructure that will become a critically important part of the development of AI,” comments Andriy Tymovsky, Principal at Roosh Ventures.
Gable proponents point to faster resolution of data issues, with initial results showing an improvement in incident resolution time of up to 70%, while development cycles for data-dependent features are accelerated by nearly 50%.
The company will use the new investment to accelerate product development and expand its team to meet the growing demand for data collaboration tools. Gable is working closely with several clients, including Glassdoor, Grab and x15ventures, the venture arm of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, to enhance its platform, which is demonstrating significant improvements in data quality and team productivity.
