Chartio, founded in 2010 by Dave Fowler and Justin Davis, was a pioneering business intelligence (BI) platform that empowered businesses to explore and visualize their data with ease. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Chartio became widely known for its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, enabling users of all technical levels to create powerful dashboards and gain insights from complex data.

Chartio’s mission was to make data accessible to everyone, eliminating the need for technical barriers in data analytics. It provided robust tools for connecting to various data sources, from traditional databases to modern cloud warehouses, allowing teams to unify and analyze their data seamlessly.

In 2021, Chartio was acquired by Atlassian, a global leader in team collaboration and software development tools, to enhance Atlassian’s data and analytics capabilities. Chartio’s functionality has since been integrated into Atlassian’s product ecosystem, aligning with products like Jira and Confluence to deliver data-driven decision-making capabilities to teams worldwide.

At the time of its acquisition, Chartio employed a small but highly skilled team of approximately 50 people. The company raised $7 million in venture funding from prominent investors, including Avalon Ventures and Bullpen Capital, and was widely regarded as a leader in making analytics accessible to small and medium-sized businesses.

Now part of Atlassian, Chartio’s legacy lives on through enhanced data and analytics experiences for millions of users globally. By joining forces with Atlassian, the Chartio team has furthered its mission of democratizing data, ensuring that teams everywhere can unlock the power of their data to drive better outcomes.
