Metabase Inc. is a software company founded in 2014 and headquartered in the San Francisco area. It offers an open-source business intelligence platform that enables teams to explore data, build dashboards, and send automated reports without needing SQL skills. Compatible with over 20 database types, Metabase can be quickly self-hosted or accessed through a cloud-hosted subscription model, including free and enterprise plans tailored for compliance and embedded analytics.

The product originated within the Expa portfolio and was designed from the start to empower non-technical users while scaling to enterprise deployments. Metabase has attracted venture funding—including an $8M Series A led by NEA and later a Series B backed by Insight Partners—and has maintained its emphasis on accessible, user-centered tools. Today, it's relied on by tens of thousands of organizations worldwide and continues to evolve through a mix of open-source community contributions and commercial offerings.
