Hex Technologies

Cloud-based collaborative data workspace blending SQL, Python, and no-code cells, with built-in AI agents for building analyses, dashboards, and data apps.

Hex Technologies builds a collaborative data workspace that lets analysts and data scientists move from a raw query to a polished, shareable app without switching tools. The company was founded in San Francisco in 2019 by Barry McCardel, Caitlin Colgrove, and Glen Takahashi, who had worked together at Palantir and wanted a faster way to turn ad hoc analysis into something a whole team could use. The core product, also called Hex, combines SQL cells, Python and R cells, and no-code chart builders inside a single notebook that can be published directly as an interactive dashboard or internal app. Git-backed version history, inline comments, and shared projects make it a working environment for teams rather than a single analyst's scratchpad, and a suite of AI agents branded Hex Magic can draft queries, explain code, and help build semantic models from natural-language prompts. Hex has raised $172 million total, including a $70 million Series C in May 2025 led by Avra with Snowflake Ventures, Sequoia, and a16z participating, and counts Anthropic, Reddit, HubSpot, Cisco, and Figma among its customers.
