Seattle startup Gable.ai emerged from stealth mode Tuesday with $7 million in seed funding for its data-sharing platform. The company said that it aims to “bridge the gap between software developers and data teams.” The idea is to create smoother and more efficient collaboration, while safeguarding essential data workflows in existing infrastructure. Investors say it resembles the “GitHub for data.”
- Gable was co-founded by CEO Chad Sanderson, CTO Adrian Kreuziger, and founding engineer Daniel Dicker. The trio previously led the data department at Convoy, helping to build the trucking marketplace company’s suite of data products.
- The startup is the latest addition to the “Convoy Mafia,” a growing list of companies in the Seattle-area founded or led by former employees of the tech-focused trucking firm. At least 25 startups are now led by former employees of Convoy.
- The round was led by Zetta Venture Partners, Crane Venture Capital, and Essence Venture Capital. A number of angel investors who founded data-focused companies also participated.
