Dex
Index (Dex) is a modern business intelligence platform that enables any team member to ask natural-language questions of their company’s data and receive instant, secure insights.
Founding Story
Xavier Pladevall and Eduardo Portet, childhood friends from the Dominican Republic, founded Index to solve the bottleneck in data analytics. They saw that teams were waiting weeks for dashboards and wanted to create a platform where anyone could ask questions of their data in plain English.
