Turning locked up data into collective knowledge: Supper’s agentic data platform
Data is the most valuable currency, but for most startups, it’s trapped inside different platforms, requiring days of digging, combining, and packaging to answer basic and constant questions.

In the fast-paced world of startups, data is the lifeblood of decision-making. However, for many early-stage companies, this valuable resource is often siloed across multiple platforms, making it difficult to access and analyze. The challenge lies in extracting, transforming, and reconciling data from disparate sources such as Salesforce, Stripe, HubSpot, and internal databases. These systems require time-consuming efforts to dig into, combine, and package the information needed to answer basic yet critical questions.
For startups, questions like "What's our win rate this year?" or "How many leads did we generate last month by source?" may seem straightforward, but they can be surprisingly hard to answer. The answers exist within the systems, but the process of extracting and integrating them can be cumbersome and time-consuming. This often leaves teams struggling to provide timely insights to investors or make informed business decisions.
This is where Supper, an agentic data platform, steps in. Built by Lowell Putnam and Andy Salamon, Supper aims to transform the way startups access and utilize their data. By connecting directly to existing sources, Supper provides real-time, natural language answers to questions, eliminating the need for complex Excel models or SQL queries.
At the heart of Supper's design is a conversational interface. Users can ask questions and receive immediate, accurate responses. If the system requires further clarification, it will prompt the user with follow-up questions until it understands the query. This approach not only speeds up the data retrieval process but also makes it accessible to everyone within the company, not just those with technical expertise.
One of Supper's key strengths is its speed. The platform is designed to be quickly integrated into a startup's existing infrastructure, allowing teams to start benefiting from its capabilities almost immediately. Early adopters have already begun automating critical tasks such as board reports, investor updates, and marketing readiness.
By bridging the gap between disparate data sources, Supper empowers startups to transform locked-up data into collective knowledge. This not only streamlines decision-making but also frees up valuable time and resources that can be directed towards other strategic initiatives. As the startup ecosystem continues to evolve, Supper's agentic data platform stands as a testament to the power of innovation in unlocking the true potential of data.
