Parabola enables non-technical users to work with their data as effectively as an engineer without needing spreadsheets or code. Our customers find they're able to save multiple hours per week.

@dshan We have those plus Stripe at the moment, with more to come soon. Is there anything specifically you're interested in?
True painkiller product. My team was spending 10 hours each week on tedious sales and marketing tasks (lead cleaning, marketing list segmentation). We set up a workflow in Parabola in ~30min and now just need to spend a few minutes running it every week.
Nice work @alexyaseen, I remember I tried this a while back and had an issue with file size limits on my spreadsheets as you were using browser side processing. Have you moved to server side? I am currently using chart.io, how do you guys compare now?
@vinayp10 Vinay, we currently limit it to 10 million cells of data per import. I'll DM you to talk about your specific use case.
My team at RolePoint has been using Parabola for almost a year now and it's been an awesome addition to our sales stack. Previously, it took us hours to segment lead lists, append company specific data, cleanse bad leads, and clean up leads to be ready for sending. Parabola has allowed us to trim down what use to be a tedious manual process to just a few clicks. We have a pretty robust clean up and data appending flow (currently at 40 steps), but with Parabola, we can process thousands of leads, while adding a few dozen columns of data, in a couple minutes. It's pretty incredible for our use case. Congrats @alexyaseen and Parabola team!
@the_treal_jay Thanks for the kind words JP and thanks for being such a great early customer!
This is incredible, opening up the ability for anyone to do data transformations is awesome! I definitely wish I had a tool like this when I was first working with data sets! 💌 Definitely checking this out!
Hi Alex, rather than just the Giving Tuesday thing (which is cool) have you considered a special pricing for educational and nonprofit organizations? That is an often untapped market.
@jasonology Yes we have, although we haven't implemented anything at this point. Would love to hear your thoughts. Send me a DM if you'd like to talk more.
Hi everyone and thanks @lylemckeany!
We created Parabola with the goal of enabling everyone to easily work with their data without needing technical skills. It makes data easy to import and manipulate, eliminates the need for complex formulas, and everything you build is automatically updated whenever new data comes in.
-Easy, drag-and-drop interface that handles the most complex and frustrating tasks for you.
-Connect to live data, clean/merge data sets, perform a variety of data transformations, and visualize the results.
-Package your analysis into engaging dashboards for sharing and collaborating with just a few clicks.
Our early customers use Parabola for everything from cleaning lead data to creating live-updating analytics dashboards. We’d love for you to try it and let us know what you think.
***Giving Tuesday Promo***
Because today is Giving Tuesday, if you sign up today, 50% of your first month’s payment will go to Jumpstart (https://jstart.org). Jumpstart is a fantastic, national nonprofit focused on improving critical language and literacy skills among children in low-income neighborhoods. Self-empowerment and education are at the core of what we believe in at Parabola, so we’re excited to support them.

@alexyaseen This looks really great. We currently have data in a few different places (in my particular case, campaign monitor and typeform) – being able to leave it where it is but combine it all in Parabola would be a game changer. I do realise campaign monitor and typeform are not yet supported – Question: is there a rough timeline on support for these services (or zapier)? I'm asking so I can manage expectations within my team if I suggest Parabola.. many thanks
@voodoo6000 Zapier is at the top of our list, campaign monitor and typeform have been less frequently requested. DM me on twitter and we can talk about what you would need from these integrations and how soon we can make that happen.
Looks great! I wanted to give a try, but the price point is more on the pro-professional side, so, I was thinking that probably if you promoted like: "We created Parabola with the goal of enabling every professional to easily work with their data without needing technical skills" something like that would be clearer to manage price expectations, or for "normal users" offer basic connections like google sheets only, pros offer mail chimp etc, and so on...
I used an earlier version of Parabola and loved it then -- I can't wait to dig into it again! Congrats on all the progress!
@lynnfredricks We also have a variety of third party integrations (Salesforce, Stripe, Google Sheets, Mixpanel) and many more in the pipeline
Good if it does what it claims. I didn't try this because there was no immediate value for me. I can't afford commercial rights and I can't even use this for my personal projects because it's not free even for one user. Hence, I will not recommend it to others, who can afford. Few queries - 1. I wonder why someone should switch to Parabola from plotly / tableau ? 2. A tweak in pricing model may help you grow quickly or may help in spreading word of mouth. If you can allow one person per company free for some GBs of data or for some 12 months or for some 100s of charts/insights.
@james_osullivan We're confident the time savings alone is easily worth it! We also have a free trial so you can be sure :)
