Hi Product Hunt! Quick backstory: a little bit over a year ago, we launched the first version of Canvas. We were makers at a few high-growth startups, and one of the most common things we'd seen users do was "export to CSV" and pivot data in Excel. We thought there must be a better way, so we built a spreadsheet that connects to live data and translates everything you do into SQL. We got amazing feedback from our early customers and iterated on it heavily, but it was clear there were still major problems: 1. Not everyone has a database or data warehouse to connect to. 2. Data lives in multiple apps and databases and stitching it all together is a huge pain. 3. Even after all the stitching, raw data really sucks to work with. So we went back to the drawing board and tried to imagine – how would we design this from scratch if we had a magic wand? Enter Canvas 2.0! Jam-packed with features, just to name a few: – Connect to 150+ SaaS apps without code (Stripe, Segment, Hubspot, Intercom, Quickbooks, Shopify, Zendesk, and so many more), as well as any database or warehouse – Use 50+ expert-made templates for common startup use cases (e.g., ARR/MRR, quick ratio, revenue retention, LTV, user retention, customer cohorts, runway, ad spend, marketing attribution, time-to-close) – Slice and dice using powerful spreadsheets and pivots. Use familiar Excel shortcuts and formulas. Save models for reuse. – Design beautiful dashboards and reports. Global filters for your team to explore easily. Tons of visualization options (and constantly adding more!). Color themes to make your charts pop. ✨ – No data team? Our human analysts can help you build complex models, dashboards, board metrics, and investor updates and review your numbers regularly. Check it out and let us know how we did! We really love feedback ❤️ (I would say >90% of the product came out of feedback from our awesome customers.)

This looks super cool @lukezapart ! I can see how this could be a big accelerant in early-stage startups 👏
Congrats on the launch! Awesome, that you are targeting startups, they are my target audience as well. I launched NextTask to help startups to automate their usual routines, such as onboarding, hiring, updates, etc.
Not a be all end all solution that you pay tens of thousands of dollars for, but for the price of it, it does solve a lot of the problems with data visualization and dashboarding with multiple data sources. It is non the less a good solution to have when data is important to you while resources is tight.
Great product - really impressed by the vision of how to merge data sources and cover the full data solution here!
It's a fabulous product. It's a tool that will help startups better understand what's happening within their business, all in one place. Congrats on the launch.
