Argo, a data discovery startup, announced today that it has raised $1. 5 million seed rounds led by Accel Partners with the participation of veteran technology angel investors, including Steve Loughlin, Kevin Mahaffey, Adam Ross, Chuck Moran, Kathy Olsen, Ryan Simonetti and Brad Katsuyama.
‘Our vision is to bring transparency and simplicity to business collaboration, enabling teams of employees to quickly and easily discover topics within and across their data,’ said Andrew Vigneault, co-founder and CEO. ‘Ping Li and Accel Partners share this vision and offer a wealth of business technology experience-Ping’s insights are second to none when it comes to advising growth companies. ”
Argo was founded in April 2014 and the way people work with data is changing. To date, data analytics software has required individuals with deep, niche expertise to focus entirely on a piece of software. Argo provides an easy-to-use, natural data discovery experience that enables businesses to collaborate and share findings from different enterprise solutions.
‘People are excited about technology that helps them to be more effective at work-it’s like discovering a super-power that makes the workforce more efficient and collaborative,’ said Ryan Atallah, co-founder and CTO. ‘We are focused on building the Argo team under the mantra of ‘connecting people through discovery. ”’
Ari Dyckovsky, Argo’s third co-founder and Chief Brand Officer, has published a paper on quantum entanglement and analyzed data for an alternative trading system, and is now in charge of branding and recruitment at Argo.
Together, the three co-founders bring to the table a diverse set of perspectives and experiences. The company was founded after Dyckovsky and Atallah dropped out of Stanford in March 2014, and Vigneault left the investment banking role of Stern Agee.
‘We’ve quietly built a powerful team, which has been a thrilling experience. Every member of the team brings new perspectives and great talent to our company,” Dyckovsky said.
