The story

Mode Analytics is a collaborative BI/analytics platform founded in 2014 in San Francisco, aimed at empowering data scientists with SQL, Python, and R notebooks alongside dashboards. The company raised ~$50M through 2019 before being acquired by ThoughtSpot in 2023 to become part of its collaborative BI stack. Mode is a SaaS analytics product — not an embedded-finance company — so its 'finance stack' surface area is limited to internal vendor use (billing, DPA subprocessors).
