What Mercator does
Mercator is your AI-assisted data analytics platform for writing faster, cheaper, and smarter SQL. Co-founders Andrew and Dayton met on the Instacart data science team.

Mercator is backed by Y Combinator, Tribe Capital, Soma Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Amplify Partners, and Rebel Fund.
