What Dataherald does

Dataherald enables you to embed Natural Language to SQL (“NL-to-SQL” or "Text-to-SQL") into your product. The NL-to-SQL API, built with an LLM, allows your users to conduct no-code data analytics, pull reports, get answers to data questions, and conduct complex data queries using just natural language.

Embed NL-to-SQL into your Product

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build an API that translates natural language questions directly into SQL queries using a large language model. This lets product teams embed no-code data analytics inside their apps so users can pull reports and answer complex data questions without writing SQL.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Los Angeles, CA, and Dataherald is based here. We'd continue here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles gives us access to a technical talent pool and a growing tech community. It's been our base from day one and convenient for our team of 18.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Dataherald YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Dataherald's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Dataherald would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
