What Honeydew does

The way people use data is constantly changing. Data teams must support every new context without breaking the shared truth. Honeydew’s semantic layer does it automatically. We validate each change and update every data flow. Using Honeydew, data teams can support 10x more data users - without more engineers or compromising integrity.

We built a semantic layer for data teams that automatically validates every change and updates all related data flows. This lets data teams support many more users without adding engineers or risking data integrity.

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

We live in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel. The company is based there and will remain so after YC.
