Big data isn’t just big—it’s messy, overwhelming, and sometimes downright intimidating.
For years, businesses have struggled to harness their data without needing an army of analysts or an unholy number of pivot tables.
At Scoop Analytics, we decided enough was enough. We set out to make data work for you, not the other way around.
And guess what? People noticed.
CRN just named us one of the 10 Hottest Big Data Startups of 2024, and we couldn’t be prouder (or more motivated to keep scooping up wins).
But hey, we’re not alone on this stage.
CRN’s spotlight shines on some remarkable innovators who, like us, are reshaping the big data landscape.
Scoop Analytics
Here’s the pitch: Scoop Analytics transforms the way businesses deal with data.
We’ve built software that empowers anyone—even your Excel-wielding office superhero—to create stunning, live data presentations without needing a degree in rocket science or a dedicated data team.
We’re talking about AI-powered insights in a visually compelling format that makes stakeholders say:
“Wow, I get it now.”
No more fumbling with disconnected spreadsheets or static slides that go stale the second your data updates.
This isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the future.
The global big data market is projected to grow from $271.83 billion in 2022 to $655.53 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4%.
That’s a lot of data that businesses need to wrangle, and Scoop is here to help.
Brad Peters, our co-founder and CEO (and a guy who knows a thing or two about analytics from his Birst days), sums it up perfectly: “Our mission is to deliver data analytics in a form factor that doesn’t require a data team.”
Translation?
You don’t have to be a data wizard to tell a magical data story.
Big Data’s Boldest Innovators: CRN’s Hottest Startups of 2024
Ariga: Taking the Pain Out of Database Schema Changes
If you’ve ever groaned at the thought of database schema updates, Ariga feels your pain.
Their schema-as-code platform turns a traditionally tedious process into something engineers can handle with a few lines of code.
Their flagship tool, Atlas, and their framework for Go developers, ent.go, make database management a breeze. Founded in Tel Aviv, Ariga is helping developers focus on innovation, not grunt work.
DataPelago: Universal Data Processing for a Changing World
What happens when CPUs and legacy architectures can’t keep up with today’s data demands?
You call DataPelago.
Their “universal data processing engine” is like rocket fuel for analytical and AI workloads, built with GenAI and data lakehouses in mind.
CEO Rajan Goyal describes their hardware-software co-design as a complete rethinking of data infrastructure.
DataPelago’s focus on performance echoes Scoop’s ethos—fast, efficient tools mean better outcomes. Plus, their ability to handle huge datasets complements their user-friendly analytics for decision-makers.
DeasyLabs: Better Data for Better AI
AI models are only as good as their data, and DeasyLabs ensures yours is top-notch.
Their metadata orchestration platform injects quality and relevance into AI workflows, paving the way for smarter, safer AI applications.
They represent two sides of the AI coin—quality inputs and actionable outputs.
Diliko: Governing Data with Precision
Diliko’s cloud-native platform tackles the hard stuff: automating data governance, real-time synchronization, and advanced security.
Their zero-trust architecture and end-to-end encryption are tailor-made for complex, regulated industries like healthcare and finance.
Diliko dives deep into governance.
It’s a perfect example of how varied and complementary the big data ecosystem has become.
Dymium: Leave the Data Where It Is
Dymium’s platform cuts out the middleman—literally.
Instead of moving data into lakes or warehouses, they enable secure, real-time access “where it lives.”
With a zero-trust model and AI-powered transformation, they reduce the complexity and cost of data access.
Dymium simplifies access, they’re tackling two of the biggest bottlenecks in analytics—access and usability.
Mind: Preventing Data Loss with AI Smarts
Data leaks are a nightmare, and MIND is here to help you sleep better.
Their AI-driven platform monitors, identifies, and prevents leaks across every corner of your IT environment.
With tailored algorithms and a proprietary engine, Mind offers next-gen data loss prevention.
Mind’s granular approach to data safety complements their goal of empowering organizations to use data with confidence.
Data’s only as useful as it is secure.
MotherDuck: Small Data, Big Dreams
Who says big data tools are only for big companies?
MotherDuck’s serverless analytics platform combines the nimbleness of embedded databases with the scalability of the cloud.
Built on DuckDB, they’re bringing enterprise-grade analytics to the midmarket.
Onehouse: Ending Data Silos with Lakehouse Innovation
Onehouse takes the headache out of fragmented data.
Their managed lakehouse platform ingests data from anywhere and works with all query engines.
From Table Optimizer to vector embeddings, they’re building tools that make lakehouses smarter.
Onehouse simplifies data architecture.
They make “complexity” a thing of the past.
Unstructured: Turning Chaos into Clarity
With 80% of enterprise data stuck in unstructured formats, Unstructured’s platform is a lifesaver.
They convert messy documents and images into AI-ready formats, supporting large language models and vector databases.
Unstructured’s tools help AI and analytics systems (like Scoop) work with the data that matters most.
Why This Matters
Despite the explosion of BI tools, 88% of businesses still rely on spreadsheets for critical decision-making tasks.
Why?
Because they’re simple, familiar, and flexible.
But they’re also static and disconnected from live data.
That’s where Scoop Analytics shines—bridging the gap between simplicity and sophistication.
The brilliance of these other startups highlights an exciting truth: we’re in the midst of a big data renaissance.
From schema design to AI-driven prevention, the innovation on display underscores how critical data has become in shaping our future.
