Value proposition

Enables B2B SaaS product teams to ship interactive, customer-facing dashboards and AI data agents in hours instead of months, proving product value to customers without diverting engineering resources from core development.

Products and solutions

AI-native embedded analytics platform combining browser-native dashboards (built on Mosaic open-source framework) with AI data agents that let end users ask questions in natural language, SOC 2 Type II compliant

Unique value

Browser-native architecture (DuckDB + WebAssembly) processes data locally on the client side, delivering sub-second interactivity on million-row datasets without server-side compute costs for the SaaS provider — combined with AI data agents that answer natural language follow-up questions.

Target customer

B2B SaaS product teams who need to embed analytics and data insights into their customer-facing products to demonstrate value, improve retention, and unblock revenue.

Industries served

B2B SaaS (horizontal — any software company with customer-facing data needs)

Technology advantage

Built on Mosaic open-source framework (created by co-founder Jeff Heer) using DuckDB + WebAssembly for browser-native data processing; AI data agents powered by LLMs for natural language querying; no server-side compute costs; sub-second interactivity on large datasets; SOC 2 Type II compliant

How they differentiate

Unlike legacy embedded analytics tools (Looker, Sisense, Domo) that require server-side processing and incur compute costs per query, Ridge processes data natively in the browser via DuckDB + WebAssembly, eliminating cloud infrastructure costs. The platform is built by the creators of D3.js, Vega, and Mosaic — the foundational technologies of modern data visualization — giving them unique technical depth. AI data agents are natively integrated, not bolted on.

Main competitors

Looker (Google), Sisense, Domo, ThoughtSpot
