# Parabola

> Parabola is a San Francisco-based no-code data automation platform that lets operations and finance teams turn messy, recurring, spreadsheet-driven processes into transparent, auditable AI-powered workflows. Users describe a process in plain language or drag-and-drop building blocks, and Parabola builds a documented agent that pulls data from PDFs, emails, spreadsheets and APIs, cleans and transforms it, and runs on a schedule. Founded by Alex Yaseen and backed by OpenView, Matrix, and Thrive Capital, the company focuses on ecommerce, retail, CPG, freight and logistics teams that need to automate work that traditionally required an engineer.
