Lightdash
Lightdash is an open-source business intelligence platform built natively on dbt.

Upriver
Upriver is an AI-native data engineering platform that connects to a company's full data stack - Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Airflow, dbt - then explores it, builds and validates pipelines, fixes them when they break, and encodes the tribal knowledge that usually lives in engineers' heads. Founded in 2024 by Talpiot graduates Ido Bronstein and Omri Lifshitz, the Tel Aviv company aims to make data infrastructure invisible so AI systems can run on a reliable data foundation without constant manual upkeep.

At Omni, he reunited with college friends Colin Zima and Jamie Davidson to build a BI platform that combines governed semantic modeling with the flexibility of ad-hoc SQL analysis, serving customers like BambooHR, Perplexity, and BuzzFeed.
