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.

Mike Palmer is the CEO of Sigma Computing, a San Francisco cloud analytics company that lets business users query data warehouses through a spreadsheet interface. He took the seat in May 2020 from co-founder Rob Woollen and has since scaled Sigma past $100M ARR, through a $200M Series D and a Series E that valued the company at roughly $3B.
