Why are we doing this?
The idea for Nekt came from a realization: many growing businesses are held back by their data.
We’ve seen it time and again. Companies want to embrace AI, make smarter decisions, and move faster—but they get stuck in the weeds of:
- Data scattered across disconnected systems.
- Unreliable pipelines that require constant maintenance.
- The high cost of building and scaling their data infrastructure.
For these businesses, data integration and preparation often feel overwhelming. Many hire consultants or patch together tools, only to face the same challenges a few months later.
We knew there had to be a better way.
Oh, and yes—we also had some personal motivations, but that’s a story for another post.
What problem are we solving?
We’re building a data intelligence platform, starting with the data fragmentation problem by simplifying data engineering.
The idea is for you to centralize, transform, and validate your data effortlessly—without the need for complex setups or large engineering teams.
Think of it as a simpler, more accessible alternative to modern data platforms like Databricks.

Why now?
We’re in a pivotal moment for businesses and data. As companies grow, they’re collecting more data than ever before, but managing it effectively is increasingly difficult. The rise of AI and advanced analytics has made data more valuable—but only if it’s reliable and accessible.
For many growing businesses:
- Data infrastructure struggles to keep up with increasing demands.
- AI initiatives stall because the underlying data isn’t trusted.
- Non-technical teams are left out of the data conversation, limiting collaboration and decision-making.
At the same time, the tools traditionally designed to address these challenges are often too complex or expensive for growing companies. That’s why now is the time to simplify data engineering, making it accessible to all teams and scalable for businesses of every size.
With Nekt, we’re addressing these challenges head-on, helping businesses evolve their data strategies without unnecessary complexity or cost.
