About Us

At Nextdata, we believe that decentralization is the key to unlocking the true potential of data. Our flagship product, Nextdata OS, is a data-mesh-native platform designed to tackle the challenges of decentralizing data at enterprise scale. We're pioneering a new way for developers to work with data, enabling them to share it responsibly through data product containers and empowering AI, machine learning, and analytics with decentralized, responsible, and equitable data ownership that transcends organizational, technological, and trust boundaries.

Our vision is to transform the experience of creating, sharing, discovering, and using data by adhering to data mesh principles, making this process more connected, faster, and fairer than ever before. We recognize that the world of data is complex and ever-changing: data models become outdated rapidly; data is owned across different trust boundaries; it's stored on various platforms; used in multiple modes; and data can't protect itself. Previous centralized approaches to data collection, modeling, and governance are not only ineffective but can also be unfair. That's why our technology empowers data developers, users, and owners with a delightful experience, treating data products as first-class primitives with built-in trust—we're reimagining the world of data.
