About us:
Parabola is a workflow builder that makes it easy to organize and transform messy data from anywhere—even PDFs, emails, and spreadsheets—so that forward-thinking teams can automate the work they thought would always be manual.
Teams at fast-moving companies like Brooklinen, On Running, and Flexport use Parabola to save hundreds of hours and finally take on the projects that used to feel out of reach. Whether it’s reconciling inventory across multiple 3PLs, auditing invoices, or manually exporting the same report every Monday, Parabola gives teams the power to automate it—all without needing engineering support.
Parabola is backed by OpenView Partners, Matrix Partners, Thrive Capital and more.

To help close the the productivity inequality gap, we're starting with knowledge workers (e.g. marketing, sales, operations) and enabling them to increase their productivity leverage and become self-sufficient.
