Basic Info
Ascend helps startups and scale-ups move faster by automating the heavy lifting in data engineering with AI. Instead of spending months building and maintaining data pipelines, teams use Ascend's agentic platform to generate, optimize, and manage their data infrastructure through natural language.
With Ascend your engineering team can connect to any data source, transform data into valuable insights, and deliver it anywhere across clouds - without spending hours orchestrating brittle pipelines, debugging failures, or manually optimizing performance, shipping new data products in hours instead of weeks.

Start free, scale as you grow
Start building immediately with Ascend's Developer Plan, and when you're ready to scale, upgrade seamlessly. Unlike legacy enterprise tools that require multi-year commitments and professional services teams, Ascend gets you to production fast.
More runway, less waste
Every dollar of runway matters. Ascend uses metadata to cut unnecessary compute—customers reduce operational overhead by up to 90%. Optimize from day one, not after you've burned through your Series A.

Reading from a Single Source of Data Truth with the New York Post
-
Understanding advertising information as well as how readers interact with digital content is crucial to the growth and success of the New York Post and its associated online properties. Already hyper-focused on building robust data pipelines to feed insight and analytics teams, the upcoming crackdown from Google on third-party cookie data in the Chrome browser accelerated the need to drive more data-driven personalization and engagement across the New York Post sites. The team at the New York Post needed to quickly create a scalable way to build data pipelines that power critical insights and changes for how readers and subscribers interact with digital content. As the Ascend Unified Data Engineering Platform was introduced to the team, which is composed of software engineers and project managers, they quickly realized that deploying an ETL platform using Ascend would dramatically accelerate their time to market and ability to continuously deliver new data streams.
