About us: Parabola is the spreadsheet alternative where you combine the data running throughout your company and create automated processes. Pull in data from any source you can imagine—from scattered spreadsheets and tools, to emails and PDFs—and build logic that replicates the manual work you do every day. Use our canvas to combine and transform your data, and surface the results to the right people at the right time so you can do more with the data you rely on. In the process, you’ll codify the steps for every workflow you manage so they become repeatable, shareable, and usable for the whole team. Create solutions for the problems you’ve always wanted to solve, and make your work more shareable and impactful along the way.
