What Sisense does
Sisense is a privately held AI-powered embedded analytics software company founded in 2004 in Israel and headquartered in New York City, with additional offices in Tel Aviv and London. It sells the Sisense Fusion platform to enterprises, SaaS product teams, and regulated industries that need to embed analytics directly inside their own applications rather than deliver them as a standalone BI tool. The platform combines a proprietary in-memory analytical engine (ElastiCube), 200+ native data connectors with live-connection support for Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, and Azure Synapse, a multi-tenant architecture with column-level security and SSO, and a code-first developer toolkit (Compose SDK) that supports TypeScript, React, Angular, and Vue. The Sisense Intelligence suite layers GenAI capabilities on top of this foundation, including a conversational Assistant for natural-language dashboard creation, Narrative for plain-language chart summaries, a Model Context Protocol server that exposes governed data models to external AI agents, and a Managed LLM service with a usage-based Sisense Credits consumption pool.
Sisense makes money through three primary revenue streams: (1) quote-based enterprise subscriptions with multi-year contracts, HIPAA-ready compliance, multi-tenant isolation, a 99.99% premium SLA, and a dedicated customer success manager; (2) OEM and white-label licensing to SaaS providers who embed Sisense analytics into their own products, which reportedly accounted for approximately 60% of new contract value in 2025; and (3) a self-serve subscription tier launched in March 2026 via app.sisense.com with a 7-day free trial, aimed at startups and growing teams. A fourth, emerging stream is usage-based consumption of Sisense Credits for the Managed LLM. Distribution is multi-channel: direct enterprise field sales, product-led self-serve, a 25+ partner implementation/reseller network, and strategic technology alliances with AWS, Snowflake, and Databricks.
The customer base spans large enterprises such as Wix, Philips, PagerDuty, Seismic, GE HealthCare, Skullcandy, Hastings Mutual, Credit Clear, Bigtincan, Cropin, Clari, and Orion, alongside mid-market customers like iQuantiv, Funraise, Hive, and Barrios. Geographic revenue mix is approximately 55% North America and 30% EMEA, with growing presence in APAC and Latin America, and customer acquisition is reported at approximately 25% year-over-year growth in Healthcare and FinTech verticals. The company is backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, Battery, DFJ Growth, Insight Partners, and Opus Capital, with total disclosed venture funding of approximately $274M and an acquisition of Periscope Data in May 2019. Its current CEO is Ariel Katz, a former Microsoft executive who led the establishment of Power BI.
