Polymer

What Polymer does

Polymer (legally Polymer Search) is a New York-based, privately held software company founded in 2019 that operates an AI-powered embedded analytics platform. The platform enables users to build no-code dashboards, generate AI-driven visualizations, embed white-labeled charts into third-party applications via API, and query data through a conversational natural-language interface (Polymer AI Chat). Its product portfolio is organized around four core offerings — Dashboard Creator, AI Dashboard Generator, Embedded Analytics, and Conversational AI — supplemented by pre-built templates targeting e-commerce, marketing, and sales use cases, and supported by a broad native integration catalog spanning Shopify, Google Analytics, Facebook Ads, Google Ads, Google Sheets, Jira, Linear, and Zendesk, with additional connectors (Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Amazon Ads, Airtable) on the stated roadmap.

The company's go-to-market is bifurcated: a product-led growth motion with self-serve sign-up and 7-14 day free trials at a $25/month entry price point targeting individual users and SMBs, layered with an API-first embedded-analytics offering at $500/month (and custom enterprise pricing) targeting developers and product teams who want to embed Polymer's visualization engine into their own applications. Named customers include enterprise brands such as Lenovo, EY, Spotify, Adobe, GSK, Merck, HP, and Facebook alongside SMB case-study users (Causal IQ, Data Elixir, YourPPCpro, Baldwin Aviation, QUILT.AI), spanning e-commerce, agencies, in-house marketing teams, and embedded product use cases. Distribution is primarily digital — SEO-driven content (comparison pages, blog, guides), organic social, developer documentation, and template previews — with a dedicated enterprise sales motion for larger accounts.

Polymer has raised $4 million in a single disclosed priced round in August 2021 (Series A, led by Sierra Ventures with Vela Partners), following earlier participation from Oceans, WestWave Capital, and Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Yasser Ansari, operates with an 11-50 person team, and reports no acquisitions, leadership changes, or publicly disclosed revenue figures.

Core offering

Polymer is an AI-driven embedded analytics platform that enables users to build dashboards, run conversational data queries, and embed white-labeled visualizations into their own applications. The platform combines a no-code drag-and-drop Dashboard Creator with an AI Dashboard Generator, Polymer AI Chat (conversational analytics), and a REST API for embedded use cases. It targets enterprises, e-commerce businesses, marketing agencies, and in-house marketing teams with native integrations to Shopify, Google Analytics, Facebook Ads, Google Ads, Google Sheets, Jira, Linear, Zendesk, and more.

Product overview

Polymer is an AI-driven embedded analytics platform that offers a unified suite of four core products: Dashboard Creator (no-code drag-and-drop dashboard builder with 20+ chart types), AI Dashboard Generator (automated dashboard creation powered by AI), Embedded Analytics (white-label embeddable charts and visualizations for applications), and Conversational AI (natural language querying that transforms questions into visualizations). The platform is complemented by pre-built templates for E-commerce, Marketing, and Sales use cases. Polymer positions itself as a no-code solution enabling non-technical users to build beautiful dashboards without coding or design skills, while offering API access for developers to embed analytics programmatically.
