What Gluetech does

Gluetech is a privately held US-based fintech software company founded in 2015 and headquartered in East Hampton, operating with 11-50 employees. The company sells a single product, dataprobes, a horizontal data provenance and governance platform that automates the real-time tracking of critical data as it moves through business processes. The platform combines a flexible metadata ingestion layer with runtime event processing, automatically reconciles data assets at the process level, applies machine learning for real-time anomaly detection, and uses blockchain-derived concepts to generate tamper-proof evidence for audits. It produces automated compliance reports and integrates with Business Intelligence tools.

The underlying technology is differentiated by its open metadata architecture (ingesting lineage from other tools plus process, DQ, and DC metadata), automatic end-to-end data tracking configured at the process level, and a real-time transparency layer that surfaces probable incidents before they escalate. Strategic partnerships with Collibra (core), Lightbend, Lucidworks, and D2IQ anchor the platform within the enterprise data governance and cloud-native stack.

Gluetech operates an enterprise-focused, consultative direct sales motion targeting Chief Data Officers and regulated industries (financial services cited explicitly). Revenue is generated through a recurring subscription model for the dataprobes platform paired with implementation and data strategy services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagement begins with project discovery consultations. The company has raised one seed-stage funding round (December 2018, led by Hatcher+, with Capital Innovators and Quake Capital Partners) and has no disclosed revenue, named customers, or subsequent financing rounds in the available data.

Core offering

Gluetech fundamentally sells "dataprobes," a horizontal software platform that automates real-time data traceability by combining metadata control models with runtime data and applying machine learning and blockchain-inspired concepts to produce tamper-proof evidence. It is designed for Chief Data Offices and regulated enterprises that need continuous visibility into how critical data is created, transformed, and consumed across business processes.

Product overview

Gluetech offers a single unified product called dataprobes, a data provenance platform that automates tracking of critical data through business processes. The platform consists of integrated modules for metadata control (ingesting and managing metadata from any source), data tracking (automatic end-to-end process-level monitoring), end-to-end transparency (real-time event processing), and automated compliance reporting (using blockchain concepts for tamper-proof evidence). The platform also incorporates machine learning for real-time pattern analysis and anomaly detection to prevent probable incidents.

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Great Expectations: Great Expectations is an open-source data quality and validation framework widely adopted by data engineering teams. It addresses adjacent data trust and validation use cases that overlap with Gluetech's compliance and data-tracking positioning.
• Bigeye: Bigeye is a data observability and quality platform with anomaly detection and lineage features for enterprise data pipelines. It overlaps with Gluetech's ML-based real-time detection and serves similar data engineering buyers.

Broad incumbents

• Informatica: Informatica is a large incumbent in data integration and governance, with broad lineage, catalog, and quality capabilities across enterprise data estates. It competes with Gluetech at the high end of regulated-industry deployments through its CLAIRE engine and governance suite.
• Talend: Talend (now part of Qlik) provides data integration, quality, and governance capabilities including lineage across enterprise data environments. Its broad platform competes with Gluetech at the governance and metadata layer in larger accounts.

Direct peers

• Octopai: Octopai is a data lineage and metadata automation platform specifically focused on cross-platform data discovery and governance. Its narrow focus on automated lineage for regulated enterprises makes it one of the closest direct competitors to Gluetech's dataprobes.
• data.world: data.world is a data catalog and metadata management platform built on a knowledge graph, offering lineage and governance for enterprise data teams. It targets similar CDO buyer personas with comparable cataloging and governance capabilities.
• Alation: Alation is a data catalog and governance platform with strong enterprise penetration in regulated industries. Its metadata management and lineage features overlap directly with Gluetech's dataprobes offering for CDO buyers.
• Monte Carlo: Monte Carlo is a leading data observability platform with lineage and anomaly detection capabilities for data pipelines. Its real-time monitoring and ML-based detection position it as a closely comparable peer for dataprobes' runtime provenance approach.
• Collibra: Collibra is the leading enterprise data governance and catalog platform, offering data lineage, metadata management, and stewardship. Gluetech partners with Collibra but also competes against its lineage capabilities with its real-time dataprobes platform.
• Atlan: Atlan is a modern data catalog and lineage platform with active, column-level lineage and collaboration features. It targets similar Chief Data Office buyers and competes with Gluetech in the metadata and lineage space.
