Seattle Data Guy

What Seattle Data Guy does

Seattle Data Guy is a privately held, founder-operated data consulting firm established in 2017 by Ben Rogojan, based in Seattle, Washington. The firm delivers end-to-end data infrastructure and analytics consulting, covering data strategy, cloud data warehouse and lakehouse implementation (across Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift), ETL/ELT pipeline engineering using dbt and Airflow, data infrastructure audits, and data science solutions including fraud detection, dynamic pricing, and patient segmentation models. Its ten distinct service offerings are built on third-party modern data stack tooling rather than proprietary software, positioning the firm as a systems integration and advisory practice rather than a product company.

The business operates on a quote-based professional services model, engaging clients on both one-time project and ongoing consulting bases. Customers span small businesses (e.g., Beeline), mid-market and enterprise organizations (e.g., AuthenticID, Trinity Investors), and additional verticals including private equity, start-ups, casinos, e-commerce, and healthcare. Go-to-market relies on content-led demand generation through a long-running technical blog, a YouTube channel (@SeattleDataGuy), and a Substack newsletter, supplemented by direct outreach and free initial consultations booked via Calendly. A strategic partnership with Acheron Analytics extends delivery capacity into custom data science and executive mediation work.

With 1–10 employees and no disclosed funding or institutional capital, Seattle Data Guy functions as a micro-consultancy anchored on the founder's brand and content presence. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed; the firm generates fees through professional services engagements, with no SaaS, licensing, or productized offering revenue streams evident in available data.
