About Census 🔁

Census is a unified data platform built on your cloud data warehouse. With Census, data teams at companies like Canva, Figma, and Rippling can sync data across 200+ business apps using our Reverse ETL. Ultimately we empower every company to build better workflow automation.

Backed by a16z , Sequoia, Tiger Global & Insight; we're a hybrid team headquartered in San Francisco that loves taking annoying problems most people avoid and building elegant solutions for them. We believe that data should be used for more than just making charts. This is why we invented integrations that work directly from cloud data warehouses.
