A consultancy, by practitioners
HOWABOUTDATA was founded at the end of 2024 to do data work the way it should be done—hands-on, business-aware, and built to last. We've since helped more than five U.S. healthcare companies modernize their data, and extended that work into the restaurant and manufacturing industries.

Why This Team
Our domain knowledge comes from a decade inside healthcare data—managing teams, building databases, and dealing with dirty data daily. The product vision comes from real pain, not market research.
Our engineering comes from building AI systems at billion-user scale. Representing database knowledge and enabling AI to reason over it is exactly that kind of problem.
