Why use Daydream?

Daydream is the BI tool built for CROs, Ops, Execs, and Founders.

Until now, you've had to choose between many fragmented tools, point solutions, & spreadsheets or technical-feeling, data-only BI tools that are confusing for business users & don't support collaboration or context. No good options.

We let you connect your data with context & discussion in an intuitive, self-serve interface. You get faster insights, faster action, and less overhead:

  • Drive accountability & better decisions: Collaborate with your team inline

  • A single pane of glass for your business: Connect all your tools directly, or your data warehouse. Smash the silos.

  • Data meets words: Context and discussion is what makes your data meaningful — and allow you to drive accountability + better decisions

  • Intuitive and self-serve: Feels like a doc meets a spreadsheet
