About Validio

Validio provides the Data Trust Platform to help companies maximize return on data & AI investments—taking data observability past its early experiments by unifying deep data observability, quality, lineage, and catalog. The Data Trust Platform is built to help companies overcome data debt; the number one reason why data & AI projects fail. The platform helps data teams and business stakeholders jointly prioritize, validate, and improve their most business critical data assets. Validio is used by world leading companies including Truecaller, OfferFit, AB CarVal, and Voi.

Too many companies struggle to see return on data and AI investments, caused by a lack of prioritization among data assets. We believe that the key to faster data and AI implementation is to prioritize, validate and improve the data that actually matters to the business. For data to be useful, it needs to be trusted—both by business users and data teams.

Here, you will work with a senior team of data- and engineering professionals with backgrounds from renowned research institutions, leading startups, and established tech companies including Stanford, McKinsey, Google, and Harvard. Named as one of the hottest start-ups in Stockholm by publications such as Wired, Validio is gearing up for expansion, and now you can be part of our journey!
