Under the mantra "search-based analytics for everyone," ThoughtSpot wants to eliminate the need for complex BI tools.

ThoughtSpot, founded in 2012 and based in Palo Alto, Calif., launched its appliance product in October 2014. Four months earlier in June, the startup raised $30 million in Series B financing.
