Since 2017, Lovelytics has helped some of the most complex enterprises in Media & Entertainment, Manufacturing, Retail & CPG, Healthcare & Life Sciences, and Financial Services actually modernize their data and put AI to work — not in a deck, but in production. We move fast, stay close to the cutting edge, and care more about outcomes than optics.

We're the first consulting firm backed by Databricks Ventures — which tells you something about how seriously we take the technology we build on. Alongside Interlock Equity, that backing has helped us grow from 50 to 500+ people in three years, while keeping the technical depth and low-ego culture that makes the work worth doing.
