Hex is a data analytics platform built on Python, SQL, and DuckDB, with OpenAI and Anthropic integrated for natural language querying. The company is sales-led (18 of 29 active roles) and actively scaling SDR infrastructure—evident in three separate projects around SDR function scaling and sales playbooks—while engineering capacity (7 roles) lags behind revenue-motion needs. This hiring imbalance, paired with internal pain points around scaling automation and GTM processes, suggests they're at a typical Series B inflection point: product-market fit in place, infrastructure and revenue systems straining.

Go-to-market is sales-driven, with active investment in SDR scaling, sales methodology, and demo projects.
