Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Ludis Analytics Inc. develops an end-to-end data science and analytics platform intended to cover the full workflow from data ingestion to insight consumption in a single environment. Core product areas are Datasets (upload, access and management of data from multiple sources in one secure location), Workflows (automated data-preparation and ingestion pipelines plus pre-cleaned datasets), Projects (developing algorithms, building applications, publishing reports and deploying data science models via an inline code editor), and Insights (published reports and interactive dashboards that teams and third-party partners can review, comment on and share).

The platform is packaged into tiers aimed at different skill levels — Explorer (uncovering insights from existing data), Targeter (visualizing data without coding), Publisher (building custom apps, aimed at BI analysts working in Python/R), and Automator (full data management and analysis) — spanning Excel users, managers/marketers, BI analysts and data scientists. Stated capabilities include running existing R or Python scripts synced from GitHub, managed deployment and hosting, encryption, secret keys and access control, admin management of users and permissions, per-usage rather than per-seat pricing, and turn-key professional services where the customer owns the delivered work. A newer AI-oriented capability is positioned around turning AI-generated code into published interactive applications and automated ETL pipelines.

Earlier press describes the platform as sports-first: a single collaborative environment for all data science functions, with access to reliable data sources and commonly needed analyses and algorithms feeding out-of-the-box applications and visualizations, so that coaches, analysts and management can work from the same data.

Founding story

CEO Vala Dormiani co-founded Ludis Analytics in 2019, motivated by an interest in sport and experience building data science solutions for specialist industries. The founding team combined backgrounds in predictive athlete performance, big-data analytics and scalable SaaS platforms to build an end-to-end data science platform. [2][3]

Business model

Software platform sold to organizations, with pricing described as transparent and based on usage needs rather than the number of users, complemented by turn-key professional services in which the customer retains ownership of delivered work. [0][1]

Platform plans/subscriptions plus optional services engagements; the company states there are no hidden fees and that customers pay for what they need rather than per user. [0][1]

Traction

Deployed in organizations across Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the United States, covering five distinct sports according to the company. Prior to its 2021 funding the company reported partnerships with basketball, rugby, cricket, AFL and netball teams in Australia, Japan and the US. Publicly cited users include Cricket New South Wales and a Stanford basketball coach. [2][3]

Latest developments

The company markets an AI capability for turning AI-generated code into published interactive applications and automated ETL pipelines, and published a comparison of scheduling and orchestration approaches ("Cron vs Airflow vs Ludis") in September 2025. It also lists open roles for fully remote positions. [0][1][2]

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history

Market position

Positioned as an end-to-end alternative to assembling separate tools for scheduling/ETL, code execution and dashboard publishing. Its 2021 lead investor characterized sports as an underserved market lacking a sports-specific platform to aggregate data from many sources and deliver out-of-the-box business intelligence, spanning fan engagement, sponsor activation and athlete performance data that had previously been analyzed in silos. [0][1][3]

Consolidation of ingestion, preparation, modeling, deployment and consumption in one place; support for existing R/Python code and GitHub syncing rather than requiring rewrite; product tiers spanning no-code to full programming; managed deployment that reduces hosting and engineering overhead; usage-based rather than per-seat pricing; and customer support via direct Slack access. [0][1]

Technology

A hosted environment combining data storage and connectors, automated data-preparation/ETL workflows, an inline code editor that executes existing R and Python scripts synced from GitHub, application and dashboard publishing/deployment, and AI-assisted conversion of generated code into interactive apps and automated pipelines. Security features cited are secret keys, encryption and access control, with admin-level user and data-permission management. [0][1]

Go-to-market

Direct sales through website contact and live demo requests, supported by customer testimonials, published blog content comparing Ludis to alternatives such as cron, Airflow and Posit, and partner/reseller-style relationships in sport (e.g., commentary from Vald Performance's CEO). Expansion has followed partnerships with elite sports teams before broadening into additional verticals. [0][1][3]

Data science and analytics teams inside organizations, including small teams without dedicated engineering resources. Named use-case segments are sports (performance, player selection, fan engagement) and business (customer insights, supply chain). User personas range from Excel users and managers/marketers to BI analysts using Python or R and data scientists. Referenced customers and users include Cricket New South Wales, a Stanford basketball coach, and partnerships with basketball, rugby, cricket, AFL and netball teams. [0][1][3]

Geography

Headquartered in San Francisco per 2021 coverage, with a fully remote workforce distributed across six countries and U.S. states, and customer deployments in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the United States. [2][3]

History

Founded in 2019 and initially focused on the sports industry, the company built partnerships with basketball, rugby, cricket, AFL and netball teams in Australia, Japan and the US, then raised $2 million in July 2021 led by Raptor Group to accelerate hiring, advance product development and expand into further sports and additional market verticals. It has since described deployments across Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the U.S. and broadened its positioning from sports to general business analytics. [0][1][2][3]
