Polymer

Polymer (Polymer Search) provides embedded analytics that software companies integrate into their own products. The offering centers on an API that lets developers connect a data warehouse or database and render charts, graphs, dashboards and reports inside their application with a small amount of code. The interface is white-labeled, allowing customers to match fonts, colors and logos to their own brand, and user permissions can be automated through the API for access control.

Product capabilities described by the company include AI-assisted data storytelling, in which the system builds visualizations and surfaces insights automatically; pre-built report templates; and a self-serve exploration playground for end users. Beyond direct API connections, Polymer offers direct connectors to advertising platforms, e-commerce systems and web analytics tools (named integrations include Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Google Analytics 4, Linear and CSV upload), and supports ingestion via third-party ETL services such as Windsor.ai and Dataddo.

The company frames its broader mission as no-code data access — giving non-technical business users the ability to explore, visualize and present data without SQL or statistical training, described as "a Google for your own data." Its stated product pillars are no-code accessibility, speed of working with data, and interface design.

Founding story

The about page names two founders. Ash Gupta, co-founder, was previously tech lead for machine learning at Google AdWords and a quant developer for algorithmic options trading at D. E. Shaw in New York; he says the difficulty large advertisers had with data-driven marketing, and the requirement for SQL and statistics skills, motivated him to create Polymer Search. Yasser Ansari, co-founder and CEO, came from product management at Qualcomm's Qchat group, later founded the consultancy Specialist Design (working with Google, Pinterest, Robinhood and Y Combinator and Techstars startups) and earlier an edtech company that became a joint venture with National Geographic; he holds a master's degree from NYU's ITP, is adjunct faculty there, mentors at NYU's Entrepreneurial Institute, is a founding member of Tech@NYU and holds seven patents.
