Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Voyance operates a data engineering and data science platform intended to shorten the path between raw business data and analytical use. Its documentation describes a product that allows data engineers, data scientists and non-technical users to ingest, transform and store data in a cloud warehouse for reporting, business intelligence and machine learning, without writing code. Customers can connect legacy systems, data silos and databases, and apply transformation steps such as wrangling, filtering, grouping and de-duplication before loading results into a cloud warehouse.

The platform is organised around projects (where users build and manage workflows, run an entire workflow graph and preview table data), jobs, and clusters (with creation, autoscaling, scheduling and process management). Access is gated through an invite request on the platform's web application.

In 2022 the company was described as a data science business that unifies data engineering, machine learning and business processes for companies, and it introduced two products: Manhattan DB, a fully managed data infrastructure offering positioned for storing and analysing data at gigabyte-to-petabyte scale and for building and deploying machine learning models; and Sigma, a risk operations platform aimed at transaction monitoring, compliance and anti-money laundering use cases.

Founding story

Press coverage states that Voyance was founded in 2019 by Ebot Tabi, with the stated aim of making data science accessible to businesses in order to accelerate innovation by unifying data engineering, machine learning and business processes.

Business model
