Cloud-Based, Non-Techie Data Wrangling App Silk Launches Its First Paid Product For Teams, Gets An Extra $1.6M From NEA

silk for teamsSince Silk first came out of stealth mode in 2011, there have been 300,000 interactive pages created on itscloud-based, web data-crunching platform designed for non-technical "knowledge workers". Taking less easy-to-read data sets and making them more digestible, results have ranged from the Guardian newspaper in the UK creating graphics of which countries have the most asylum seekers, through to charting what products Google has killed and dads mapping out the best playgrounds for his kid in Amsterdam (where Silk also happens to be founded). It's been a popular, and free, tool, with pages created by some 16,000 peoplegrowing by 20% each month. Now, Silk is moving on to its next phase: its first paid product, Silk for Teams, aimed at groups of enterprise users who want to use the platform to produce cleaner internal data sets, and eventually to create data visualizations that work with paywalls.
