Meridian Industries

Meridian Industries is an independent software company specializing in business analytics solutions. Founded around 2021–2022 by Xavier Pladevall and Eduardo Portet, the company is headquartered in San Francisco, though the exact address remains undisclosed. Their mission centers on making data analytics both accessible and user-friendly, addressing the complexity often associated with traditional business intelligence tools. To achieve this, Meridian Industries developed Index, a modern SaaS business analytics platform designed to empower teams across various business functions through intuitive and collaborative data exploration.

Index is offered via a freemium SaaS model, allowing users to start for free and scale with per-seat pricing. The platform targets small and medium-sized businesses, including startups, SaaS companies, agencies, as well as non-technical business teams such as operations, product managers, and marketers. Meridian Industries operates with a small, dedicated engineering team and maintains close communication with users to refine the product. Notably, the company has not publicly announced any substantial external funding rounds beyond its participation in Y Combinator, indicating a product-focused and possibly bootstrapped business approach.
