A new era for Hex, and data
Summary
Hex announces Hex 4.0, a complete rewrite aimed at an agent-native analytics future, alongside a $100 million fundraising round at a $1.2B valuation. The post argues for a code-centric data platform that enables broader, context-rich data work beyond traditional BI, backed by a slate of investors and a clear shift away from legacy BI paradigms. The company emphasizes the benefits of a unified, code-first stack and outlines future product directions and go-to-market plans.
