Guandata
观远数据
Guandata (观远数据) is a China-based business-intelligence platform founded by CEO Su Chunyuan, who has described its mission as "让业务用起来 让决策更智能" — roughly, "put analytics in the hands of business users and make decisions smarter" . The company positions itself as a "modern BI" provider, moving beyond static reporting toward self-service analytics that operations teams can actually use day-to-day .
Linear Capital, which backed Guandata at an early stage, lists it alongside Horizon Robotics and Rokid in its portfolio of data-intelligence bets . A notable deployment came in 2022 when Bank of Ningbo partnered with Guandata to build an intelligent data-analytics platform, aiming to close the gap between "business people who don't understand tech and tech people who don't understand business" . Guandata's platform 5.0, released that same year, leaned on cloud-native, big-data and AI-infused architecture to serve large enterprises with complex, high-volume workloads .
