Gorilla Capital invests in DSharp

Gorilla Capital Fund III has made its 45th investment in DSharp Oy, a Finnish data automation company helping organizations turn fragmented analytics into a reusable, trusted foundation for decision-making and AI.

Most organizations don’t lack data — they lack clarity and reuse.

The same KPIs, definitions, and metrics are rebuilt again and again across teams, tools, and reports. Over time, no one fully trusts the numbers, and analytics becomes slow, expensive, and fragile. AI only amplifies this problem when it’s built on unclear or inconsistent data foundations.

DSharp solves this by making analytics genuinely reusable — without requiring companies to rebuild their existing data platforms.

At the core of the solution is DSharp Studio, a model-driven, business-oriented, low-code automation foundation. It connects business definitions, metrics, and data flows into a single shared structure, ensuring the same logic is reused consistently across reports, analytics tools, and AI applications.

Building on this, DSharp Scout brings definitions, context, and data meaning directly into users’ everyday tools. By combining models, metadata, and existing data warehouse structures, Scout helps organizations understand, trust, and reuse analytics — and ensures that AI is built on a reliable, business-owned data foundation.

DSharp adapts to the customer’s starting point:

• For organizations without a data platform, DSharp applies a model-first approach that guides platform implementation correctly from day one.
• For organizations with an existing data platform, DSharp builds on what’s already there by clarifying metrics, adding business-friendly models, and making analytics easier to trust and reuse.

The result is shared ownership of definitions, faster analytics delivery, fewer errors, and a scalable foundation for analytics and AI — built on existing data investments.

“Moving from AI experiments to real business impact requires that organizations can provide AI with data that is reliable, consistent, and reusable from within the organization itself,” says Tero-Matti Kinanen, co-founder and CEO of DSharp.

“Without data automation based on modeling, the AI transformation is unlikely to move forward. We’re excited to work with Gorilla Capital as we help organizations build a solid foundation for analytics and AI that actually delivers value.”

”DSharp addresses a central execution gap in analytics and AI,” says Petri Lehmuskoski, Partner at Gorilla Capital. “Organizations invest heavily in data platforms, yet still struggle to scale analytics in a way that business teams can truly trust and reuse. DSharp turns existing data assets into a shared, business-owned foundation that enables faster, more reliable delivery. This is exactly the kind of capital-efficient, problem-first company we like to back.”

Gorilla Capital is happy to support DSharp on their journey and look forward to working closely with the team as they their continue their focused learning towards product-market-fit. Gorilla Partners is pleased to partner with Netprofile Growth Plus Oy, Inosto Oy, Sustainer Oy and Monttu Ventures Oy,as co-investors joining this round.
