Squadbase Community Meetup #0 in Tokyo

We're hosting a community event, Squadbase Community Meetup #0, on September 30 in Marunouchi, Tokyo. It's a pre-event celebrating Squadbase Public Beta, which launched on August 31, 2026. Admission is free.

On the day, we'll share the product vision and roadmap, hear real usage sessions from companies actively using Squadbase, and close with a networking session. If you already use Squadbase, or you'd simply like to put data to work in your job, or make AI-powered data analysis feel less out of reach, we'd love to see you there.

Making it normal to work with data

At most companies, data keeps piling up, but turning it into something usable still takes specialized skills and tools. Many teams can't get the answer they need when they need it. We built Squadbase so that people without that specialized background could analyze and visualize data through plain-language conversation instead.

Squadbase Community exists for the same reason: to help people who aren't data specialists find meaning in their data and turn it into everyday decisions and actions. Members share how they actually use Squadbase, along with what they've learned. Meetup #0 is the pre-event for that community, timed to Public Beta.
