About Skippr
Paul Hudson
Founder · 20 years building data systems for businesses that can't afford a wrong number
Most growing businesses already have the data: accounts, CRM, ads and ops. What they lack is one number everyone trusts — and the time to get it.
Paul Hudson built Skippr so owners get the answers a data department would give, without having to build one.
Where the experience comes from
Twenty years leading engineering in startups and large organisations where the numbers had to be right.
- Architected and deployed the cloud data platform at Drvn Solutions.
- Led a new platform deployment live across 65 stations, 2 London hub stations and GA trains.
- Built the platform and engineering team behind venture-backed CloudCycle through rapid growth.
- Trusted with data and cloud platforms at the AA, UBS and NRMA.
- 100+ software projects shipped; founded and ran a software company.
The same problem, at every size
Whether it is a bank or a 20-person wholesaler, the first months of every data project go on connecting systems, cleaning up mismatched data, and arguing over whose spreadsheet is right.
Big companies pay a data team to do this for months. SMEs and startups cannot wait that long or carry that cost.
How Skippr evolved to solve it
Skippr started as Paul's own tool for doing that groundwork reliably. It grew into a full suite: connecting the systems you already run, keeping up when they change, and modelling the numbers you use to run the business.
- Numbers do not silently break when a system changes.
- Nothing gets double-counted or lost.
- It is light: runs on your own setup or managed by Skippr, with no new software for the team to learn.
AI speeds up the modelling. Paul and your team review the output, and you own everything that gets built.
What that means for you
- Working insights in weeks, not a six-month programme.
- Keep the systems you already use.
- No data team to hire first.
- Read-only access to start; you own the models and reports.
Large companies have a data department. Skippr can be yours.
