AI data startup WisdomAI has raised another $50M, led by Kleiner, Nvidia | TechCrunch

"WisdomAI, the new AI data analytics startup from Rubrik co-founder Soham Mazumdar, has landed a fresh $50 million Series A led by Kleiner Perkins with participation from new investor NVentures (Nvidia's venture capital arm). This round comes roughly six months after the startup announced a seed round of $23 million led by Coatue. WisdomAI offers AI-driven data analytics that can answer business questions from structured, unstructured, and even "dirty" data, meaning data that hasn't been cleaned of typos or errors."

"But the company is using a clever method to eliminate the LLM hallucination problem. WisdomAI is not using LLMs to write answers to questions. Instead, LLMs are only used to write the query - the part that will go out to a data warehouse to retrieve data. So if the LLM hallucinates, it will simply write an ineffective query rather than inventing false answers."

"Since formally launching in late 2024, WisdomAI has grown from two enterprise customers to around 40 enterprise customers, CEO Mazumdar says. WisdomAI counts such companies like Descope, ConocoPhillips, Cisco, and Patreon as customers. Mazumdar said the young company is also growing usage within its enterprise customers. Some customers have doubled usage within two months. Another customer started with 10 seats and expanded to 450, which is almost everyone in the company, he said."

WisdomAI secured a $50 million Series A led by Kleiner Perkins with participation from NVentures after a $23 million seed round. The platform answers business questions from structured, unstructured, and "dirty" data via natural-language queries. LLMs generate only the data-warehouse queries rather than final answers, limiting hallucination risk by preventing fabricated results. The company developed an enterprise context layer to model and understand customer data. All co-founders previously worked at Rubrik, bringing enterprise storage expertise. Customer count rose from two to around 40 since late 2024, with notable seat and usage expansion within accounts.
