Promethium
Promethium is a Menlo Park-based enterprise data company that builds an Instant Data Fabric - an agentic platform designed to give business users, analysts, and AI agents trusted, self-service access to data across hundreds of sources without first moving or centralizing it. Its federated query engine, 360 Context Engine, and conversational data-answer agent Mantra translate natural-language questions into governed SQL, metadata, lineage, and visualizations. Founded in 2018 by Kaycee Lai and now led by CEO Prat Moghe, the company has raised about $34.5 million to date, including a $26 million Series A led by Insight Partners.
WisdomAI
WisdomAI is a San Mateo-based enterprise software company building a new category it calls agentic analytics. Founded in 2023 by a team of former Rubrik engineers, its platform lets business users ask questions of their structured, unstructured, and even messy data in plain language. Rather than letting a language model write answers (where it might hallucinate), WisdomAI uses LLMs only to generate the queries that pull real data from warehouses like Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery. An Adaptive Context Engine governs metrics, definitions, permissions, and business logic so insights stay accurate and consistent. The company has raised $73M total and grown from two enterprise customers to roughly 40, including Cisco, ConocoPhillips, Patreon, and Descope.
Sigma
Sigma is a cloud-native analytics and business intelligence company that lets anyone explore live data from cloud warehouses like Snowflake, Databricks and BigQuery through a familiar spreadsheet-style interface - no SQL required. Now pivoting into 'agentic analytics,' Sigma layers no-code AI agents on top of governed warehouse data so business teams can ask questions, build apps and trigger actions directly against the data, with security and governance intact.
Hex
Hex is a San Francisco-based AI analytics platform founded in 2020 by former Palantir employees Barry McCardel, Caitlin Colgrove, and Glen Takahashi. The company builds an integrated workspace where data teams and business users can analyze data, build interactive apps, and share insights using SQL, Python, and natural language — all in one place. With $177M in total funding including a $70M Series C in May 2025, Hex serves over 1,500 organizations including Reddit, Figma, Anthropic, Brex, and the NBA, replacing fragmented tool stacks with a single governed platform powered by AI agents.
