Continual is a San Francisco AI company building a platform for running business operations with agents. Founded by repeat ML founders Tristan Zajonc and Tyler Kohn, it launched in 2021 as a declarative machine-learning platform on the modern data stack, then pivoted into the AI copilot and agent era - letting teams connect their tools and data, automate workflows across agents and people, and turn repeatable processes into agent-powered applications. Backed by $18.5M+ from Innovation Endeavors, Amplify Partners and others.
Tristan Zajonc is the cofounder and CEO of Continual, a San Francisco-based AI agent platform enabling enterprises to automate complex workflows. A Harvard-trained public policy PhD turned serial AI entrepreneur, he previously founded Sense.io (acquired by Cloudera in 2016) and served as Cloudera's CTO for Machine Learning before pivoting back to founding. With over 15 years building machine learning infrastructure across academia and industry, Zajonc has been quietly shaping how enterprises operationalize AI - from SQL-driven ML pipelines to LLM-powered agents - long before it became fashionable.
