Erik Kuld

Erik Kuld is the co-founder and CEO of Inventive, a San Francisco startup that embeds a conversational AI analyst directly inside enterprise software so customers can ask for custom reports and insights in plain language. A Harvard molecular biology graduate who pivoted into product marketing at Box, Google, and Looker, Kuld launched Inventive out of stealth in June 2024 with a $6.5M seed round led by Wing VC. He pitches a simple promise to product teams: ship smarter customer-facing analytics in weeks, not quarters.
