Collate
Collate is the company behind OpenMetadata, the fast-growing open source project for unified data discovery, observability, and governance. Founded by Apache open source veterans Suresh Srinivas and Sriharsha Chintalapani, Collate layers AI agents, automation, and enterprise support on top of an open metadata 'context layer' so data teams - and the AI models they feed - can find, understand, trust, and govern their data. The company raised a $10M Series A led by Venrock in July 2025.
