GrowthLoop
GrowthLoop is an agentic, composable customer data platform (CDP) that runs directly on a company's cloud data warehouse - Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks or Redshift - so marketing teams can build audiences, orchestrate journeys, and measure results without copying data into a separate system. Formerly Flywheel Software, the company pitches a 'Compound Marketing Engine' that pairs a no-code, drag-and-drop audience builder with AI 'Growth Agents' that suggest segments, build journeys, and optimize campaigns. It serves large enterprises including Ford, Costco, Albertsons, NerdWallet and major sports organizations.
AI Squared
AI Squared is an enterprise AI integration company that helps organizations move machine learning and generative AI out of pilots and into the tools employees already use - CRMs, ERPs, spreadsheets, and custom apps. Its platform connects governed data sources like Databricks and Snowflake to business applications, addressing the 'last mile' problem that keeps most AI projects from reaching production. The company serves financial institutions, supply chain firms, and U.S. government agencies, and stewards the open-source reverse ETL project Multiwoven.
Polytomic
Polytomic is a San Francisco data-movement company that unifies ETL, Reverse ETL, and CDC streaming in a single platform, letting teams keep data warehouses, databases, and SaaS tools in sync without maintaining brittle one-off pipelines. Founded in 2019 by former PlanGrid engineers Ghalib Suleiman and Nathan Yergler and backed by Y Combinator, it pairs a no-code interface for business teams with SQL, monitoring, and infrastructure-as-code controls for data engineers.
Ghalib Suleiman
Ghalib Suleiman is the CEO and co-founder of Polytomic, a San Francisco data-integration company that lets teams sync data between databases, warehouses, business systems like Salesforce and Stripe, spreadsheets, and arbitrary HTTP APIs without writing custom pipelines. He built the company with CTO Nathan Yergler after running the data team at PlanGrid during its growth from 25 to 350 people and its near-billion-dollar sale to Autodesk. Polytomic went through Y Combinator's Winter 2020 batch, pivoted during the program, and raised a $2.4M seed, winning early customers including Brex, Vanta, Sourcegraph, and ShipBob.
Hightouch

Since launching AI Decisioning in 2024, Hightouch has evolved into an agentic marketing platform, helping brands like Warner Music Group, Chime, PetSmart, and Spotify orchestrate personalized customer journeys using live warehouse data. The company reached $100M ARR and a $2.75B valuation in April 2026, backed by Goldman Sachs, Bain Capital Ventures, and Sapphire Ventures.
