About

Ido Bronstein is co-founder and CEO 1. Existing customers include Unity and DMGT, with platform partnerships covering Databricks and Snowflake 12. The company cites Gartner’s January 2026 finding that at least 50% of generative AI projects are abandoned after proof of concept, with poor data quality among the leading causes 1.
