I’m super excited to announce Synthefy’s $6.5M seed round, led by Wing Venture Capital and joined by Haystack, Samsung Next, Canonical, Lightscape, and angels and operators from OpenAI, Microsoft, and Meta. Setting the price of every Uber ride in real time. Spotting the early signs of disease from thousands of patient measurements. Blocking a fraudulent payment before money moves. Keeping the power grid stable as supply and demand change every second. These decisions are not waiting for a better chatbot. They require Machine Intelligence, systems that can learn from massive volumes of structured data and make predictions beyond human scale. At Synthefy, our vision is to advance Machine Intelligence, enabling enterprises and users to make predictions on their troves of structured data that enable them to make critical business decisions. Nori is our first foundation model in a class of AI that will transform prediction. It already unlocks brand new ways of looking at prediction. But this is only the beginning of our journey towards zero-shot prediction that outperforms any bespoke ML. Our mission is to give customers predictive answers from their structured data that they cannot get from today’s tooling, 100× faster and at one-tenth the cost of bespoke ML. We aim to make Nori the universal prediction engine that enterprise software and agents call whenever they need to forecast, score risk, or make a decision from structured data. I’m deeply grateful to my co-founders, the Synthefy team, our early users, and investors. Special thanks to @ai for backing us from day -10, when I was still learning what PMF meant, and to Gaurav (Wing) for seeing the ambition and helping us take it further.
