In late 2021, I launched Seek AI under the tagline “Seek What Matters.” The tagline refers to Seek’s mission to solve a pain point I experienced pretty much every day as a data professional working at organizations ranging from tech startups to multinational hedge funds, encountering mundane and repetitive tasks that got in the way of the strategic work I knew would truly matter to businesses. Hence, since day one, our vision here at Seek has been to automate critical processes and workflows so that data stakeholders can get the data they need fast, and knowledge workers can focus more on key efforts.

Seek AI raised $7.5M in a combination of pre-seed and seed funding, led by Conviction and Battery Ventures, with participation from Bob Muglia (former CEO of Snowflake), Mustafa Suleyman (co-founder of DeepMind and Inflection AI) and Tristan Handy (founder and CEO of dbt Labs). This funding came at a critical juncture in Seek AI’s growth as we continue to gain traction within the generative AI space, and work with more than a dozen pilots across industries ranging from startups to the Fortune 100.
