Announcing our $10M seed to accelerate machine learning

Chalk, a company founded by Stanford graduate Elliot, has raised $10 million in seed funding led by General Catalyst, Unusual Ventures, and Xfund to develop a data platform designed for machine learning and generative AI. Elliot's journey through various tech companies, including Affirm and Credit Karma, highlighted the challenges of existing data platforms, prompting him to create Chalk as a solution to these pain points. The platform, built from scratch rather than relying on older technologies like Spark, aims to simplify the integration of new features, backtesting, and real-time AI implementation, thereby empowering developers. Chalk has been adopted by companies such as Ramp, Melio, Mission Lane, and Vital for its ability to handle complex decision-making processes and integrate real-time data efficiently. Its clientele spans fintech, live shopping, and healthcare sectors, with applications ranging from fraud prevention to emergency healthcare decisions. The company is eager to expand its team and invites interested individuals to explore open roles and book demos to experience Chalk's capabilities.
