Artificial intelligence data startup WisdomAI has raised $50 million in a Series A round led by Kleiner Perkins with participation from NVentures, Nvidia’s venture capital firm.
This comes six months after the startup came out of stealth mode and announced a $23 million seed round led by Coatue with contributions from Madrona, GTM Capital, The Anthology Fund, U First Capital, Latitude Capital, and over 30 angel investors.
WisdomAI, which was founded by Rubrik co-founder Soham Mazumdar, offers AI-driven data analytics that can answer business questions from structured, unstructured, and even “dirty” data, meaning data that hasn’t been cleaned of typos or errors. Business users can ask questions in natural language.

The company also uses an interesting method to avoid LLM hallucinations. Instead of using LLMs to write answers to questions, it uses them to only write the query — the part that will go out to a data warehouse to retrieve data. So, if an LLM produces hallucinations, it will simply write an ineffective query rather than inventing false answers.
WisdomAI has written its own logic that it calls the “enterprise context layer,” which studies the customer data to understand it. All of the startup’s co-founders worked with Mazumdar at data security company Rubrik, giving them deep experience with enterprise storage warehouses. Mazumdar left Rubrik in 2023.
Since its formal launch in 2024, WisdomAI has grown from two to 40 enterprise customers. The startup’s customers include Descope, ConocoPhillips, Cisco, and Patreon.
Mazumdar said the young company is also growing in usage within its enterprise customers. Some customers have doubled usage within two months. Another customer started with 10 seats and expanded to 450, which is almost everyone in the company, he said.

WisdomAI also recently added an agentic feature that will alert users in real time to important changes in situations they are monitoring.
“I have created an agent which is watching our product usage metrics, our ticket information,” Mazumdar says, adding that it took him about five minutes to create it. But rather than sending him a daily or, even, hourly report on usage and helpdesk tickets, it alerts him “when something interesting happens,” he describes.
“I think that’s the magic with analytics. It’s always been a static report, but we are making it dynamic. We are making it proactive,” he added.
WisdomAI says that it will use the new funding to “accelerate product development, expand its engineering and go-to-market teams, and scale its enterprise customer base across key industries.”
