Description

Company disclosure · 12 Mar 2026

Own blog: "$50 million in Series B funding, led by AVP". Both funding_total and valuation are bare — the post states neither a cumulative total nor a valuation, and the aggregators that carry a total are a refused source here. Delivery test (§1.1): a vector database is load-bearing AI infrastructure — it is what a customer’s own retrieval and RAG systems run on.
