Cutting-edge Katana Graph scores $28.5 million Series A Led by Intel Capital
Here’s why and how a startup founded by a duo of researchers some months back is attracting big enterprise clients and serious funding
Another day, another graph funding round. Last week it was TigerGraph, this week it’s Katana Graph. Katana Graph, a high-performance scale-out graph processing, AI, and analytics company, announced it has completed a $28.5 million Series A financing round led by Intel Capital.
If you are wondering what is that about and where did it come from — good questions. ZDNet connected with Keshav Pingali, Katana Graph CEO and co-founder, to get the answers.
Pingali has a background in programming parallel systems, runtime systems, and compilers, having held professorships at Cornell and the University of Texas at Austin, where he leads a research group. Chris Rossbach, Katana Graph CTO and co-founder, is also an assistant professor at UT Austin.
Rossbach has also held senior roles at VMware and Microsoft Research. Katana’s board also includes Farshid Sabet, chief business officer, who was GM of Edge AI at Intel, and Amy Chang, board member at Procter and Gamble and Cisco, as a board advisor.
