Definite, an AI-native data platform, has raised $10 million in a seed funding round led by Costanoa, with support from Acrew Capital and strategic angel investors. This funding will enhance product development and expand its go-to-market team, aiming for broader adoption in enterprises.
Many organizations today rely on a costly mix of tools, including data warehouses like Snowflake, ETL services like Fivetran, and business intelligence platforms like Looker. This complexity necessitates integration and a dedicated, specialized data engineering team to address critical business questions.
Definite simplifies this process with an AI-powered platform that combines secure data lakes, robust data pipelines, and dynamic dashboards into a single solution. This integration enables enterprises to connect data sources effortlessly and gain actionable insights quickly, reducing analysis time from months to minutes and slashing costs by up to tenfold.
With a focus on security and scalability, Definite is SOC 2 Type II compliant and built on open-source infrastructure, supporting petabyte-level workloads and avoiding vendor lock-in.
Early adopters like Perfect and Meet Alfred have achieved transformative results by streamlining analytics and enabling business users to perform independent analyses, accelerating data-driven decision-making.
With this new funding, Definite is set to disrupt the analytics landscape further, making AI-driven insights accessible to all business users, regardless of their technical expertise.
KEY QUOTES:
“Teams shouldn’t need six months, a half-million-dollar budget, and a team of engineers to get answers about their business. We built Definite to make analytics radically simpler. With open-source under the hood and AI powering every interaction, we’re giving teams inquiry without the (SQL) queries.”
Mike Ritchie, CEO and founder of Definite
“We went from zero to data lake in a couple hours and had a high-performance API running minutes later.”
George Papadopoulos, CEO of Meet Alfred
“Time and time again, we see startups pour millions into a modern data stack—only to end up with something that still requires a full data engineering team to get answers. Definite is the answer to that pain: a powerful yet elegant solution that gives business users fast, flexible, and accurate insights without the bottlenecks. It’s exactly what modern teams demand—a powerful data platform that makes ad hoc analytics self-serve and fast without sacrificing trust or depth.”
John Cowgill, Partner at Costanoa
