Kumo

Kumo makes foundation models similar to ChatGPT, but for structured data in the data warehouse, this model is called the Kumo Relational Foundation Model (KumoRFM). Simply connect your warehouse and start asking predictive questions like churn, LTV, fraud, or conversion. You will get strong zero-shot predictions out of the box with the ability to fine-tune for even higher accuracy on critical use cases. Trusted by companies like Reddit, Coinbase, Snowflake, Databricks, and DoorDash, among others, Kumo is built by industry veterans: Vanja Josifovski (CEO & Co-Founder, former CTO at Airbnb and Pinterest), Jure Leskovec (Co-Founder & Chief Scientist, Stanford professor and pioneer of graph neural networks), and Hema Raghavan (Co-Founder & Head of Engineering, former AI leader at LinkedIn). Kumo is also backed by Sequoia and leading venture firms.
