Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

With datasets becoming larger across almost every business sector, the analysis and management of large-scale and unstructured data are becoming a laborious process. Various existing tech startups provide automatic analysis and data categorization software, but the enormous datasets found in the data landscape of today are yet to have a dedicated solution.

Katana Graph provides a digital analytics engine that facilitates the end-to-end storage, ingestion, and analysis of very large sets of unstructured data. As a result, the company claims its software can help produce graphs and actionable insights in under half an hour, a process that would normally take days when applied to trillions of data points.

Despite many startups aiming to tackle the automatic analysis of raw datasets, Katana Graph holds a unique concept by applying AI, GPUs, and FPGAs to accelerate the generation of large-scale graphs. The startup also aims to make the migration to their analysis tools frictionless, by facilitating connectivity with Python code and the open query graph language OpenCyper.
