"Isotopes came out of stealth on Thursday with a healthy $20 million seed round. It offers an AI agent to solve a problem that data analytics products have struggled with for decades: The people who know how to run the big data infrastructure are not the ones who actually need to use the data. With LLMs, business managers can ask questions of their data in natural language."
"Just over 20 years ago, when Murthy was in his mid-20s, he worked at Yahoo on the team that built an open source project called Hadoop. Hadoop spurred the initial Big Data frenzy of the 2010s. In 2011, Yahoo spun it out into a company called Hortonworks, with Murthy as co-founder and chief product officer. Just four years after launch, Hortonworks went public."
Isotopes raised a $20 million seed round to deploy Aidnn, an AI agent that lets business managers query enterprise data in natural language and generate complex planning documents. Aidnn aggregates information from finance applications, ERP, CRM, and cloud storage to provide answers and draft plans. The startup's co-founders claim high technical sophistication and have applied for ten patents. Co-founder Arun Murthy previously helped build Hadoop at Yahoo, co-founded Hortonworks, and later worked at Cloudera, witnessing persistent data access gaps where executives lacked direct data access. Murthy left in 2021 and was later introduced to Scale AI's Alexandr Wang.
