Delphina, an AI startup developing technology to improve business analytics, has raised $7.5 million in new funding, bringing its total funding to $15 million.
The funding round was co-led by Radical Ventures and Costanoa, with participation from Tenacity Capital. The round also included prominent angel investors such as Fei-Fei Li, Nobel laureate Guido Imbens, and former employees of Anthropic and OpenAI.
Delphina will use the new capital to expand its Context Factory platform and strengthen its go-to-market and customer engineering teams.
Using AI Agents to Improve Business Analytics
Delphina has developed a platform called Context Factory that uses AI agents to build and maintain the business knowledge companies need to generate accurate answers from their data.
Business analytics tools often struggle because they lack important company-specific information, such as how financial metrics are defined, which data sources are reliable, and how different departments interpret business performance.
Companies traditionally manage this information manually, making it difficult to keep data accurate and updated as business operations change.
Delphina’s AI agents aim to automate this process. They analyze existing company data and documents to build an initial knowledge base, identify missing information when employees ask questions, and send important updates to domain experts for approval.
This helps businesses provide more reliable AI-powered analytics while reducing the manual work required from data teams.
Growing Adoption Across Businesses
Delphina reports that business teams now ask 73% of the questions on its platform, while CEOs at more than half of its customers are active users.
At Substack, more than 70% of employees use Delphina, including CEO Chris Best.
Other customers include LATAM Airlines, Gen Digital, Upstart, Udemy, Medely, Coursera, and BaseCamp Franchising.
The company aims to make trusted business information accessible across organizations, allowing employees at different levels to make decisions using accurate company data.
