Our take

The applications of AI and machine learning are undeniable and vast. However, much of its existing infrastructure was built to support large and lengthy jobs, opposed to the real-time decisions required for the technology to be useful to sectors such as fintech, eCommerce, healthcare and insurance.

This is where Chalk steps in, supplying backbone infrastructure to support real-time AI and ML applications. Its data platform includes features such as a compute engine, an LLM toolchain and integrated monitoring - with applications including anti-fraud, risk assessment and predictive maintenance. Importantly, any data source can be integrated with the platform, meaning the real-time decisions can be made with real-time data.

It's certainly an intriguing proposal, and one that has seen the company net over $60M in funding (and grabbing itself a $500M valuation). It's most recent investment will be used to accelerate development of its platform, onboard new customers, and grow its engineering and go-to-market hubs in San Francisco and New York. Putting the company in a very tasty position for future success.
