Unstructured builds ingestion and preprocessing tooling that transforms enterprise unstructured data (emails, documents, images, videos and more) into formats ready for foundation models and retrieval‑augmented generation. The company offers an open source library downloaded more than 6 million times and used by over 12,000 code bases, alongside commercial products including a SaaS API launched in January 2024 and an enterprise platform announced in February. More than 45,000 organizations, including over one‑third of the Fortune 500, use Unstructured to preprocess proprietary data, and the SaaS API already has more than 1,000 paying customers. Its platform continuously extracts raw unstructured data from existing databases, transforms over 30 file types into LLM‑ready formats, and automatically loads that data into vector databases for RAG, with reported performance improvements of more than 20% across LLM applications without customization. The company intends to use new capital to grow its team and accelerate development of data preprocessing tooling to help move LLM pilots into production. Unstructured positions itself as a leading provider of LLM data preprocessing infrastructure. Unstructured provides data preprocessing tools and an API that converts 20+ natural language file types from raw formats to LLM-ready outputs and offers enterprise-grade connectors for cloud storage and search systems. The company offers three ways to use its technology: an open-source Python library, open-source containers, and a cloud-hosted API. Its platform automates extraction, cleaning, and staging of unstructured natural language data to help enterprises leverage internal data for productivity and innovation. Unstructured has developed technology with the open-source community and commercial partners and works with select U.S. government defense and intelligence organizations. It has been awarded a Phase I and two Phase II SBIR contracts from the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force, and has a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with U.S. Special Operations Command. The company is led by founder and CEO Brian Raymond and plans to use new funding to expand operations and its business reach.
