Kinetica

8219 Leesburg Pike Suite 650, Vienna, VA, 22182, USA

Overview

Kinetica is the GPU-accelerated, real-time database built to power the next generation of AI Agents and analytical applications. By converging Vector Search with Spatial, Graph, and Time-Series analytics in a single SQL-accessible engine, Kinetica allows organizations to ground their Generative AI models in real-world, real-time context. Unlike simple vector stores, Kinetica utilizes a native multi-model architecture that fuses semantic search with complex analytical logic. This enables enterprises to execute high-speed queries that combine "what is this?" (Vector) with "where is it?" (Spatial) and "how is it connected?" (Graph)—all in milliseconds. Optimized for NVIDIA GPUs and modern many-core CPUs, Kinetica delivers the extreme throughput and low latency required for decision intelligence at scale. Trusted by industry leaders like Citibank, NORAD, Liberty Mutual, and Verizon, Kinetica is the data foundation for operationalizing real-time intelligence.

    Participated · Series A · Jun 2026

    Limitless Labs builds a Physical AI Foundation Model trained on metal cutting physics, CAD geometry, and machine constraints to power a CAM Agent that automates CNC programming inside CAD/CAM systems like Mastercam, Siemens NX, and PTC Creo. The CAM Agent identifies features, recommends tools and operation sequences, generates toolpaths, and produces shop-floor-ready programs while keeping engineers in control. Customers claim the platform can reduce CNC programming time by up to 50%, and the company has production deployments with Blue Origin, Cadillac F1, Sandvik, and Iscar. The platform supports deployment across cloud, private VPC, and AWS GovCloud and is ITAR-compliant for regulated industries. Financially, the company has raised $27.3 million to date, including a $20 million Series A announced in June 2026. Planned uses of recent funding include U.S. commercial expansion, advancing closed-loop CNC automation, growing the CAM Agent, expanding the Tel Aviv research lab, and roughly doubling headcount over the next year.
