What Upsolve AI does

Upsolve AI is the analytics platform for deploying governed, grounded, and trustworthy data agents that know your business. Data teams use Upsolve's Agent Studio to get to AI-ready data foundations fast, unify and curate their context layer, and test, tune and monitor their Upsolve Data Agent to their benchmark. The company is founded by Ka Ling Wu and Serguei Balanovich, who built a similar product at Palantir before (featured in Palantir's S-1), growing it to 50+ enterprise customers and 8-figures of annual revenue in 2 years.

Deploy trustworthy data agents for business

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build Upsolve's Agent Studio, an analytics platform that lets data teams deploy data agents tailored to their business context. It helps unify and curate their data, create AI-ready foundations, and test and monitor these agents to meet benchmarks of trust and governance.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are remote and do not have a fixed location. After YC, we will base ourselves where the team and operations best support customer needs and growth.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our team is distributed to attract the best talent and respond flexibly to our enterprise customers' locations. Post-YC, we will remain location-agnostic to maintain that advantage.
