Cosa fa Eventual

Every breakthrough AI application, from foundation models to autonomous vehicles, relies on processing massive volumes of images, video, and complex data. But today’s data platforms (like Databricks and Snowflake) are built on top of tools made for spreadsheet-like analytics, not the petabytes of multimodal data that power AI. As a result, teams waste months on brittle infrastructure instead of conducting research and building their core product. Eventual was founded in 2022 to solve this. Our mission is to make querying any kind of data, images, video, audio, text, as intuitive as working with tables, and powerful enough to scale to production workloads. Our open-source engine, Daft, is purpose-built for real-world AI systems: coordinating with external APIs, managing GPU clusters, and handling failures that traditional engines can’t. Daft already powers critical workloads at companies like Amazon, Mobileye, Together AI, and CloudKitchens. We’ve assembled a world-class team from Databricks, AWS, Nvidia, Pinecone, GitHub Copilot, Tesla, and more, quadrupling our size within a year. With backing from Y Combinator, Caffeinated Capital, Array.vc, and top angels from the co-founders of Databricks and Perplexity, we’re looking to double the team now. Join us - Eventual is just getting started. Please note we are looking for someone who is willing and able to come into our San Francisco office in the Mission district 4 days / week.

AI data engine for any modality and scale

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

We're building Daft, an open-source data engine designed for AI workloads that involve images, video, audio, and text at petabyte scale. Unlike traditional platforms built for table-like analytics, Daft handles complex multimodal data, coordinates GPU clusters, integrates external APIs, and manages failures common in real AI production systems. This lets AI teams run queries on their data as easily as on databases while supporting the scale and complexity foundation models and autonomous vehicles require.

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

We live in San Francisco and plan to base the company here after YC, working from an office in the Mission district.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our customers and team are in SF, and given how technical the product is, having the team onsite four days a week enables faster iteration and better collaboration.
