Noah and I are excited to introduce you to Ontollo and wanted to share the story as to how we got here.

Noah and I have spent our combined 40-year careers doing one thing over and over: building new market categories from scratch, and leading the teams behind some of the most successful infrastructure and product companies out there, VMware, Atlassian, Apple. We've also each built successful startups from the ground up. That combination, knowing what it takes to build a category and knowing what it takes to build a company, is exactly what led us to start Ontollo.


We talked to dozens of customers who were struggling to make AI actually work inside their companies, particularly operations companies. That's what convinced us of the mission: unleashing the potential of AI for the mission critical needs of operators in construction, energy, infrastructure, and healthcare. Physical AI is not just about robots.

Lost in the physical AI conversation are the existing machines, systems and sensors that power today's companies. Imagine making sense of all your physical assets to achieve business, strategic and operational efficiencies -- that's the mission of Ontollo.

AI misallocating equipment or personnel, failing to validate a safety compliance standard, or hallucinating a project's financials is disastrous. These are the businesses that build, run, and grow the world, and they deserve AI they can actually trust, not AI that guesses.

We've spent the last year heads-down turning that mission into product and co-building with a small cohort of design partners, and are excited to scale these solutions to a broader set of partners across construction, energy, infrastructure and agribusiness.

So, what is Ontollo? We're the operational knowledge graph for asset-heavy operators. In simple terms, we give AI a real, trustworthy picture of how a physical operation actually works, so it can reason across the disconnected systems these companies run on (CRM, ERP, spreadsheets, sensors) instead of guessing from one system at a time.

We're not bolting a chatbot onto your data. We're building a System of Reality that AI can safely act, governed underneath, reasoning on top, with a full pedigree on every output. That's the same discipline we learned building infrastructure products that enterprises actually trust, and it's exactly what the enterprise buyers we sell to need before they'll put AI in the middle of mission-critical work.
