Granica is pioneering data optimization for large-scale AI and analytics. Our unified platform enables enterprises to dramatically reduce storage and compute costs while accelerating data pipelines - unlocking faster, more efficient access to intelligence at petabyte scale.
At the heart of Granica's mission is the belief that data is the foundation of modern AI. Realizing its full potential requires rethinking how data is managed, moved, and made useful. That's why we bring together world-class talent in AI research, distributed systems, and business to tackle the hardest challenges in data at scale.
Backed by leading investors including NEA and Bain Capital Ventures, Granica is helping the world's most forward-thinking organizations build a smarter, more cost-efficient data layer for the AI era.
BUILDING BETTER DATA FOR BETTER AI
