Businesses looking to bring the rewards of big data analysis to everyday users need ways to prepare and organize data and develop machine learning models for analyzing it. Here’s a look at 10 hot startups developing leading-edge data science and machine learning technologies that help them do that.

Tecton.ai
Top Executive: Mike Del Balso, Co-Founder and CEO
Headquarters: San Francisco
Tecton.ai exited stealth in April 2020 with its data platform for machine learning that’s designed to enable data scientists to turn raw data into the predictive signals that power machine learning models. The company’s goal is to solve the data challenges that constitute the biggest impediment to deploying machine learning in the enterprise.
Founders Mike Del Balso (CEO), Kevin Stumpf (CTO and Jeremy Hermann (engineering vice president) worked together at Uber when the ride sharing giant was building and deploy new machine learning models. They created Uber’s Michelangelo machine learning platform and then went on to found Tecton.ai to develop technology to help other companies meet their operational machine learning data challenges.
Tecton.ai, founded in 2019, has raised $60 million in several rounds of funding.
