Founded in 2020, Telmai delivers a data observability platform to identify record value level data quality issues and anomalies at their source before data is ingested into data warehouses and AI models. Telmai uses ML to enable a low-code, no-code interface that automatically identifies issues for structured, semi-structured, and streaming sources and predicts future outcomes.  “Our customers deserve the best possible data to grow their business. Telmai’s data observability enables us to show the quality of the data we deliver to our customers. We use Telmai to monitor and quality check the data that flows through our proprietary algorithms and the data we package for our customers. We chose Telmai because of its ML anomaly detection and scalable architecture. Telmai will remain essential as our data landscape changes.” – Harlow Ward, CTO at Clearbit.

“We built Telmai using a high-scale Spark architecture allowing it to handle the growing volume, velocity, and variety of data in modern enterprises – what our customers call future-proof. Today, by partnering with Glasswing Ventures and .406 Ventures, along with the continued support from our existing investors, we are excited to take the next crucial steps in our company’s growth.” – Mona Rakibe, CEO and Co-Founder of Telmai.

“Since first partnering with Mona and Max at the pre-seed stage, we have been struck by the team’s vision in creating a new market around making data observability both simple and accessible to data teams. Telmai has proven to win against market leaders because of its superior architecture, allowing the platform to observe any data in an ever-growing data ecosystem – and so making it future-proof.” – Graham Brooks, Partner at .406.

Telmai is building the first, best, and only scalable data observability solution that enables data owners to monitor, detect, and remediate data issues in real-time. We are thrilled to work with Telmai’s executive leadership as they execute their mission and continue to innovate and expand their footprint.” – Rudina Seseri, Founder and Managing Partner at Glasswing Ventures.
