Bulgarian graph database startup Graphwise has secured a significant investment from Oakley Capital, a European venture capital firm, to enhance its go-to-market strategy and expand globally. The funding will also be used for strategic acquisitions. Graphwise created the open-source GraphDB platform, which stores contextual data alongside business records, allowing for connections that aren't possible with traditional databases.
This platform, built on a knowledge graph, enables AI models to derive user intent, suggest related topics, and support scenario-based recommendations. Its unique "semantic layer" manages both structured data and unstructured content, maintaining consistent semantic metadata. Graphwise believes this architecture supports autonomous AI agents that perform work without supervision.
The agents use GraphRAG to retrieve precise, contextual information, reducing data processing needs and lowering costs for industries like financial services, healthcare, and life sciences. Oakley Capital's majority stake will help Graphwise strengthen its commercial capabilities and expand internationally, as it already serves over 200 blue-chip customers with a 30% annual recurring revenue growth rate.
