Edra, a New York-based startup founded by former Palantir employees, has raised a $30 million Series A funding round led by Sequoia, with participation from 8VC and A*. The startup focuses on automating workflows for companies by transforming their operational data into a dynamic knowledge base.
The co-founders, Eugen Alpeza and Yannis Karamanlakis, bring years of experience from Palantir, where Alpeza worked on commercial accounts and led the AI Platform launch, while Karamanlakis served as the company’s first Forward Deployed AI Engineer.
Edra addresses the challenge many companies face with underutilized operational data, such as emails, logs, support tickets, and chat histories. By automatically analyzing this data, Edra creates and maintains a knowledge base, offering solutions primarily in IT service management and customer support. Notable clients already benefiting from Edra’s services include HubSpot, ASOS, Cushman & Wakefield, and easyJet.
