Differential Ventures

Differential is a NYC-based seed-stage venture capital fund investing in the next generation of enterprise technology that will enable companies to truly transition into the “data age.” Our team is comprised of experienced investors, data scientists and startup executives who have hands-on experience solving problems in the complex AI market. Because we have lived many of the challenges a startup faces along its growth trajectory through a variety of skillsets we support our founders, as a team, across all business functions, from seed to exit.

Our portfolio companies are providing the components critical to the next generation of enterprise technology and are fundamentally changing the way companies do business in sectors like financial services, manufacturing, hiring, government, retail, etc. 

We are constantly seeking startups that will unlock the power of data in a responsible way; ranging from applied AI solutions to Advancing the ML Tech Stack to Advanced Engineering and Infrastructure solutions, including data privacy and cybersecurity. We view our investments starting with the data.  So any tech solution that helps to collect, manage, analyze, and secure data is in thesis for us.

Pienso raised a $10 million Series A to enable model training and deployment by non-technical domain experts - an important step in the journey towards meaningful AI deployments.  Congratulations Birago Jones and Karthik Dinakar! We are excited for the next phase of growth for Pienso.

“So much of the AI conversation has been dominated by … large language models,” Jones said, “but the reality is that no one model can do everything. To be able to scale to AI’s full potential, where it can manage business processes and interact with customers, you have to be able to train and fine-tune your model. Pienso believes that any domain expert, not just an AI engineer, should be able to do just that.”
