Ex-Uber execs Jeremy Hermann and Doug Gilchrist announced Delphina has raised a total of $15M, led by Radical VC and Costanoa Ventures.
- The team met at Uber, where city teams and ops staff closest to the problem made data-driven calls — everyone wrote SQL, even the CEO, and keeping data context from turning into chaos was a full-time job
- Their thesis: an AI agent without context about how your business works gives confidently wrong answers, and manually written context goes stale
- Delphina's answer is the Context Factory, which builds and maintains that business knowledge itself
