About

Ocient is a Chicago-based data platform company that builds a SQL-compliant, hyperscale analytics and AI system for organizations working at petabyte to exabyte scale. Its platform ingests billions of rows per second and computes aggregates across trillions of rows, and the company positions its current OcientAIQ platform as a way to run AI workloads directly against enterprise data without moving or duplicating it. Founded in 2016 by Chris Gladwin, Joseph Jablonski and George Kondiles, it has raised roughly $228M from investors including OCA Ventures, Greycroft and In-Q-Tel, closing a $132M Series B in 2025.

Purpose-built storage and compute architecture that runs complex analytics and AI workloads on petabyte-scale data in place — reportedly 10x-50x faster than competing warehouses — instead of requiring data to be moved into a separate AI or analytics system.
