AcquiredMetadata for GenAI workflows
This company has previously operated under “Deasie”. A rename frequently marks a pivot in positioning or product — useful raw material for variant ideas.
About
Deasy Labs was acquired by Collibra in July 2025 (global leader in enterprise data governance). Deasy Labs provides metadata orchestration for AI workflows. Deasie's platform provides the best way for AI teams to create and embed high-quality, customized metadata into their AI workflows (e.g., RAG, Agentic frameworks). Our three founders (from Amazon, McKinsey/QuantumBlack & MIT) previously built an ML data governance tool from 0 to 1 within McKinsey, which we deployed with 11 Fortune 500 companies. We saw in early 2023 the ability to create high-quality metadata (without reliance on domain experts) would be a key factor in achieving the accuracy & speed in GenAI applications required for production. Our investors include General Catalyst, Y Combinator, RTP Global and world experts in enterprise data. Website: https://deasylabs.com
