Kumo team
We are proud to share that Kumo has been named to Inc. Magazine’s Best in Business list for 2025, recognized in the Best Startups category. This honor highlights companies creating meaningful impact through innovation, and it reflects a transformative year for Kumo and the customers we serve.
Advancing Enterprise AI With the World's First Relational Foundation Model
This year, we introduced KumoRFM, the world’s first Relational Foundation Model designed to bring foundation-model capabilities to the structured, relational data inside the modern data warehouse. While large language models have reshaped how businesses work with text, our focus has been on the operational backbone of every organization: customers, transactions, products, inventory, and the rich relationships between them.
KumoRFM powered by Relational Graph Transformers, allows teams to connect their warehouse and instantly generate predictions such as churn, fraud, engagement, or revenue outcomes. It removes the need for task-specific training and months of feature engineering, delivering results in seconds with accuracy that matches or surpasses traditional approaches. With KumoRFM, organizations achieve up to 20× faster time to value.
“Our mission is to make advanced predictive capabilities accessible to every business,” said Vanja Josifovski, CEO and Co-Founder of Kumo. “Being included on Inc.’s Best in Business list is an important milestone for our team, and we look forward to an even bigger year ahead.”
Serving Companies of All Sizes
Kumo supports organizations across industries, from emerging startups to global enterprises. Our customers include DoorDash, Reddit, Sainsbury’s, and several Fortune 500 companies. We also work closely with partners such as Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, and SAP, helping teams build predictive applications directly within their existing data platforms.
