Chalk

Chalk is building machine learning infrastructure to answer the world’s hardest questions. Our platform is built to power credit, risk, insurance, medical, and recommendation decisions for the world’s most innovative companies. Answering these complex questions requires sourcing data from a wide range of providers and rapidly iterating on feature definitions. Chalk makes it easy for machine learning teams to build high-performance pipelines that deliver data to models at the right time. We orchestrate infrastructure and automatically track data lineage so developers can work confidently and focus on their unique products and insights.

Chalk is based in San Francisco, California.
