Chalk is building the data platform that powers the future of machine learning applications. We tear down complexity, latency, and scale barriers that have traditionally constrained ML capabilities. Our platform combines Rust-speed performance with elegant tools that developers love to use. Leading companies depend on Chalk to run real-time ML systems for fraud prevention, identity verification, and dynamic decisioning. We’ve recently raised a $50M Series A led by Felicis.
