Genesis Computing uses agentic AI to automate data pipelines

Former Snowflake executives Matt Glickman and Stefan Williams have launched Genesis Computing, a startup focused on simplifying data operations through agentic AI. The company, backed by $5 million in seed funding from Snowflake Ventures and other investors, aims to automate the labor-intensive process of building and managing data pipelines.

The Genesis of Genesis Computing

• Founders: Matt Glickman (CEO) and Stefan Williams (VP, Snowflake Ventures) left Snowflake to address the high burnout rates among data engineers.
• Mission: Use AI agents to automate complex data pipeline tasks, reducing manual workload and improving efficiency.

Key Highlights

1. Agentic AI on Snowflake: Genesis builds its AI agents on Snowflake’s Cortex AI, leveraging the platform’s robust infrastructure to deliver scalable solutions.
2. Customer Interest: Early adopters, including a healthcare client, have already seen the potential of Genesis’ agents to outperform traditional systems integrators.
3. Snowflake Native App: By deploying as a native app on Snowflake, Genesis bypasses lengthy procurement cycles, gaining faster access to enterprise customers.

Why It Matters

• Data Pipeline Challenges: Data engineers often face overwhelming workloads, making automation a critical need.
• Snowflake’s Ecosystem: Genesis benefits from Snowflake’s existing customer base, including Fortune 500 companies like Apple, Walmart, and Amazon.

Quotes

• Matt Glickman: "I’ve never met a data engineer who said, ‘Please don’t help me take away the workload I have.’"
• Stefan Williams: "When you’re containerizing your application and deploying it in the customer Snowflake environment, you don’t have to go through all the data governance and security hurdles."
