Radical Ventures and Costanoa double down as Delphina launches the Context Factory, where AI agents build and maintain the business context behind trusted answers

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Delphina, whose Context Factory uses AI agents to build and maintain the business context behind trusted AI analytics, announced $7.5 million in new funding, bringing its total funding to $15 million. The round was co-led by Radical Ventures and Costanoa, with participation from Tenacity Capital joining high-profile angels Fei-Fei Li, Nobel laureate Guido Imbens, and early employees of Anthropic and OpenAI. . Delphina will use the funding to scale the Context Factory and grow its go-to-market and customer engineering teams.

Delphina was built to meet data teams’ standards, but business teams now ask 73% of the questions on the platform, and CEOs at more than half of its customers are active users. At Substack, more than 70% of employees use Delphina, including CEO Chris Best. Other customers include LATAM Airlines, Gen Digital, Upstart, Udemy, Medely, Coursera, and BaseCamp Franchising.

“We want to give our people superpowers with AI. Delphina does that for data,” said Chris Best, CEO of Substack. “Now our teams get accurate answers in seconds instead of waiting weeks in a queue. It’s changed how we make decisions.”

AI analytics is only as good as what it knows about the business: which tables are trusted, how metrics are defined, and what experienced analysts know but never wrote down. Most companies build that context by hand, and it goes stale as the business changes. The Context Factory hands that work to agents. They build a working baseline from a company’s existing data and documents in hours, find and fix gaps as people ask questions, and route important changes to domain experts for approval.

“At Uber, everyone, including the CEO, was hands-on with data. That direct line to the numbers was a real advantage, but it took an army of data engineers to keep it from collapsing into chaos,” said Jeremy Hermann, Delphina’s CEO and co-founder. “The Context Factory gives every company that same advantage. Agents do the heavy lifting, and data teams become the knowledge captains who decide how the business sees its numbers.”

“Most companies are data-obsessed but struggle to become data-driven,” said Duncan Gilchrist, Delphina’s President and co-founder. “When everyone can get trusted answers, everyone suddenly has questions. Ops, sales, marketing and finance teams are now the heaviest users of Delphina, and they keep coming back.”

Hermann built and led Uber’s Michelangelo machine learning platform and co-founded Tecton, which was acquired by Databricks. Gilchrist led global pricing data science at Uber. The Context Factory is available today at delphina.ai.
