Julius Ai, a startup who describes himself as AI data analyst, announced Seed round price $ 10 million Managed by Bessemer Venture Partners.
Horizon VC, 8VC, Y Combinator, AI Grant Accelerator participated in the round with several bearable angel investors, including, among others, the power of attorney, Aravind Srinivas, general director of Vercel Guillermo Rauch and co -founder Twilio Jeff Lawson.
The founding father of Rahul Sonwalkar launched Julius after completing the Y Combinator in 2022 and a departure from the logistics start that he built during the Accelerator program.
Julius was designed to act as a data scientist through evaluation and visualization of in depth data sets, and then performing predictive modeling from natural language hints. Even with a functionality just like the one found in Chatgpt, Anthropica Claude and Google’s Gemini, Julius carved his own area of interest. The company said that it has over two million users and generates over 10 million visualizations.
“The easiest way to use Julius is simply to talk to him,” said the founding father of Julius Ai, Rahul Sonwalkar, said Techcrunch in an earlier interview. “You can talk to AI as if you were talking to an analyst in your team, and artificial intelligence, as you go, would run the code and conduct an analysis for you.”
Questions that Julius can answer and present to the chart: “Can you visualize how the revenues and net income correlate for various industries in China compared to us?”
Julius’ specialization in data science even caught the Eye of Harvard Business School (HBS) Professor Iavor Bojinov last 12 months. Bojinov was so impressed that he asked Sonwalka to switch Julius especially for the latest HBS course required Data Science and AI for leaders.

“People told us that you will not be successful,” said Sonwalkar about building a product just like functions available from basic model firms. “We discovered that focusing on the case of use is really important.”
Passing through YC, Sonwalkar also had a viral joke. In the morning after Elon Musk purchased Twitter (now X), reporters met two men with boxes outside the company’s headquarters. One of the two men was Sonwalkar, who introduced himself as a recently released Twitter engineer “Satisfied with Ligma. ”
Despite some publicity resulting from the feat, Somwalkar insists that his startup is much more attention.
“I don’t think many people know me for that,” said Techcrunch in an earlier interview. “I am now recognized for Julius.”
