In this episode, we speak with Marc Freed-Finnegan, Co-Founder and CEO of Chalk, a data platform that powers machine learning and generative AI with real-time, Python-native infrastructure for developers and data teams.

Chalk recently raised a $50 million Series A round at a $500 million valuation. The round was led by Felicis, with participation from Triatomic Capital, General Catalyst, Unusual Ventures, and Xfund. The funding will accelerate Chalk’s efforts to scale its Rust-based feature engine and support a growing number of enterprise AI teams building real-time systems.
