Oakley Capital, a European private equity investor, has acquired a majority stake in Graphwise, a company specializing in AI knowledge platforms. The investment is intended to fuel Graphwise's expansion and bolster its position in helping enterprises ground AI applications in verified data.
Graphwise's platform organizes enterprise data into knowledge graphs, providing a semantic backbone to enhance the accuracy and auditability of AI, search, and analytics systems. The company's technology addresses limitations in large language models, such as factual consistency and explainability, by offering a reliable layer of facts for retrieval and reasoning. This capability is particularly crucial for regulated sectors like financial services and life sciences where compliance and data governance are paramount.
Industry analysis suggests a growing need for such solutions, with Gartner expecting 40% of enterprises to adopt Graph Retrieval Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) by 2027. Graphwise has reported historical organic annual recurring revenue growth exceeding 30%, benefiting from the AI tailwind. The investment from Oakley Capital is expected to support Graphwise's commercial development and market strategy, including potential acquisitions in a fragmented market.
