Meet Chalk Chalk is building machine learning infrastructure to answer the world’s hardest questions. Our platform is built to power credit, risk, insurance, medical, and recommendation decisions for the world’s most innovative companies. Answering these complex questions requires sourcing data from a wide range of providers and rapidly iterating on feature definitions. Chalk makes it easy for machine learning teams to build high-performance pipelines that deliver data to models at the right time. We orchestrate infrastructure and automatically track data lineage so developers can work confidently and focus on their unique products and insights. Meet Our Founders Elliot started his career at Affirm where he built the early risk and credit data infrastructure system (the inspiration for Chalk). He then started Haven Money (with Andy) which Credit Karma acquired to power its banking products. Andy met Elliot at Stanford admit weekend – Elliot was his room host and they’ve been best friends ever since. After school, Andy worked at Palantir on large government data infrastructure projects. He then founded Haven Money (with Elliot) which now powers Credit Karma Money. Marc spent many years at Google where he helped to launch the first version of Google Wallet. He went on to start Index which Stripe acquired as its in-store payment solution – it’s now called Stripe Terminal.
