Oakley Capital ("Oakley"), a leading European mid-market private equity investor, is pleased to announce that Fund VI has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Graphwise, a pioneer in knowledge graph and semantic data technology, which is a key enabler of enterprise AI. Oakley will partner with the company’s founders and management team to support its commercial expansion and strengthen its market-leading position.
Graphwise’s software is trusted by more than 200 blue-chip customers to improve their enterprise AI capability, making it more accurate, auditable and able to deal with large and diverse data sets. Graphwise does this by structuring enterprise data in a type of database called a knowledge graph, enriching it with context, meaning and connections to form what is known as the "semantic layer." This is increasingly viewed as critical AI infrastructure technology for businesses.
The value of AI depends on the quality and reliability of the data behind it. Large language models ("LLMs") are strong at processing language, but have limitations, including factual consistency and explaining how they arrived at conclusions.
