Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Axiamatic was founded in 2021 by serial entrepreneurs Rajiv Gupta and Kaushik Narayan, who had worked together for more than two decades. Their most notable prior company was Skyhigh Networks, which pioneered the Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) category (recognized by Gartner as cybersecurity's fastest-growing category at the time) and was acquired by McAfee. Gupta also previously co-founded and led two other successful exits: Securent (acquired by Cisco) and Confluent Software (acquired by Oracle). Greylock, led by partner Asheem Chandna, had backed Gupta twice before (Securent and Skyhigh) and led Axiamatic's Series Seed round.

After their time at McAfee following the Skyhigh acquisition, Gupta and Narayan spent time speaking with hundreds of Fortune 500 executives and identified a large, unsolved problem: enterprises spend trillions of dollars annually on transformation programs (ERP modernization, CRM consolidation, supply-chain overhauls, broader operating-model change), yet roughly 70% of large transformation programs fail to meet their objectives, cost, or timeline targets, largely because no human team can continuously track every dependency, preserve context across multi-year execution, and coordinate thousands of decisions without distortion. Axiamatic built an "agentic control plane" to solve this: the platform continuously ingests structured and unstructured signals from 250+ enterprise systems, documents, meetings, and conversations to build a persistent "digital twin" of a transformation program (the Living Context Graph), uses autonomous AI agents to detect translation loss, resistance, and cross-workstream drift, scores and routes risks to the right stakeholders with contextual remediation playbooks, and gives each stakeholder (Executive, PMO, OCM) a persona-specific AI assistant ("Axia") accessible via voice, chat, Slack, or Microsoft Teams.

Axiamatic operated in stealth for roughly five years before publicly launching on March 11, 2026, when it announced it had raised a combined $54 million across a Series Seed (led by Greylock) and a Series A (led by Bessemer Venture Partners, which "partnered" in 2025 per Bessemer's own portfolio listing). Individual round amounts were not publicly disclosed. Early customers cited at launch include The Heico Companies (a ~$4B diversified manufacturer that expanded from a single ERP transformation to more than 20 programs on the platform within 12 months), Marmon Holdings, and consulting/SI partner Collective Insights; Crunchbase separately lists Adobe and Corning among enterprise clients. The company reports helping prevent, in one case, a potential 50% cost overrun and 40% schedule overrun on an 18-month ERP transformation.

Business model

B2B enterprise SaaS / agentic AI platform sold to large enterprises and system-integrator (SI) partners, licensed per transformation program/enterprise deployment.

Full profile — profile (continued), go-to-market, ownership

Profile (continued)

Axiamatic is headquartered in Menlo Park, California (per LinkedIn's registered address; press coverage and Greylock also describe it as "San Francisco Bay Area"/"San Francisco-based"), with a second team location in Bengaluru, India, and roughly 90 employees on LinkedIn (self-reported LinkedIn size band: 51-200). It positions itself in the same broad market as legacy transformation-governance players like ServiceNow, Accenture, and Tricentis, and adjacent to enterprise process-intelligence and change-management vendors, though as an AI-native "agentic control plane" rather than a traditional PPM/ITSM or process-mining tool.

IMPORTANT DATA-QUALITY NOTE: The research brief that prompted this profile described Axiamatic as a media/gaming holding or investment company possibly co-founded with backing from Greylock and Emerson Collective, and asked to verify a possible connection to former EA/Unity CEO John Riccitiello. Multi-source verification (axiamatic.com's own site and Sanity/Next.js-rendered Company page, Greylock's own portfolio page and investment-announcement blog post, Bessemer Venture Partners' portfolio page, Crunchbase, and LinkedIn) consistently and exclusively describes Axiamatic as an enterprise AI/ERP-transformation software company founded by Rajiv Gupta and Kaushik Narayan, with no gaming, media, holding-company, John Riccitiello, or Emerson Collective connection found anywhere. No evidence of a separate, differently-focused company also named "Axiamatic" was found. This profile is built strictly on the verified enterprise-AI company at axiamatic.com; the gaming/media/Riccitiello/Emerson Collective premise could not be confirmed and appears to be a mix-up with a different company.

Go-to-market

Fortune 500 and other large enterprises undergoing major transformation programs (ERP, CRM, supply chain, business/operating-model change), and the systems-integrator and consulting firms that deliver these programs (e.g., life sciences, consumer packaged goods, high-tech, industrial/manufacturing sectors).
