1 known investors
Nekt is a data platform that combines 200+ connectors, transformation and governance tools (SQL, notebooks, semantic layers, permissions, lineage), and delivery via an MCP server and Data API so teams, dashboards, and AI agents query the same governed data. It targets data and business teams who want to centralize sources and give AI agents context-rich, up-to-date access to business data.

Company profile
researched Aug 2026Nekt operates a data platform positioned as a context layer for AI agents and business users. The product is organized into three layers described by the company as Connect, Govern and Serve. The Connect layer ingests data through more than 200 connectors spanning SaaS applications, databases, webhooks and flat files (CSV, Excel, Parquet), as well as unstructured content such as PDFs, images and video, with Nekt handling synchronization and schema management. The Govern layer provides transformation and annotation tooling β SQL, notebooks, semantic layers, table- and layer-level permissions, historical data and lineage β organized into user-defined data layers such as raw, trusted and service tiers, together with a searchable catalog in which column and table descriptions can be enriched. The Serve layer exposes the resulting governed tables through an MCP server, a Data API and native destinations, so that agents, BI tools and staff query the same tables.
The company frames its value proposition around the failure mode of agents calling source-system APIs directly: it publishes an internal comparison in which an agent querying Stripe and HubSpot APIs required 234 tool calls, roughly 15 minutes of latency and 234K tokens for a partial-confidence answer, versus a single SQL query against a Nekt trusted table at 19 seconds and 18K tokens. A separate internal benchmark reports 91% answer accuracy for agents using Nekt against 38% for agents connected directly to APIs, described as a median across five runs on Anthropic Claude Opus 4.7, with similar gaps cited on Sonnet 4.6 and Haiku 4.5. Storage can be hosted on Nekt Cloud or in a customer's own GCP or AWS environment.
Business model
Nekt sells its data platform to companies, offering a free entry tier ("Get started for free") alongside a sales-assisted motion via demo requests. Deployment options include Nekt-hosted cloud storage or hosting in the customer's own GCP or AWS account.
Traction
The company's site states it is used by growing companies worldwide; catalog examples reference customer workspaces and connector datasets with entries dated from October 2025 through March 2026.

Market position
Nekt positions itself as a single system spanning ingestion, governance and serving for agent-facing data, in contrast to agents connecting directly to source-system APIs.
Nekt emphasizes delivering one governed source of truth to agents, dashboards and people simultaneously, with annotated columns for context, queryable history, incremental syncs to avoid stale data, and permissions enforced at table and layer level; it cites internal benchmarks showing higher accuracy and lower latency, token use and cost when agents query its tables instead of source APIs.
Technology
The platform combines managed connectors that handle sync and schema for SaaS, database, webhook, file and MCP sources; a lakehouse-style storage layer organized into configurable data layers (raw, trusted, service) with column-level annotation, semantic layers, lineage, historical data and table/layer permissions; and transformation via SQL and notebooks. Data is served through an MCP server, a Data API and native destinations, allowing agents to resolve questions with SQL queries against governed tables rather than sequences of source-API tool calls. Stated integrations include Claude, Codex, ChatGPT, Lovable, OpenClaw and Power BI, with connectors including Stripe, HubSpot, Shopify, Postgres, GA4, Pipedrive, Amplitude, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn Ads and Intercom.
