NEW YORK, April 2, 2024 — CB Insights today named Lightup to its eighth-annual AI 100, showcasing the 100 most promising private AI companies of 2024.

“AI is taking off at lightning speed, and it’s not just big tech companies at the forefront of it,” said Deepashri Varadharajan, director of AI research at CB Insights. “Our AI 100 winners – many of them early stage startups, some with very small teams — are pushing the boundaries of AI in everything from game development and battery design to agentic AI systems.”

“With AI, we’ve made the job of monitoring Data Quality 100 to 1,000 times easier,” remarks Lightup CEO and Co-founder Manu Bansal. “Traditionally, manually configuring Data Quality checks would take months. With automated Anomaly Detection in Lightup, the same checks can be set up and monitored in minutes in most cases.”

The 100 winners were chosen based on several factors, including CB Insights’ data on deal activity, industry partnerships, team strength, investor strength, patent activity, and proprietary Mosaic Scores. We also analyzed CB Insights’ exclusive interviews with software buyers and dug into Analyst Briefings submitted directly to us by startups.

Founded in 2019, with headquarters in Mountain View, CA, Lightup Data, Inc. is a Series A private startup company, backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Newlands. Lightup has gained notable traction in the market, with impressive adoption rates by Fortune 500 companies, including McDonald’s, Gap Inc., and Skechers.
