Single Origin, based in San Mateo, builds an AI-enhanced semantic layer focused on the economics of the modern data stack. Rather than just centralizing metric definitions, its platform analyzes the SQL queries running against a company's warehouse to detect redundant or overlapping computation, optimize query performance, and ultimately reduce cloud compute spend. As organizations layer BI tools, embedded analytics, and AI agents on top of warehouses like Snowflake and BigQuery, redundant queries silently drive up bills; Single Origin aims to make that consumption efficient and governed through a shared semantic layer. The company has raised about $3.68M from backers including Okta co-founder Frederic Kerrest and Sun Microsystems co-founder Scott McNealy, signaling experienced operator support for its approach to cost-aware semantic modeling.
