Centralize came out of stealth July 29 with a $15M Series A led by NEA, with Salesforce Ventures, Y Combinator, and angels including Stewart Butterfield, total funding $19M since 2023. Founders Rachit Kataria (ex-Meta) and William Wang (ex-Slack) built agents called "Centra" that mine first-party call recordings, emails, calendar events, and web sources into live org charts and relationship maps for multi-threading enterprise deals. Customers include CoreWeave, Cognition, Brex, and Webflow, revenue reportedly up almost 8x. Salesforce funding the layer that makes its own product the storage tier is the detail I can't stop looking at.
