Overview
Pulse is tackling one of the most persistent challenges in data infrastructure: extracting accurate, structured information from complex documents at scale. Our breakthrough architecture combines schema mapping with fine-tuned extraction models where legacy OCR and parsing consistently fail.
We’re a small, fast-growing team in San Francisco powering Fortune 100 enterprises, YC startups, public investment firms, and growth-stage companies. We’re backed by tier-1 investors and scaling quickly.
