Pinecone exits stealth with a vector database for machine learning SHARE Pinecone Systems Inc. is emerging from stealth mode today armed with $10 million in seed funding and a serverless vector database that it says can make machine learning queries much faster and more accurate. The investment was led by Wing Venture Capital. Its founding partner Peter Wagner, who previously invested in cloud data warehouse company Snowflake Inc., will take a seat on Pinecone’s board of directors. Pinecone was founded by its Chief Executive Edo Liberty, who previously ran Yahoo Inc.’s Scalable Machine Learning Platforms group and later led a team that helped build the Amazon SageMaker machine learning service at Amazon Web Services Inc.
