As enterprise AI moves from experimentation to deployment, the underlying data infrastructure is becoming a critical competitive advantage. Knowledge graphs are emerging as a foundation for AI systems that are accurate, explainable, and trustworthy, enabling organizations to connect and reason across vast amounts of enterprise data.

‍
Tentris reflects the type of company Bloomhaus seeks to back: founders solving fundamental infrastructure challenges with defensible deep technology. Built on more than eight years of pioneering research, the company has developed a fundamentally differentiated graph database architecture that, according to company benchmarks, enables up to 150x faster query execution than conventional approaches. Combined with encouraging early customer validation, we believe Tentris is well positioned to help define the next generation of enterprise AI infrastructure.

"We believe graph databases will become a foundational layer of enterprise AI," said Tim Schwichtenberg, Senior Investment Manager at Bloomhaus Ventures. "Tentris combines breakthrough technology, rare scientific depth, and early commercial validation. It's exactly the type of category-defining deep-tech company we seek to back at Bloomhaus."

Founded by Alexander Bigerl, Tobias Rebert, Nikolaos Karalis, and Prof. Dr. Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo, Tentris is translating years of pioneering research into one of Europe's most promising AI infrastructure companies. Bloomhaus is excited to support the entire Tentris team as they build the next generation of graph database technology.
