Algebraix data

Algebraix Data Corporation develops, markets and supports a single flagship product called the Advanced Analytics Database (A2DB).
The company was founded based on advances in set mathematics and advanced Algebra that process computer data differently. A2DB is the first embodiment of the company’s patents in math and is intended for analytics applications with large volumes of data.
History
Algebraix Data was founded in 2004 as Xsprada by cofounders Chris Piedmonte and David Stein in Austin, Texas. In mid-2009 the company was renamed to Algebraix Data, and named lead investor Charlie Silver CEO of the company. They also moved their headquarters to San Diego, where there’s a hotbed of analytics companies.
The company has raised $12 million in funding from angel investors. The current CEO and lead investor Charlie Silver had experienced the problems of running analytics on large volumes of data at a company he founded called RealAge. RealAge collected lifestyle information from millions of people and recommended pharmaceuticals. The company was sold to Hearst in September 2007 and it was at RealAge that Charlie first heard of Algebraix Data, which he would later fund and lead. The CEO has also been quoted identifying their work with partner BAE, including projects on geospatial intelligence software, as highly secretive.:
