Calgary-based Chata.ai has raised US$10 million in Series A funding to expand its conversational data platform for financial services, as demand grows for more reliable AI analytics in regulated environments.
The round was led by 7RIDGE, with participation from Izou Partners, signaling growing institutional support for Chata.ai’s approach to precision-driven analytics. The capital will be used to accelerate product development and expand beyond the company’s current customer base into traditional finance, decentralized finance (DeFi), and wealthtech markets.
Chata.ai enables financial professionals to query data using natural language, eliminating the need to rely on static dashboards or technical teams for routine analysis and reporting. Those queries can also be converted into automated “AI workers” that monitor data and generate ongoing insights.
Unlike many AI systems that rely on probabilistic models and GPU-intensive processing, Chata.ai uses a deterministic AI architecture that runs on CPUs. This approach ensures consistent, repeatable responses—addressing the “black box” and hallucination risks that have slowed AI adoption in highly regulated financial environments—while also significantly reducing compute costs.

“We are entering an era where precision is the only currency that matters,” said Kelly Cherniwchan, founder and CEO of Chata Technologies Inc. “Financial professionals can’t afford ‘likely’ answers—they need consistency. With this Series A, we’re scaling a platform that acts as a trusted source of truth for both people and AI agents, without requiring massive GPU infrastructure.”
The funding positions Chata.ai to broaden its footprint as financial institutions increasingly look for AI tools that balance automation with transparency, auditability, and cost efficiency.
