1. Technology overview
Yuki (Yuki Technologies Inc. and Yuki Technologies Ltd.) was founded in 2025 by Ido Arieli Noga (CEO) and Amir Peres (CTO), with most of the team in Israel and others in the US and UK. It targets the rising cost of Snowflake and BigQuery workloads as AI projects add query volume, and announced a $6 million seed round in January 2026.
Yuki acts as an execution layer in front of the data platform: after swapping the connection string, it maps workloads and routes queries and jobs to suitable compute, removes idle capacity and enforces budget guardrails. It supports Snowflake, BigQuery, Iceberg lakes, dbt, Airflow and Matillion, works without application code changes, and is metadata-only.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Snowflake optimisation: consolidates workloads, removes idle compute and routes queries dynamically.
- BigQuery optimisation: routes jobs between on-demand and reservation billing and reclaims idle slots.
- Transformation routing: directs dbt, Airflow and Matillion jobs by type and intensity.
- AI agent context: adds context to agent queries before they run.
- Governance: role-based access, budget guardrails and audit controls in a private deployment.
- Quick onboarding: connection string swap with no application code changes.
3. Potential application
A Vietnamese retailer or bank on Snowflake can cut idle warehouse spend without rewriting queries. A fintech on BigQuery can balance on-demand and reservation pricing across dbt and Airflow jobs.
4. Benefits
Testimonials on the site cite compute cost reductions of roughly 33% to 63%, and the company claims an average of about 42.6% in its seed announcement. Setup is said to take under an hour. Pricing is outcome-based, a percentage of actual savings with no fee if nothing is saved.
5. Market trends & opportunities
AI workloads are inflating cloud data warehouse bills, so FinOps for data platforms is a growing priority. Vietnamese enterprises moving analytics to Snowflake or BigQuery are starting to face the same cost control question.
6. Other information
Founded 2025; 15 employees at the January 2026 announcement. 6 million USD seed led by Hyperwise Ventures with VelocitX, Tal Ventures and Fresh.fund. Listed on AWS Marketplace and Snowflake Marketplace.
