Next-generation enterprise operations
We're building an operations and intelligence platform that connects your systems, surfaces opportunities fast, and turns repeatable analysis into automated workflows.
Built by Operators, For Operators
Permute was founded by engineers with deep operational experience who understand the real-world challenges that business operators face. We've lived through the pain of scattered data and the frustration of knowing insights exist but not being able to access them.
We have wide-ranging experience across Y Combinator (2017 batch), MLOps, Generative AI, Cybersecurity, Finance, and Space & Defense technology. This diverse background gives us unique insights into the challenges business leaders face when trying to make data-driven decisions.
We've seen firsthand how organizations spend millions on consultants and data teams to build infrastructure that quickly becomes technical debt. That's why we built Permute - An autonomous operations platform that learns your systems, builds the plumbing, and delivers proactive insights and automations without the overhead.
Our mission is simple: Give every business operator the power to automate operations, understand their data, identify opportunities, and make better decisions faster - without the need for large data teams or expensive infrastructure.
Our Approach
Autonomous from Day One
Unlike traditional BI tools that require manual queries, Permute was designed from the ground up as an autonomous agent that proactively identifies patterns, risks, and opportunities in your business data.
Enterprise-Ready Scale
Built to handle the complexity and scale of modern businesses, with support for CRM systems, cloud platforms, document repositories, and the legacy systems you already use.
Security-First Design
Drawing from our cybersecurity and defense experience, Permute is built with enterprise-grade security and compliance at its core, protecting your sensitive business data.
