What burstIQ does

BurstIQ is a Denver-based, privately held software company founded in 2015 that builds LifeGraph, a privacy-first, blockchain-enabled data management platform for regulated enterprises deploying agentic AI. LifeGraph structures enterprise data into Smart Data Objects (SDOs) within an ontology-driven knowledge graph, embedding identity, permissions, provenance, and audit history directly into each data asset. The platform layers GraphRAG (vector nearest-neighbor retrieval combined with graph traversal for multi-hop reasoning), an MCP Server implementing Anthropic's Model Context Protocol, blockchain-backed Consent Contracts, a Job Manager for bulk ingest, and Schema Management. SOC-2 Type II certified since 2021, the platform targets healthcare, life sciences, financial services, and education buyers who must reconcile HIPAA, GDPR, FERPA, SEC, and FINRA requirements while operationalizing AI agents.

The company monetizes LifeGraph through monthly enterprise subscriptions: a Pre-Production environment at $5,000/month and a Production environment at $10,000/month (both SOC-2 Type II compliant), plus usage-based fees per live environment. Personalized support plans range from Gold at $5,900/month to Platinum at $15,100/month, with application and middleware hosting at $1,000/month per environment. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise field sales targeting regulated buyers, supplemented by distribution through AWS Marketplace and the MongoDB Ecosystem. Disclosed customer logos include Colorado Coalition for the Homeless and Maryville University; partnerships span AWS, MongoDB, and Dock Labs. As of the most recent data, burstIQ employs 1-10 people and has raised approximately $6.5M across disclosed rounds (2015-2022), with leadership led by CEO Frank Ricotta, President/COO Brian Jackson, CSO Amber Mortensen, and CTO Tyson Henry.
