Agnostic

What Agnostic does

Agnostic is a Paris-based data infrastructure and AI solutions company founded in 2022, operating with a 1-10 person team. The company operates two interrelated business lines: an enterprise data and AI consulting practice and a blockchain data SaaS platform. The consulting business designs, builds, and manages enterprise-grade data infrastructure centered on ClickHouse, covering high-performance cluster deployment, real-time Kafka-based data pipelines, AI/LLM pipeline integration, and semantic search/RAG systems. Engagements are sold through direct enterprise sales (consultation booking via Google Calendar), structured as 4-8 week initial deployments starting at $150/hour with multi-year support packages. Documented client outcomes include 95% query time reductions, 70% infrastructure cost savings, and sub-30ms matching across 2B+ daily impressions for ad-tech deployments.

The company's product portfolio includes the EVM Blockchain Data SaaS Platform — launched in 2022, providing low-latency SQL and GraphQL APIs for Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum blockchain data — and AGX, an AI-powered data visualization tool. Agnostic also maintains open-source infrastructure including clickhouse-evm, a Rust-built set of ClickHouse User Defined Functions for EVM data processing. The firm is vendor-neutral by design, positioning across the modern data stack (ClickHouse, Kafka, Apache Iceberg, DataFusion, Grafana, dbt, PyTorch, TensorFlow).

The company raised €2 million in seed funding in March 2024 from blockchain-focused investors (Blueyard Capital, Kima Ventures, Stake Capital, TRGC, Domicane Ventures, Atka). Founder Didier Franc leads the company, which operates from Paris with a claimed global customer base spanning SaaS, ad tech, e-commerce, and blockchain verticals. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the business model relies primarily on professional services with emerging SaaS productization.

Others

• ClickHouse: Vendor behind the ClickHouse database that underpins all of Agnostic's flagship services. ClickHouse is simultaneously Agnostic's deepest technology partner and a long-term competitive risk as the vendor formalizes its own services arm.

Direct peers

• Dune Analytics: Community-driven blockchain analytics platform that lets users query on-chain data via SQL. Dune competes with Agnostic's blockchain analytics positioning for crypto-native analysts and protocol teams, particularly on EVM chains.
• Fivetran: Managed data integration platform central to many of the same enterprise data modernization projects Agnostic delivers. Both address the pain of getting data into an analytics-ready warehouse, with overlapping buyer personas (data platform leaders at mid-market and enterprise).
• dbt Labs: Creator of dbt, the transformation tool that sits in Agnostic's own tech stack. Both companies occupy the 'modern data stack consulting + tooling' niche and serve overlapping enterprise analytics buyers, though dbt's product side is much larger.
• Tinybird: ClickHouse-native real-time analytics platform offering both a managed product and professional services. Tinybird is the closest comparable: a ClickHouse-first company combining data APIs with consulting-style implementation support, targeting the same enterprise analytics workloads.
• The Graph: Decentralized indexing protocol for blockchain data, exposing GraphQL APIs over EVM chains. The Graph is the closest direct competitor to Agnostic's EVM blockchain data SaaS, serving the same developer audience for Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum data.
• Alchemy: Blockchain developer platform with enhanced APIs for EVM chains. Alchemy competes with Agnostic's blockchain SaaS on raw API access and developer mindshare, and has raised substantially more capital to expand its product surface.

Broad incumbents

• Confluent: Commercial vendor behind Apache Kafka, a core technology in Agnostic's data engineering stack. Confluent's professional services and partner ecosystem overlap with Agnostic's streaming pipeline implementations, but at enterprise scale with proprietary tooling.
• Databricks: Lakehouse platform combining data warehousing, ETL, and ML/AI. Databricks' professional services arm and partner ecosystem compete directly for the same AI-pipeline and RAG implementation budgets that Agnostic targets, but at vastly larger scale.

Emerging players

• Covalent: Unified blockchain data API offering historical and real-time data across dozens of chains. Covalent is a comparable emerging alternative to Agnostic's EVM SaaS with broader chain coverage and a developer-first go-to-market.
