About Entrada AI

Entrada AI is a specialized consulting partner and a strategic portfolio company of Databricks Ventures. We were recently named the Genie Partner of the Year (2026) for our work deploying Databricks Genie at enterprise scale—bridging the gap between AI ambition and the trusted, governed data required for accurate responses.
