EON CEO: You Could train AI Using Your Backups | Builders Series

Watch our exclusive interview with Ofir Ehrlich, Co-Founder and CEO of Eon.io. As companies need more data to train their #agents, Eon.io has grown rapidly, #raising over $500M in just two years to chase a $100B+ market #opportunity. We explored how their platform enables organizations to retrieve and extract #data directly from cloud #backups with minimal overhead, while also indexing that data so it can be used for #AI and BI applications. One particularly compelling case study we touched on was their work with SoFi, where Eon.io reduced #data retrieval times from days to minutes and delivered over 100% #ROI in the first year. Interestingly, because the solution is #agentless, clients don’t need to install any #software. That led to a discussion about how the company #balances the access needed and data governance. We then explored how the #cloud is evolving into a “nervous system” for organizations, and whether this shift means organizations are moving away from buying #infrastructure like VMs and toward purchasing outcomes such as #automation From there, we discussed the broader cloud #ecosystem and whether, in the near future, it will become easier for companies to move workloads between #cloud providers. Lastly, we touched on Ofir’s angel #investments, including the green flags he looks for in founders, and the ultimate question: what matters more - choosing the right #team or the right #market? And take a guess what is Ofir favorite #Movie? 🚀🌕🧑‍🚀 Check our new website: https://www.boardroomclub.net Check out our new YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BoardroomClub Interviewers: Yossi Garmazi & Álvaro Jiménez Cabello de los Cobos. #tech #ai #data #cloud #backup Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:04 Creating a Product in Data 03:11 Raising funds 06:34 Eon´s Products 09:48 Building Value in Data Recovery 13:27 Balancing safety and access 15:01 LLM Pipelines? 18:00 Evolution of data management in the age of AI 20:55 Cloud as a company´s nervous system 23:39 Cloud providers and standards 27:11 Green flags in Angel Investing 29:11 Exciting verticals to invest in 30:53 Advice for entrepreneurs 33:03 Hobbies outside of work 34:48 Coffee with a historical figure 35:37 Favorite Movie 35:49 Alternative life to entrepreneurship
