Founding Story
Pulse was started in 2024 after the founders saw operations teams dealing with critical business data trapped in millions of spreadsheets and PDFs. They set out to solve the failure of legacy OCR, parsers, and newer AI systems on complex tables, messy formatting, and domain-specific documents, with a vision of building reliable data-ingestion infrastructure for the next generation of AI systems.
