Kepler
An enterprise software company co-founded by Vinoo Ganesh, focused on delivering enterprise solutions through the Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) model.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Kepler started in finance, and its technical architecture applies to regulated industries where accuracy is critical, such as insurance claims, manufacturing, law, defense, and FoF.
Kepler CEO Vinoo Ganesh worked at Palantir for seven years, in charge of Spark and the compute side of the business, then founded and sold an alternative-data company, and subsequently served as head of business engineering at Citadel.
Kepler's core team members come from companies such as Palantir, Meta, Goldman, and Reflection AI, among them Sarah, who was one of the engineering leads for Palantir Ontology, and Chris, who worked at Palantir for 15 years focusing on optimization problems.
Kepler's core technical promise is that the model never writes numbers—numbers and facts are provided by external databases and deterministic tools.
The Kepler platform extracts facts (numbers, entities, people, places, etc.) through a large-scale preprocessing step, tags each fact with metadata (relations, magnitudes, units, etc.), and persists them in a provenance ledger.
Kepler has an MCP connector in Claude, which Anthropic actively requested.
In the Kepler-Claude integration, Kepler appears as an application, and the user sees the rendered application interface rather than Claude's text output; Claude outputs code blocks or visualization blobs and retrieves facts through deterministic tools.
When conflicting information appears, Kepler's model does not choose on its own but presents the conflict itself to the user.
Ganesh sees Kepler as positioned as an execution engine rather than a vertical SaaS company, and there are currently not many teams building a 'harness' this way.
Vinoo Ganesh is a co-founder of Kepler.
