About Sana

We're on a mission to revolutionize how humans access knowledge through artificial intelligence. Throughout history, breakthroughs in knowledge sharing - from the Library of Alexandria to the printing press to Google - have been pivotal drivers of human progress. Today, as the volume of human knowledge grows exponentially, making it accessible and actionable remains one of humanity's most critical challenges. We're building a future where knowledge isn't just more accessible - it's a catalyst for achieving the previously impossible. If all of this sounds exciting, you’re in the right place.

Who you will work with

With talent density as our main north star, we have assembled a founding team of exceptional individuals from Google AI, Spotify, McKinsey, BCG, and Slack, all on a mission to reshape how humans access and use knowledge. Our AI products are already trusted by pioneering global companies and have served over 1 million users worldwide. We are backed by $130M+ in funding from leading investors including NEA, Menlo Ventures, and EQT Ventures. We've been recognized as a LinkedIn Top Startup, earned Fast Company's 2024 Next Big Things in Tech for AI & Data award, and been named to Forbes AI 50 list of top business AI companies. Yet we're just beginning our journey to transform how organizations and humans harness knowledge.
