David Korn is Co-Founder and CTO of Ontora (YC P26), a Y Combinator-backed AI startup based in San Francisco that deploys AI agents to interview every employee in an organization and surface operational knowledge in hours rather than months.
David studied Software Engineering at CODE University of Applied Sciences, worked on AI projects at Google, and previously exited a company to beglaubigt.de (YC F24), demonstrating a strong track record in building and scaling tech ventures.
With deep expertise in building complex data pipelines and financial systems, David brings rare technical depth to the challenge of making tacit organizational knowledge machine-readable and actionable for enterprise AI transformation.
At Ontora, David leads product and AI agent architecture, turning unstructured employee knowledge into structured context layers that power automation roadmaps and process maps for mid-market and enterprise clients.
Within weeks of launching, Ontora attracted 150+ inbound demo calls, secured 5 enterprise design partners, raised $700K pre-round, and fielded 80+ inbound VC calls, all without a single outbound sales effort.
