We're Ooak Data

Ooak Data turns company data into training data for AI agents.

Frontier labs can train models to reason. They cannot train them to work: navigating a real company's Slack threads, half-finished Notion docs, contradictory Jira tickets, and permission boundaries. That requires real enterprise data, and you cannot synthesize it. You have to source it.

We plug into enterprise tools, anonymize everything into a structurally identical digital twin, and generate reinforcement-learning environments with expert-level tasks calibrated against frontier models.

We are a Y Combinator company with 8 figures contracts signed with frontier AI labs, and we are scaling delivery aggressively over the next months.

🤝 Our values

• Trust, the foundation of every relationship, internal and external. We extend it by default and value the ownership that comes with it.
• Ambition, we commit, we move fast, with tenacity and efficiency.
• Collective, team first, low ego.
• Kindness, at the heart of every interaction.
