Graphite Note, a pioneering no-code predictive analytics company, has experienced significant growth and development since joining the RDI Hub community four years ago. The company’s journey exemplifies the power of innovation and community support in the tech industry.
Inception and Vision
Founded by Hrvoje Smolic, Graphite Note set out to democratise data analytics and machine learning. With over 20 years of experience in business intelligence and data visualization, Smolic recognized the growing need for AI-powered solutions that didn’t require specialised coding skills. This vision led to the creation of Graphite Note, a platform that enables businesses to leverage predictive analytics without the need for a dedicated data science team. At a training event in the RDI Hub led by Vinnie Lynch, a sales scientist and veteran of the startup world, the two got talking. They discovered ‘a scientific alignment’ and in September 2022 Vinnie joined Graphite Note as Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer.
RDI Hub Membership and Growth
Joining the RDI Hub community proved to be a pivotal moment for Graphite Note. The hub, known for its thriving ecosystem of entrepreneurship and business growth in the Southwest, provided Graphite Note with invaluable mentors, networking and opportunities.
Impact and Recognition
The Graphite Note team has grown from a sole founder to a team of seven. They have been featured across media such as Business Post, The Currency, ThinkBusiness.ie, That Great Business Show with Conall O Morain, and more. Their platform has gained traction across various industries, including technology, manufacturing, ecommerce and retail, SaaS.
Future Outlook
As Graphite Note continues to grow, it remains committed to its mission of making data analytics and machine learning accessible to businesses of all sizes. With the ongoing support of the RDI Hub and its community, Graphite Note is well-positioned to continue its trajectory as a disruptor in the no-code AI space.
