Founding Story
Edo Liberty founded Pinecone in 2019. As a highly elite AI researcher managing massive machine learning systems at Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Yahoo, he realized that traditional databases were completely incapable of handling the highly complex 'vector embeddings' required for modern AI models. He left AWS to build the absolute first purpose-built, cloud-native vector database, perfectly anticipating the explosive rise of generative AI. Edo Liberty was born in 1981.
