Guru

AI-powered company wiki and knowledge platform that verifies answers and surfaces them inside Slack and CRMs.

Guru was founded in 2013 by Rick Nucci and Mitchell Stewart and is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Nucci previously founded Boomi, an early cloud integration platform later acquired by Dell, and started Guru to address a similar structural problem inside companies: information scattered across tools with no reliable way to verify it's still accurate. The company has raised roughly $68-70 million across several rounds from investors including Accel, FirstMark, Emergence Capital, and Slack Fund, with its most recent disclosed round a $30 million Series C in 2020. Guru's product centers on "cards" — short, verified knowledge entries with an expiration and re-verification workflow, so a subject-matter expert has to periodically confirm a card is still accurate or it gets flagged as potentially stale. That verification loop is the feature Guru is best known for among enterprise knowledge tools, aimed specifically at preventing the kind of knowledge rot that makes internal wikis unreliable over time. The platform surfaces cards directly inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, Zendesk, and browser extensions rather than requiring people to visit a separate wiki site. More recently Guru has added AI search and an AI assistant that answers questions by pulling from verified cards and connected company tools, positioning itself as a governed knowledge layer for support, sales, and customer-facing teams at mid-size and larger companies.
