In2lytics

In2lytics operates in the database software industry, providing a data analytics platform engineered to manage and analyze time-series data from Internet of Things (IoT) devices and other metadata sources. The company is headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The firm was co-founded by Nelson Kanemoto, who also founded Referentia Systems, a developer of IT solutions for the Department of Defense and critical infrastructure sectors. The management team includes President and CEO Theodore Liu and COO Iris Koga. Liu's background spans law, investment banking with Morgan Stanley, and co-founding PacifiCap, Hawaii's largest venture capital firm. Koga brings extensive experience in project management, hardware/software implementation, and systems analysis. Matthew Shawver is also listed as a co-founder and serves as the Chief Technology Officer.

In2lytics has developed a proprietary, highly scalable time-series database technology from the ground up, independent of existing commercial or open-source products. This platform is designed for the efficient integration of multi-rate, multi-source time-series data, offering advantages in storage, performance, and implementation costs. Its core functionalities include fast data ingestion, pre-processing, indexing, real-time querying, data visualization, and information sharing. The system enables organizations to gain data-driven insights for improved planning and decision-making.

The company primarily targets sectors with massive data streams, such as energy, transportation, and the broader IoT space. A key market is the utility sector, where the platform integrates disparate data from sources like SCADA, AMI, irradiance, PV, and wind to provide a comprehensive view of the grid. This is particularly valuable for utilities with high penetration of distributed energy resources, such as those in Hawaii where the system has been deployed at three local utilities. Applications built on the platform for these clients include modeling and forecasting, behind-the-meter PV estimation, and curtailment analytics. A significant milestone for the company was closing a $3 million Series A financing round in May 2017.
