“Businesses and their employees are overwhelmed with overly complex business processes using too many technologies,” said Don Rainey, General Partner, Grotech Ventures. “Companies are struggling with how to manage legacy apps, new digital transformation projects, and challenging labor markets. Krista changes all that. Grotech is proud to be a catalyst to help fuel Krista’s continued success and bring AI to more companies,” Rainey continued.

Krista enables them to do this in minutes instead of waiting months and accelerates innovation,” said John Michelsen, CEO, Krista Software. “Other platforms are indistinguishable from their 40-year-old ancestors and deliver the same results they did decades ago.”
