HEAVY.AI was founded as MapD Technologies in 2013 by Todd Mostak and Thomas Graham and originated from research at Harvard and MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). Cofounder Todd Mostak built the original prototype of HEAVY.AI after tiring of the inability of conventional tools to allow for interactive exploration of big datasets while conducting his Harvard graduate research on the role of Twitter in the Arab Spring. He then joined MIT as a research fellow focusing on GPU databases before turning the HEAVY.AI project into a startup.
