Knowledge graphs for startups: Make every dollar and hour count in your early days

Startups often begin with bold visions and lean operations, pushing every resource to its limits. Founders rally their teams to bring the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to life, but the road to product-market fit and scaling is full of hurdles: disconnected tools, team silos, and scattered knowledge.

This is where DevRev comes in — an AI-native platform powered by an intelligent Knowledge Graph that unifies product development, customer support, and business growth.

The power of an AI Knowledge Graph

With startups being fast-paced, agility is key. The ability to learn from every customer interaction, bug fix, and product iteration is essential for rapid growth. However, valuable data often lives in isolated systems, spread across various tools. DevRev’s AI Knowledge Graph connects these data points in real time, turning chaos into clarity and creating a seamless ecosystem that links features, user stories, customer tickets, and developer contributions.

• Imagine your engineering team being able to see exactly which feature requests are tied to your top customers.
• Or your sales team having a holistic view of customers including engagement health, user journeys and sentiment analysis without even asking for CSAT scores.
• Or your product managers having the data they need to prioritize the roadmap based on direct customer impact, not just intuition.

This interconnected Knowledge Graph offers a single source of truth that helps your team grow, providing actionable insights across every stage of your startup’s journey.

Phase 1: Accelerating your MVP development

In the critical Minimum Viable Product (MVP) phase, startups must move quickly and effectively. DevRev supports accelerates this process by:

• Conversational workflows: Automating repetitive tasks via workflows using natural language conversations which allows your team to focus on high-value work—speeding up your product iteration and improving outcomes.
• Contextual Search: Quickly surfaces the right data across teams (support tickets, feature requests, sales pipeline and developer tasks), ensuring decisions are made with full context, enabling informational symmetry from early days and more accurate decisions.

Phase 2: Scaling without growing pains

As your startup grows, so do the complexities of managing teams and priorities. What works with a small team could become convoluted at scale. DevRev helps streamline this evolution by providing:

Phase 3: Sustaining growth and innovation

As you evolve into a market leader, staying innovative and efficient becomes critical. DevRev helps startups continue to grow and lead with:

• Building custom AI Agents: With DevRev’s foundation of AI Knowledge Graph, powered by search, analytics and workflows capabilities, it’s incredibly easy for startups to build their own AI Agents and applications without worrying about underlying LLMs, RAG, VectorDB and all the heavy lifting to set it up.
• Customer-centric innovation: Integrating real-time customer feedback, usage data, and sales insights into the product development process ensures your products evolve in line with customer needs.
