Percival

Percival is a San Francisco-based software company developing an artificial intelligence copilot that enables researchers to efficiently analyze and transform complex real-world data. Operating primarily within the business-to-business sector, the enterprise provides developer tools and data science applications designed to accelerate technical research workflows. The early-stage startup currently operates with a core team of three employees and is backed by Y Combinator as a participant in its Spring 2025 accelerator batch. Previously operating under the name Percival Technologies, the remote-capable organization focuses on streamlining quantitative analysis processes by automating repetitive data transformation tasks for technical professionals. By integrating artificial intelligence directly into the research pipeline, the platform reduces the time required to process large datasets into actionable insights. The company was officially launched in 2025 to address ongoing operational inefficiencies in modern data science environments.
