George Curtis

George Curtis is the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of HelixDB, an artificial intelligence database infrastructure startup located in San Francisco, California. He established the enterprise in 2025 alongside co-founder Xavier Cochran to engineer an open-source graph-vector database specifically designed for retrieval-augmented generation applications and advanced AI agents. Under his executive leadership, the early-stage company has expanded to a team of approximately six employees and successfully secured a position within the highly competitive Y Combinator Spring 2025 cohort. The core technology platform currently supports hundreds of independent software developers building complex machine learning projects, and it has already secured an enterprise integration with at least one major Fortune 500 company. Curtis maintains a primary focus on driving strategic corporate direction, scaling operational execution, and advancing database infrastructure that integrates semantic meaning with data relationships for large language models.
