Silverthorne, Colorado, United States

Kamiwaza is a Silverthorne, Colorado enterprise AI software company legally identified in SEC filings as Kamiwaza Corp., a Delaware corporation formed in 2024. Co-founders Luke Norris and Matt (Matthew) Wallace lead the company as CEO and CTO. Its distributed AI orchestration platform connects models, enterprise data and applications across cloud, on-premises and edge infrastructure while keeping data within the customer’s security perimeter. The platform combines a distributed data engine, inference mesh, contextual ontologies and governance tools for regulated businesses and government, including healthcare, finance and secure document workflows. Kamiwaza 1.0 became generally available in 2026; supported deployments and partner integrations are distinguished from investor relationships. SEC filings verify two completed offerings: $2.5 million pre-seed and $8,499,913 seed, rounded to $8.5 million in the company’s January2025 announcement. The announced $11 million is their combined total, not an additional round. S3 Ventures and Pioneer Square Labs were named seed co-leads. Three August2026 operating hires expand commercial, federal and finance leadership. Former Field CTO James Urquhart’s own recent departure statement supersedes older company appointment pages; an exact departure day is not disclosed.
