About Skyfall

We're building something the enterprise world doesn't have yet: an Enterprise World Model.

While the rest of the field races to scale LLMs as the primary path to intelligence, we see a more principled opportunity in a hybrid architecture by combining the semantic richness of LLMs with the structural reasoning capabilities of world models. As such, we are developing Enterprise World Models (EWMs) that can understand, simulate, and act across complex enterprise systems. This isn't our first time building something that matters. Skyfall was founded by the original Maluuba team, pioneers of the deep learning revolution, who worked closely with leaders such as Yoshua Bengio and Richard Sutton, before Maluuba’s $160M acquisition by Microsoft, where it became Microsoft’s AI research center in Canada. We've built companies before. We've made research breakthroughs before. Now we're doing it again, this time with a clear target: the next $5B enterprise AI company.We're VC-backed, moving fast, and assembling a world-class team to match our ambitions.

We're not building another AI wrapper instead we are building the next foundation layer for enterprise AI.
