Infermaven is two people, by design. Between us we have written the code, launched the developer tools and set the prices for cloud and GenAI products, most recently at Databricks. Now we price the AI systems you are about to build.
Neel has spent his career in technology business strategy, from business development and M&A to monetization planning. Most recently at Databricks, he led pricing and commercialization for more than 60 GenAI launches. Nearly every deal raised the same question: what will this system cost in production? Infermaven exists to answer it before the system is built.
Johanna started as a software developer building financial systems for the federal government and Fortune 100 clients, then spent six years marketing Microsoft's developer and cloud launches, from SharePoint to Visual Studio. That mix of code and go-to-market shapes how Johanna architects and improves the system's pricing engine. At Infermaven, Johanna runs operations and the pricing data behind every estimate.
An Infermaven estimate is a workload graph priced against a catalogue. Neel designs the graph. Johanna keeps the catalogue honest. Neither half is worth much without the other.
Between us, we have priced GenAI at Databricks and packaged developer and cloud editions at Microsoft. Infermaven models how vendors actually sell: on-demand, batch, provisioned throughput and prompt caching.
We each spent years in Microsoft's developer tools business: Neel on the business plans and pricing, Johanna on the launches. So we build for the engineers and sellers who get asked what an AI system will cost.
Johanna's rule for every test we run: what would this look like if it were broken? If the answer is “the same”, we replace the test.
Every message reaches both of us. Bring a workload and we will run the first estimate with you.
