Semantra™ was founded in 2003 by Marvin Elder, a database technologist and Natural Language pioneer. Elder invented the first PC-based database application with built-in natural language in the 1980s (Salvo) which was featured as one of the Best Database Products of the Year by PC Magazine.

Early years of research and development set the stage for commercial development in 2006 as Semantra began working with Fortune 1000 companies in a variety of industries. After receiving a third round of funding in 2008, Semantra has continued to support its growth plans by building out its executive management team.

The company is headquartered in Dallas, Texas with growth plans for other major cities within the U.S. and expansion internationally based on market requirements.

Semantra’s business model includes opportunities for sales and service partners, as well as tier-1 software publishers. For more about these opportunities, visit our partners page or contact us directly.
