About
Keewano (legally Sandstorm Ltd.), headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, was co-founded in 2024 by Mark Kardashov, Vitaly Bukhovsky, Pavel Bibergal and Dima Karger. The company built KeewanoDB, a database architected from the ground up for machine reasoning at scale: it captures every user, device, and AI-agent action as a live, ordered, context-rich event stream grouped by entity, letting AI agents query the full historical record and run analysis directly inside the database without traditional ETL pipelines or precomputed aggregates. It integrates alongside or replaces existing data warehouses such as Kafka, Postgres, Snowflake, and BigQuery.
