Alkera - Bringing confidence and speed to your agentic data stack.

Alkera (YC S26) is building the data engineering agent: native connectors across a company’s stack, column-level lineage, and a visual graph for planning and executing data work. This was our first project together, a fixed two-week brand sprint covering their full identity, from logo through a complete visual system, timed to ship right before their public launch video and market debut.

The identity centers on a fused mark: a flask merged with the letter A, pairing the precision of experimentation with a form that reads as unmistakably Alkera’s. That idea carries through a pattern system built from simple geometric shapes, giving the brand a language for showing structured data work.

We also built Alkera a custom generative pattern tool so the system keeps producing new compositions long after the sprint ends. The team left the sprint thrilled with the result and called us great partners to work with.
