7Rivers Secures $5M Series A Funding to Scale Snowflake AI Data Solutions

7Rivers, an innovative technology services firm that helps organizations leverage data and AI to generate measurable business impact, announced it has secured $5 million in Series A funding. The investment was led by Inoca Capital Partners, which acquired a minority stake in the company.

As a certified Snowflake Elite Partner, 7Rivers supports enterprises on their digital transformation journeys, using the Snowflake AI Data Cloud as a scalable platform for modernization and AI-driven innovation. This funding represents the next phase in the company’s growth, advancing its goal of helping customers become Data Native® and AI-powered organizations.

“Our goal at 7Rivers is to enable individuals and businesses to reach their full potential through data and AI,” said Paul Stillmank, Founder of 7Rivers.

“We see the enterprise of the future as one where human expertise and AI work together to produce meaningful results. This investment allows us to expand that vision by strengthening our team, solutions, and accelerators so clients can transform more rapidly. Snowflake provides the scalability, intelligence, and reliability required to bring this vision to life.”

7Rivers has rapidly established itself as a trusted Snowflake specialist, recently earning industry competencies across financial services, manufacturing, technology, media and communications, and retail. Its Data Native framework and Snowflake-aligned accelerators help organizations overcome technical challenges, optimize data pipelines, and deliver tangible business value efficiently.

“Inoca Capital supports companies that drive change and foster scalable growth,” said Chris Sheffert, Managing Director at Inoca Capital Partners.

“7Rivers’ strong consulting capabilities and outcome-focused approach make it a standout partner in the Snowflake ecosystem. We’re excited to support their next stage of expansion.”

7Rivers offers a distinct value proposition within the Snowflake partner ecosystem, including Snowflake-certified data engineers and architects, strategic accelerators that shorten time-to-insight and reduce costs, expertise in Data Vault 2.0 and AI/ML implementations, and secure custom GenAI applications built natively on Snowflake’s AI/ML platform.

With the new funding, 7Rivers plans to expand Snowflake-focused delivery and product teams, scale GenAI offerings within and beyond the Snowflake Marketplace, develop industry-specific solution templates and use case libraries, and strengthen sales, marketing, and partner enablement initiatives to grow in existing and new markets.

“This collaboration with Snowflake reflects a shared vision for the future of intelligent, AI-driven enterprises,” said Ben Kerford, President of 7Rivers.

“With Inoca’s support, we’re ready to accelerate innovation and help clients unlock new business value. This investment enables us to broaden our reach, deepen our Snowflake partnership, and expand our Data Native® application portfolio while scaling our go-to-market efforts.”
