November 26, 2025 — Leads & Copy — The Intelligent Search Company (TISC) has emerged from stealth mode, introducing technology designed to provide rapid, intuitive decision-making capabilities to both human decision-makers and AI agents. The company aims to serve industries such as sports, emergency response, and defense, where quick access to relevant information is critical.
TISC’s technology rapidly surfaces relevant information from fragmented, fast-changing data, helping teams make informed decisions in high-pressure situations. According to the company, its technology replaces guesswork with real-time, evidence-backed insights.
The emergence of TISC’s technology is timely, as AI agents increasingly rely on standard search bars across apps and websites to find context for answers and decisions. TISC’s technology pinpoints the appropriate context in real time across various data sources to deliver needed insights instantaneously. This contrasts with traditional AI agents that run multiple query variations, slowing down results and making them unsuitable for time-sensitive situations, according to TISC.
Founded in May 2024 by CEO Arpan Bhattacharya and COO Mahbod (Moe) Sabbaghi, TISC has developed its core technology and onboarded a machine learning researcher. The company’s technology has been tested and implemented with partners in sports. This includes use with the national basketball team of an island nation in the Caribbean, several NCAA Division 1 games, and the Women’s Premier Basketball Association (WPBA).
TISC secured US$2.1 million in pre-seed funding in January 2025, co-led by OVO Fund and n49p, with participation from Panache Ventures. The funding will support the hiring of machine learning experts, expansion of early pilot programs, and the development of relationships in target markets.
According to Bhattacharya, time-constrained decisions are often made on hunches or rigid playbooks, even when relevant data exists. He says TISC’s technology can quickly find insights within data and make them accessible to both people and AI agents via an API.
TISC is working to redefine intelligent search by merging reasoning and retrieval. Unlike traditional AI systems that combine a search engine with a large language model, TISC trains a transformer model to learn what to remember and when to retrieve it over live data streams. TISC says this approach allows its world models to understand context, recognize relationships between data inputs, predict outcomes, and synthesize insights across modalities such as text, video, and sensor feeds.
Potential use cases include:
- Sports: Quickly synthesizing film, scouting reports, and live insights for play calling and in-game adjustments.
- Emergency response: Correlating emergency calls, locations, and registries to expedite responder dispatch.
- Defense: Filtering signal from noise across aircraft telemetry, radar tracks, satellite updates, and communications to aid command decisions.
Sabbaghi emphasizes the importance of fast and fluent software that does not require users to think in keywords. He says TISC is building a retrieval layer that allows humans and AI to act with speed and confidence.
Gianfranco Filice, Partner at OVO Fund, notes that the team at TISC has identified and is addressing a critical market inefficiency. He says search technology today requires users to adapt their language to the system’s design, leaving intent unexplored, a problem TISC is solving.
Alex Norman, Managing Partner at n49p, believes TISC is executing a compelling vision that will enable any human or AI to find what it needs from fragmented and complex data, regardless of how abstract the search query is.
The WPBA is testing TISC’s technology to empower its coaches to make real-time, data-backed decisions. WPBA staff will provide evidence on player growth areas and practice cutups to share with athletes. In 2026, the WPBA plans to introduce an AI assistant coach powered by TISC that can answer plain English questions with relevant clips and stats in seconds. WPBA also aims to centralize film, scouting notes, and live trends into one search for WNBA scouts, replacing manual tagging and spreadsheets.
According to Faatimah A., CEO and founder of WPBA, the future of women’s sports is AI-powered, and TISC aligns with that vision.
