BUILT FOR A PURPOSE
CONFRONTING THE WORLD'S MOST CRITICAL PROBLEMS THROUGH DATAINTELLIGENCE
For 5 years, we built tools to help our data team execute large-scale data projects — minus all the chaos. Our tech helped our data team create magic. In 2019, we opened up our tools for data teams aroundthe world.

WE WERE FOUNDED TO BRING DATA TO THE PROBLEMS THAT REALLY MATTER Today we use big data to calculate the quickest route home and track our food deliveries. Yet we don't use it to calculate the safest route home or track food distributed for people under the poverty line. The big data revolution is here. Why aren't the world's most critical problems — the ones that determine billions of peoples' health, security and happiness — part of it? Back in 2013, our co-founders came together and started SocialCops to give these problems a fair fight.

MEANWHILE, WE BUILT INTERNAL TOOLS TO SUPERCHARGE OUR DATA TEAM As we got our hands dirty project by project, we realized that despite our passion, there were still inefficiencies within our data and our data team. We started building tools & technology to make ourselves more agile and productive.
