We're well-funded by top tier venture firms and growing fast. Founded by talented entrepreneurs from top schools (MIT, Harvard, Brown, Stanford, Princeton) with deep industry experience from top data companies (Endeca, AsterData, KAYAK, TripAdvisor, Knome, Generation Health), our expertise span big-data, healthcare, technology, and law.
