The company's algorithms extract signals from public, unstructured data such as news and legal filings, and perform analysis to assess the degree of risk associated with a particular person or organization.

Quantifind was founded in 2009 by Ari Tuchman and John Stockton,[1] two quantum physicists from Stanford University and Caltech.[2][3] With early funding from the National Science Foundation,[4] Quantifind worked on pilots for technology and defense intelligence mapping, before a meeting with Disney led the company to focus its data science on helping marketers optimize sales.[5] The company then extended its data-driven strategy business into multiple verticals including retail, financial services, entertainment, consumer packaged goods, telecom, and QSR. In 2016, Quantifind began applying its signal extraction methodology to help banks fight money laundering.

Quantifind's headquarters are located in Menlo Park, California, with additional teams in New York City, Boston, and Washington, D.C.

Description

Quantifind's technology focuses on signal extraction across structured and unstructured data sets. In 2016, Quantifind began working with financial institutions to fight money laundering and manage risk.[6] Their entity-centric technology is able to link data sets using named-entity recognition and linking (NER/NEL) to identify which customers and organizations present a fraud, money laundering, or reputational risk to the bank. In 2019, the company announced partnerships with Acuris Risk Intelligence and Oracle to "transform anti-money laundering processes" using enrichment from public data sources.[7][8]

Quantifind's clients consist of top-tier banks and government agencies. Investors in Quantifind include Redpoint Ventures, U.S. Venture Partners, Comcast Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz,[9] Iris Capital, Cathay Innovation,[10] Jerry Yang’s AME Cloud Ventures,[11][12] and Joseph Grundfest (Stanford Professor of Law and former SEC Commissioner).
