Science4Data Team

The Science4Data Team

Science4Data was founded in early 2017 with the mission of bringing AI and ML to the masses at scale.  After seeing large tech innovators gaining incredible market advantages gleaning insights from Big Data,  we set on a path to provide these advantages to more organizations at scale and with insights delivered in less than a day.  While we saw many organizations gleaning value from numeric relational data, they often had a wide gap in their ability to process semi-structured and unstructured data. Our team is committed to delivering on this promise to organizations that can benefit from consumable world class data science in their business.
