Graphiq: Our mission is to drastically simplify the process of obtaining the world’s knowledge. We turn complicated data into vivid and contextually-rich visualizations and knowledge products.

Everything we do is built upon our Knowledge Graph, the world’s deepest and most interconnected collection of data points and contextual information on the internet. It’s made up of 120 billion data points, describing 1 billion entities across 1,000+ collections. Our Knowledge Graph relies on thousands of public and private data sources and a dedicated team of 60+ researchers and data scientists who continuously maintain, relate, and develop it.

Every day, millions of people interact with our Knowledge Graph through our vertical search engines. The world’s leading journalists enrich their articles with our authoritative visualizations. Enterprise customers gain direct access to our Knowledge Graph to make their products more compelling and interactive.
