Company mission
Black Swan Data's mission is to help today’s businesses transform the way they create value from data using the power of technology, data science and prediction.
Our take
Black Swan Data aims to disrupt the $90 billion global market research industry by using AI to unlock insights from data and content published by consumers online. The company claims to predict consumer needs and trends, with an 89% accuracy rating, more than six months into the future.
With customers including the likes of PepsiCo, Harley Davidson, Danone, Cosnova, J&J, Kraft Heinz, and P&G, the company's subscription revenues grew by more than 100% each year from 2018-2021.
As companies increasingly look towards the power of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence to get an edge over competitors, Black Swan's state-of-the-art tool will only become more valuable.
Recent funding is driving the development of more advanced features and capabilities in Trendscope, the platform’s core software platform, and its expansion in the US market.
