Company mission

HASH's mission is to eliminate information failure, and enable everybody to make better decisions.

Our take

HASH is an open-source platform for simulating complex problems – such as the spread of disease, behaviour in an economy and changes to the environment. It does this quickly, cost effectively and without requiring specialised expertise. By lowering the barriers to creating simulations, HASH is fostering greater access to information and empowering users to probe and understand some of the world's most challenging questions.

The company has its eye towards the future - the next wave of AI will be about understanding complex systems such as the climate, human biology and global economy. Therefore, HASH's simulation products will become crucial in generating the data on which to build models to understand complex systems in an open and organised way.

HASH is backed by Joel Spolsky, who serves as the company's chairman and is the founder of companies such as Stack Overflow, a global top-50 trafficked website, and Trello, which was acquired by Atlassian. Another early investor in HASH is Anthony Goldbloom, founder of the world's largest data community, Kaggle, which was acquired by Google. And if any of their previous successes could serve as an indicator, HASH might be in good standing for years to come.
