Company mission
To challenge the issues of privacy, security, and data access that accompanies the rise of large-scale data collection and machine learning.
-19% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
The fall-out from large-scale privacy breaches can be devastating across social, political, and economic fields. It can prove a multi-million dollar mistake for companies themselves. As can non-compliance with increasingly complex and restrictive privacy regulations. LeapYear Technologies enables companies to analyze and monetize sensitive data, without extracting information about individual records.
Machine learning with large and sensitive data sets continues to yield ground-breaking advances across various sectors, but it will need to contend with ethical requirements if it is to continue apace. LeapYear have attracted over 1,000 clients across healthcare, finance, and insurance, and their enterprise platform for 'differentially private machine learning' is in high demand.
Having amassed great success in the sector, it was announced early in 2023 that LeapYear would be acquired by Snowflake "subject to customary closing conditions", a move which will see LeapYear's team and technology brought into Snowflake to help its customers leverage previously off-limits data.
