Our take
The power of external data is a hot topic, particularly for financial institutions and insurers who must stay compliant as they roll out new products. However, with the data landscape becoming increasingly fragmented, deploying external data at scale has become a significant challenge.
Founded in 2010, Demyst was an early mover in the external data space, creating a platform that helps customers quickly discover, onboard, and turn data into actionable insights. This approach enables businesses to not only make better decisions but also to generate more profit from the data they use.
Since then, Demyst has expanded globally, with offices in Australia, Singapore, and the US. The company counts major players in the financial services and insurance industries among its clients, including ANZ, Standard Chartered, and Koalifi. As demand for data continues to rise, Demyst shows no signs of slowing down, as it gears up for an IPO and is set to be listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in the near future.

Company values
- Bias for Client Outcomes: Many companies talk about customer success, or service, or advancement...insert aspirational term here. But the ability to help clients is fueled by an inherent bias for measurable client outcomes. We have that bias, and it constantly pushes us to bring ROI to our customers while driving positive economic change and social impact in the world. Do we fail sometimes along the way? Sure, but those setbacks inform future successes
- Grit: We walk through walls to get it done for our clients and for our team. We’ve been solving old problems with novel data longer than anyone else, and we embarked on this adventure before there was a real market for what we do. Being tenacious and downright scrappy is in our DNA because it has to be
- Humility: We check our egos at the door. Our vision is not clouded by arrogance and our judgment is unaffected by vanity. All we see is the problem to be solved - we listen to the data with objectivity and impartiality
- Ownership: We own what we do and we take responsibility for it. We are accountable, not only as a team and business, but also to each other. We constantly challenge each other to bring our best work to the table...by improving ourselves we deliver on our mission to unlock the power of data for good
