Our take
More data was generated in the last two years than in the entirety of human history. This trend will only continue, and extracting value out of this information will be one of the defining topics of the 21st century.
Intropic's Data Refinery is designed to revolutionise the ease with which companies and enterprises interact with information, starting with the finance industry. According to IBM, more than 70% of companies are lagging in their ability to derive value from the data they collect, meaning they are missing out on the insights and advantages a comprehensive analysis can bring.
Intropic aims to capitalise on this increasingly open and challenging market as more companies seek to develop their data infrastructure and tooling to benefit from the knowledge it holds.

Company values
- We are here to win big and deserve to win big To win big we must deserve to win big. Deserving to win big means creating huge amounts of value for other people. There may be other ways of winning but not the story we want to write. This is why it is all about the customer! Creating a sustainable business is a vehicle for continuous, long term value creation. This is ultimately what motivates us. We are here to make a dent in the universe, not for a 9 to 5.
- We have high Velocity We value our time. Our time is limited. We are all dead in the long run. There is a high opportunity cost. We would all rather win sooner rather than later. We want to be on exponential growth curves, not linear ones.
- Working Hard doesn't guarantee success but it maximizes our chances In order to win, there are often variables outside of our control. Some days these go against us and we go hungry. Some days luck will be on our side. But everyday we bring a disciplined work ethic: Working Hard - creating valuable stuff is not easy, so we embrace hard problems. Working Smart - we are only a small unit so we need to be resourceful. Working Long - working more hours in the day will improve velocity. ** ** We need to be mature, professional & manage ourselves at the same time. If we are not winning we are proactive & willing to put in the hours to give ourselves the best chance of success. We will celebrate these habits but it doesn't override our accountability.
- Continuous learning helps as individuals but it is also great business We take our personal growth seriously, this is good for us but it is also good business. We take a proactive approach to continuously learning. This means reading widely & applying what others have done before to the problem at hand. Putting our thinking into action & demonstrating what we have read in practice is perhaps the most important part of the learning process. We have to solve hard problems & work smart to create lots of value & learning is a key to unlocking.
- Our culture is an advantage that matters & we need to build it.
- We are Truth Seekers We are always striving to get to the truth of the matter. Getting to the essence of the challenge we are working on allows us to: transcend the axioms of the system, create better mental frameworks for design & build better solutions in whatever we do. This can be applied to any discipline / challenge / problem.
- We are Accountable We all have a part to play and we own it. We take accountability for the outcome. It is the outcomes we deliver for customers, fellow team-mates & ourselves that matters most. Hard work & good process, skillsets are a necessary ingredient but it doesn't give you a right to win.
