Our take
System Inc provides a new framework for organizing data and knowledge into systems. It helps teams discover data, share insights, and build knowledge. This enables everyone to limit risks, make better decisions, and predict outcomes more reliably, to improve the world.
System is a Public Benefit Corporation that focuses on building a more responsible and values-driven model of a tech company. Their framework is used by data and analytics teams and their stakeholders in sectors ranging from healthcare to financial services to technology.
Adam Bly, a scientist, and serial entrepreneur is the founder and CEO of the company. He most recently led data at Spotify, following Spotify's acquisition of his last company, Seed Scientific. With this strong leadership, System is poised well to continue achieving its goals of responsible, knowledge driven tech.
