Data is has become exclusive and is now viewed with suspicion. Over the last decade, concerns about data privacy, security breaches as well as complex regulations have made many people skeptical about the use of data and its questionable sources. At the same time, the increasing complexity of the data stack has excluded many individuals and groups from the data experience, limiting their ability to use data to inform decisions and understand the world around them.
Our aim is to revolutionise data as we know it. We want to rebuild trust and positivity, create transparency and informative systems, unlock economical opportunities.
Founded by two experts in data at the end of 2021 in London, Work With Data is already giving access to more than 6 billion data points through an open platform and an API, all developed using Google Cloud Platform and Python.

Our Mission, Vision and Ethics
To revolutionise data as we know it, we are focusing on three key areas: 1️⃣ Open data: we only use open and non-personal data published by reliable sources. It guarantees an ethical layer with fragmented and diverse data sources. 2️⃣ Access to it: we are creating an open platform where people can access the data easily in the best way for them and truly interact with it. 3️⃣ Our magic sauce - the AI layer: as diverse and rich open data is, it will always be incomplete. To provide the closest representation of the real world, we are filling the gaps and enriching the open data using AI models developed in house. This is what we are monetising.
