Hey everyone! With our MVP, we try to use concept extraction and classification to automatically provide a ‘company fingerprint’. Feel free to give it a try, all feedback is welcome! Thanks

It’s cool, I’m getting pretty accurate tags for the companies I’ve searched. How does this work?

Pretty nice! The tagging is actually quite good. Is there any plans to provide an API? Would be awesome.

we start with some automated content acquisition, before we use nlp for keyword extraction and tagging. The company-tag description is then located in a huge tech-domain-specific vector space. From vector space similarities and a couple of heuristics, we derive the company classification.

Great idea, but unfortunately I did not get results for some companies I’ve searched.

Hi Peter, thx for giving our hack a spin. I’m glad it worked for you :) Feedback encourages us to continue and maybe working on an API, stay tuned!

Thanks for trying it out, sorry if we did not find the companies you’ve searched for. What companies did you search? I’d like to investigate, where the problem comes from...
