As the amount and complexity of data proliferates globally, existing methods and solutions for sharing and comprehending information are inadequate.
This is according to Canadian entrepreneurs Karl Swannie and Mike Anderson.
Swannie and Anderson are the cofounders of IntLabs, a technology startup based on Vancouver Island.
Swannie is a serial entrepreneur and angel investor who has seeded startups such as Victoria neighbour MeepMeep, makers of a tiny tracking device for disc golf. Anderson cofounded data intelligence firm Echosec Systems over a decade ago.
The founding pair see a market of customers who are craving structure for diverse data sets so they can scale and leverage the power of existing analytics platforms, with a need to quickly see and understand inter-relationships while delivering mission critical knowledge.
Organizations are working with fragmented, inflexible, and inefficient data governance systems that rely on person-hours to ensure compliance, the founders believe, positing that “AI has the potential to transform this dysfunctional status quo.”
The Fort Street startup’s flagship platform is ORIGIN, an AI-powered offering that offers a slew of features, including full compliance with “any and all data legislation and policies that relate to your business” as well as one-click information redactions.
Amidst rising risks, organizations “need a smarter, more automated way to manage and protect their data—one that doesn’t rely on time-consuming processes or promote collaboration at the cost of security,” according to the B.C. company.
Established in 2022, IntLabs was this month named to Douglas magazine’s “10 to Watch.”
Launched in 2006 by Page One Publishing, Douglas is a business magazine and media brand based on Vancouver Island.
Now in their 16th year, the 10 to Watch Awards annually celebrate regional startups.
Vancouver Island’s cleantech ecosystem has been growing steadily, data shows.
