Data Explorer for the US Economy
We built FactIQ to help economic analysts find and analyze data from over 7.4 million official US economic time series. Our product interprets users' questions, identifies relevant datasets, analyzes them, and generates interactive charts and tables with full transparency so users can verify sources and methods behind every insight.
We live in Singapore and the company is currently based here. We plan to keep the HQ in Singapore after YC as well.
