What Infogami does

What is Infogami? The art of transforming data into meaningful information. Infogami Business Intelligence (BI) solutions turn raw data into information that enables businesses to gain insights, improve decision making, reduce costs and support strategic objectives. Subject matter expertise is central to the Infogami ethos. The ability to communicate effectively and understand requirements, separates Infogami from other BI solutions. Bridging the gap between information and collaboration, Infogami solutions enhance collaborative decision making and interaction. This improves the communication and information sharing process within an organisation.

Business intelligence for collaborative decision making

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building Infogami Business Intelligence, which takes raw business data and turns it into clear, actionable information. Our product is designed to help decision makers in companies understand their data better by blending data analysis with collaborative tools that improve communication within teams.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in London, England, and the company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose London because both founders live here and the initial users are local businesses that benefit from our proximity for feedback and support.
