At Bitfount our goal is to make the world’s intractable data interactable. Society’s data superpowers are gathering dust due to a problem that is easy to describe but hard to solve: The data required to solve the world's most pressing problems isn't the kind that's easily shared.
The limitations of current data infrastructure have created painful, slow, expensive and often ineffective workarounds for what should be seamless collaborations between trusted partners. But it doesn't have to be this way. So we're building a missing piece of global infrastructure: a secure network to enable organisations to send algorithms to data. This means they can share the benefits of their data with each other, without having to go through the painful and risky process of moving it around, without compromising its privacy, and without even needing to expose any raw data.
Right now, we’re heads-down on applying our platform to the problem of clinical trial recruitment in the Healthcare space. We’re enabling privacy-preserving collaboration between healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies, which will remove a major friction point in the process, and help ensure critical medicines make it through trials and into the hands of those who need them much sooner.
We believe that great software is built by great people working in great teams, and we’re working hard to make Bitfount a home for both. We’re committed to building an organisation that people are proud to be part of, where everyone can learn and grow, where everyone is supported, and where everyone can do the best, most meaningful work of their careers in a cross-disciplinary environment. Everyone’s viewpoint is valued and we work hard to foster a culture of open discussion. We’re backed by top UK and international investors and a stellar advisory team.
