Innovation Analytics Platform

Software for teams and individuals who operate at the intersection of R&D and business. Mergeflow builds and operates innovation intelligence solutions that combine self-learning technologies with advanced computing power to provide unique insights.

Innovation Intelligence for the Digital Age - Machine-Augmented Intelligence

Global technology leaders in and across diverse industries use Mergeflow to discover products, markets, research, patents, start-ups, and experts associated with emerging, innovative technologies.

The combination of human curiosity and creativity with the scalability of self-learning technologies is much more powerful than either human or computer alone. This is why at Mergeflow we build software to augment, not replace, human work. We call this Machine-Augmented Intelligence.

Mergeflow automates data collection and preparation, so that you can focus on data interpretation.

• Continuous Data Capture Across Sources
  • Mergeflow uses custom-built web crawlers, APIs, and other technologies to continuously collect and aggregate tech and innovation data.

• Identify People And Organizations
  • Mergeflow extracts names of people, organizations, objects and events from document contents. Then Mergeflow creates interactive visualizations that show how actors relate to each other.

• Explore Financial Data
  • From the contents of world wide news, Mergeflow extracts venture funding events, market estimates, and research funding data.

The Intelligence Gap

Speed, volume, and diversity of available data grow exponentially while the number of analysts available for analyzing these data only grows linearly, if at all. This results in an intelligence gap.

The intelligence gap clearly shows runaway dynamics. Trying to find, hire, or educate more analysts is not going to help.

From diverse sources, Mergeflow 24/7 collects tech and innovation contents. These contents are then being fed through our proprietary natural language and machine learning algorithms.

Closing the Gap

In order to close the ever-widening intelligence gap, we need a new, machine-augmented, approach to innovation intelligence. Some requirements for this new approach:

• Agile and Continuous
  • We need 24/7 automated data collection, self-learning technologies, and interactive visualizations. This lets us focus on data interpretation, rather than data collection and preparation.

• 360° View
  • We need to be able to explore and cross-correlate signals from R&D to business to finance, across industries and technologies.

• Transparent and Unbiased
  • In order to support fact-based decision making, we need full access to all underlying data. No finder's fees or other intermediary business models.
