Big ideas, bigger ambitions – and an even stronger team! 🌟 This month, our GTM team gathered in Chicago for an energising meetup. It was more than just a catch-up: it was a space to reflect on the year so far, align on what’s ahead, and push ourselves to think even bigger about the future of OpenCorporates. Bringing together our Sales, PLG and Legal teams, the sessions were filled with brainstorming, collaboration, and a shared determination to finish the year strong and set the foundation for what’s next. Moments like these remind us that our impact doesn’t just come from strategy or execution—it comes from the people behind it, working together to drive growth and shape the future of our company.
We are excited to announce that OpenCorporates has been shortlisted for the Best Flexible Working Policy category in the 2022 UK Company Culture Awards. As a scaling tech company with a bold mission & ambition, we expect a lot from our team. But we know that there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to flexible working – because everyone is different. That’s why our ‘How We Work’ guidelines are focused on impact and not input, and make working from home the norm.
Corporate supply chains are under greater scrutiny than ever. In this blog post, we will outline why data, especially legal entity data, is critical to giving companies the intelligence they need to mitigate risk & create actionable insights in their supply chains.
Millions of legal entities form the building blocks that make up the business world. This means you can’t work with third parties confidently unless you know who you’re dealing with at the legal entity level. That’s why we're bringing about transparent data on legal entities: to shine a light on the building blocks that make up the global business world and to promote a more trusted environment for everybody.
The Pandora Papers came & went. Now what? Listen to our latest podcast where Rebecca Lee (Chief Impact Officer) & Laetitia Hoffmann, Market Specialist, Due Diligence at Dow Jones Risk & Compliance, speak to Shanti Salas (VP Sales) about why the investigation can and should act as a wake up call – driving forward the kind of meaningful change in corporate transparency that has progressed through the legislative agenda in fits and starts as of late.
Tresata's AI platform integrates our global & transparent company data to expose bad actors & actualize potential nth degree party risk.
How does joining the dots in company data help anti-financial crime efforts? Rebecca Lee (Chief Impact Officer) explained this, and covered some key initiatives that can help open up access to even more official company data around the world, in her recent keynote at the Dark Money Conference.
Analysis by The Times using OpenCorporates data 'shows that 7,000 companies registered to only five addresses in London made claims to the [UK] furlough scheme between last December and June' claiming 'up to £473 million between them'. 'About 340 of the firms were created on or after March 1 last year, when the furlough scheme came into operation'.
The Pandora Papers are (yet another) reminder why open access to company data is critical to promoting corporate transparency. All our data is made openly available as part of our public benefit mission so everybody can access & easily search it – which is why we were proud to see that the ICIJ used it in the course of their investigation. In this blog post, we reiterate why the world needs open company data & outline why we hope the global response to the Pandora Papers will provide an opportunity to renew meaningful efforts which will change the company data landscape for the better.
We are delighted to announce that our open database has surpassed 200 million companies! Our mission to provide transparent company data to all has never been more pertinent... #PandoraPapers #transparency #companydata #opendata #socialjustice
