Enigma is a Big Data startup that helps businesses to use Public Data. They are creating a large collection of public data that is produced by universities, companies, governments and organizations. The data sets are made available to subscribers who can use it to create new insights when combining it with their own data.
So far they have stored billions of public records about healthcare, energy, transportation and healthcare. Companies can access the data through their web-based user interface, which also offers a few data analytics tools, or via their API. Users can access the data via different plans, including a free, but limited, plan.
Enigma allows users to enter a query and receive multiple references back linked to that query, which subsequently can be exported if required. Enigma uses a proprietary data storage infrastructure in order to centralize all the data they have and link it to other, siloed, databases on the web.
It was founded in beginning of 2013 to provide access to public data for new insights. They have received several awards including winning the TechCrunch Disrupt NY Startup Battlefield in 2013. They have received over $ 5 million in funding and they are constantly updating and evolving their datasets.
Public data is extremely important for organisations that want to derive extra insights from their own data. Having such a large source of public data sets combined can be very powerful. We therefore give Enigma a 7 bits rating.
