Our Vision
To make knowledge a commodity, not a privilege
“The reality is that the journey to knowledge isn’t just a concept – it’s a commodity. In my previous roles at organizations including Just Eat, notonthehighstreet and Zego, I saw first hand how different businesses invest time and money by building in house solutions to solve the same problems, with the same data sources and same goal: to bridge data silos so they can understand their data quicker and have a single source of the truth. And it made me think; what if there was a tool that all businesses could use, to simplify, clean and automate the centralization of their data? This would allow businesses to make the journey to knowledge quicker, and differentiate from their competitors. That’s how Kleene was born.” – Drew Thomas, Kleene CEO & Co-Founder
