Insight Capital is a data science and machine learning solutions company focussed on financial services.
Using our unique combination of quantitative research, machine learning and technology infrastructure, we deliver bespoke analytical tools.
The type of clients we work with:
- Have a lot of data and want to unlock its value
- Are trapped in Excel and locked to the desktop
- Have disparate and siloed sources of data
- Want an analytical edge, speed and operational efficiency
- Have a successful business, but outdated technology
We have a simple philosophy:
- Turn data into an accessible and valuable resource
- Make machine learning easy to use
- Combine data science with the rigour of "old school" programming
- Version all code and all data, iteratively test and validate
- Show all our workings and reject "black boxes"
- Share the knowledge
We have developed a dependable and repeatable process:
We believe in delivering "joined up data science": a close collaboration between business, data scientists, data engineering, DevOps and development teams.
Technology
Our technology stack:
We design bespoke client solutions that leverage a modern technology stack and combine best-in-class open source frameworks with our proprietary toolkits.
CEO's often ask us whether they should build or buy?
In an age of open source technology, the tools, support and expertise exist to build exactly what you want.
By remaining at the cutting edge, we make it easier for you to hire engineering talent who are already familiar with these technologies. We believe you can’t buy a competitive advantage off the shelf.
