Finding answers through graph visualization.

SAS founded in 2013 in Paris | http://linkurio.us | @linkurious

Introduction.

● Linkurious is a graph visualization startup.

● We help companies understand graph data.

● Linkurious Enterprise, an enterprise-ready graph visualization application (out-of-the-box).

● Linkurious.js, a JS library to build custom graph visualization applications.

● 200+ customers (NASA, French Ministry of Finances, Cisco).

Graph dbs unlock connected data.

● The graph schema is a natural fit for highly connected, evolving datasets.

● Fast traversal performances.

● Languages dedicated to graph queries (Cypher).

● Cybersecurity, medical research, fraud, anti-terrorism, network management, etc.

But current tools are not adapted.

● Traditional BI and data visualizations solutions are not compatible with graph databases.

● Representing data as pie charts and histograms doesn’t provide insights into connections.

● There are graph tools designed for developers/data scientists but no tools for business users.

We make graphs easy to understand.

● Easy to use interfaces designed for non technical users.

● Ability to uncover hidden relationships, explore connections, extract insights.

● Compatible with graph dbs like Neo4j.
