Golden operates a knowledge base and research engine focused on areas where Wikipedia’s coverage is thin, emphasizing emerging technology, startups, and the people involved. Its core product uses AI and natural language processing to extract information from news, websites, and public databases, supplemented by a research team and community flagging. The company offers a Query Tool and the ability for customers to request bespoke research on topics. Golden aims to automate as much of the extraction and summarization workflow as possible while retaining human oversight for quality. It has paying customers including private equity firms, hedge funds, VCs, biotechnology companies, corporate innovation offices, and government agencies. Financially, Golden said it signed a $1 million contract with the U.S. Air Force and has now raised $19.5 million in total. Golden builds an open knowledge base augmented by a suite of AI tools and a modern editor that automatically creates content and lowers the barrier for people to contribute. The product combines artificial and human intelligence to compile and maintain structured knowledge. The company sells access to tools that let companies run advanced queries and receive alerts on the data in Golden. Golden intends to use its new funding to improve the product through hires and investments in its engineering and product teams. CEO Jude Gomila leads the company. Financially, Golden closed a $5M seed funding round to support these product and team initiatives.
