ScraperWiki operates an online platform that makes data extraction simpler and more collaborative, allowing programmers to share data-collection programs and exchange programming skills with those who need data collected or analyzed. The company is led by CEO Francis Irving and was originally started by Aidan McGuire and Julian Todd. It is headquartered in Liverpool and also has staff in London and New York. ScraperWiki completed a $1M funding round and intends to use the capital to scale up development and roll out its collaborative data platform. In conjunction with the funding, Jane Silber, CEO of Canonical, joined as chair of ScraperWiki’s board. The company’s near-term focus is product development and broader platform rollout funded by the recent raise.
