Xapien is a research and due diligence platform that combines artificial intelligence and natural language processing to emulate the traditionally complex research and report writing process. It goes beyond standard database screening and is significantly faster than manual web searches. Input the name of any individual or organisation and click "Go." Within minutes, Xapien delivers a concise, insightful report. This is what we call dynamic due diligence. Our platform helps protect clients against regulatory and reputational risks. Today, we power the due diligence process of hundreds of organisations, including Magic Circle, Silver Circle, and AmLaw 100 law firms like Pinsent Masons; prestigious universities such as Dartmouth College, University of Cambridge, and King’s College London; household-name charities like WaterAid and SightSavers; and global leaders in risk and compliance like Dow Jones Risk & Compliance. Xapien is backed by YFM Equity Partners, D2 Fund, and a group of angel investors. Our team brings together experts from diverse fields, including third-party risk management, law firms, financial services, fintech, and technology companies such as Google. Alongside AI engineers, computational linguists, machine learning developers, and PhD scientists, we’re also home to Shakespeareans, gymnasts, and musicians. Xapien has been recognised as a Category Leader in KYC data and enterprise KYC solutions by Chartis Research. We’re proud to have received several industry awards, including the Crime Investigation Support and Copilot award, Entity Management—Core Technology award, and Financial Crime Data Management award.
