I'd like to announce that @Golden has been acquired by @ComplyAdvantage. This takes us on a new mission of using the knowledge graph to fight financial crime. Comply Advantage is an AML (anti-money laundering) company which performs KYC (know your customer), KYB (know your business) and general transaction monitoring. They catch the bad guys in the systems you see all around you in banking, fintech and pretty much anytime money moves around. Golden and Comply Advantage will merge their knowledge graphs and data extraction systems, putting them to use to catch bad actors, whether these be companies, legal structures or people. The merged entity of Golden and ComplyAdvantage has become a unicorn upon the transaction, and I’ll be joining the board to advise and further this mission. It has been a monumental journey for the team and I since we launched back in 2019. I'd love to thank the team members, past and present, for everything that has been built and created over the years. I'd also like to thank our investors for supporting us all the way. Comply is run by some fantastic people including their founder @delingpole and CEO @VatsaNarasimha, and is backed by great investors including @balderton @IndexVentures @GoldmanSachs If you are in need of KYC/KYB/AML or transaction monitoring, ping us! Looking to the future - I'm excited to be joining the board, and will continue to ramp up the investing I've been doing, while learning new technical fields.
