Why we started the company
He realized that the fundamental opportunity for better compliance and investigations was connecting to and bringing together disparate data points that helped customers really understand the risks of counterparties.
At the time, the problem for his clients was that the companies they were selling through were often shell companies, simply used as a passthrough for fraud and bribes. Procurement officers and senior management would channel purchases through the companies to take a personal cut of company or government transactions.
David’s customers needed to understand the risk of this corrupt activity better to protect themselves. Their initial thought was to turn to databases like World-Check, but those databases didn’t at all address the risks David’s customers faced in reality. Customers were incurring huge compliance risk but traditional data sources had a 0% effectiveness rate.
David realized that in fact the data to make good decisions did exist, it was just very difficult for non-specialists to find, and time-consuming even for skilled investigators to gather. In these cases, the most salient data available was actually around beneficial ownership – which helped tell whether or not a specific company was actually adding value in the transaction – and real estate (having a warehouse validated whether there was a real physical role to the company’s involvement or if they were just a conduit for cash).
The rationale behind Arachnys’ foundation was to create a platform for synthesizing meaningful data for risk decisioning processes out of a world of fragmented, sometimes inaccessible data sets.
