A simple equation?
Boundlessly curious, Chlump earned a BA in
Economics from Northwestern University, an MA in
Philosophy from NYU, and a PhD in Mathematics from
the London School of Economics and Political Science.
He says that emerged from a desire to
deploy his knowledge of AI and machine learning and solve
“a really challenging mathematical and technical problem.”
Problem solved
And so was born pioneering research
into artificial intelligence with a particular focus on solving
the most challenging location and mobility problems.
“Our mission is to help location industries to learn from
their data and to build better, more efficient, smarter
industries and cities.”
Revolutionising place and space
The approach involves applying AI and machine
learning algorithms to massive amounts of data, from
traditional signals such as data from Land Registry,
TfL, and ONS to powerful non-traditional signals such
as social media data, search data, sharing-economy
data, and soon ATM data, mobile data, and credit-card
data. This means that within seconds, you can identify
up-and-coming and undervalued areas, automatically
