"The startup’s software gathers data from a wide range of sources, from Twitter posts and news stories to website images and text messages, sorts the data, learns to differentiate between them, and allows users to see connections that would take much longer to establish using more standard computing methods.

The software, which learns as it goes, enables users to group together disparate information on a certain topic or event and find related articles or information sources, and it helps advertisers target online ads better."
