Graphika’s mission is to map the world’s social media networks, so that online spaces can thrive authentically. We create large-scale, in-depth maps of social media landscapes and conversations to help businesses discover how communities form online and how influence and information flows within large scale networks. Founded on the pioneering work of social and network science scholars, Graphika uses deep learning to identify the people, connections, messages, and conversations online that matter for customers from Facebook and Twitter, to T-Systems and ABinBev. Our interdisciplinary team uses our unique, patented set of technologies and tools to create and apply new, rigorous analytical methods that enable customers to engage in online communities meaningfully to grasp opportunities or mitigate risk online. Our work has informed the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on election interference.
