Origin

In many emerging economies, economic activity remains invisible. Up to 70% of businesses operate informally, taxes are lost, and governments lack the data needed to finance growth, regulate markets, or fight fraud. Without reliable registries, lenders cannot conduct KYC, investors cannot assess risks, and economic development remains stalled.

Origin changes this.

We build AI-powered business registries where no reliable data exists. Combining field collection, satellite imagery, and digital forms, we detect and capture companies, even in hard-to-reach areas. Our technology then cleans, standardizes, and structures the data with ISO codes, geolocation, and probabilistic matching to avoid duplication.

The result is a sovereign digital registry, interoperable with OECD, EU, and World Bank standards, accessible both as an internal government tool and as an external API.
