Hazy is the synthetic data platform of choice for financial institutions that want to conduct sophisticated data analysis, without compromising privacy or speed to innovation. Hazy is a synthetic data company. We use advanced AI/ML techniques to generate a new type of smart synthetic data that's both private and safe to work with and good enough to use as a drop in replacement for real world data science workloads. Hazy specialises in financial services, helping some of the world's top banks and insurance companies reduce compliance risk and increase data agility and the speed of data innovation by allowing them to work freely on synthetic data. Use cases for Hazy data in financial services include fraud modelling, financial crime, AML, credit risk, operational risk, asset management and customer engagement. In 2018, Hazy won the $1 million Microsoft Innovate AI prize for the best AI startup in Europe. In 2019 Hazy was awarded the Grand Prix at the prestigious Société Générale Banking CyberSecurity Innovation Awards and the CogX Award for Best Innovation In Data Protection And Privacy. Originally a UCL AI spin out, Hazy is now backed by top-tier investors including Notion, Albion and Amadeus, alongside strategic investments from Microsoft and Nationwide.
