Topograph was created in September 2024 by three founders with experience in technology, fast-growing organizations, and regulated sectors (banking, tax, legal).
We have secured a Seed funding round with top-notch investors from the UK and France (to be announced) and have hired our first two employees, both great software engineers. We are based in Paris; our product and our clients are international.
We want to do great work at high standards. This includes ambitiously addressing challenging topics, being respectful, and having a great time together.

We’re building the technical infrastructure to consolidate and enrich fragmented company data from hundreds of public sources worldwide into instantly accessible intelligence :
On our roadmap: scale the geographical coverage beyond the current 30 countries, and develop “context & signals” features, such as alerting and enrichment, to become the best source for company identification.

Almost all countries in the world are combating financial crime for the threat it poses to society. Widespread anti-money laundering regulations (AML) are implemented worldwide, particularly concerning banks and other financial institutions. One pillar of AML is knowing precisely who you are doing business with. This is called KYC, Know Your Customer, or KYB when your customer is a business.
