Opportunity, earned by evidence.
Kopernicus began with a question: can we teach machines the moves to win in business? And a belief: a level playing field enriches everyone.
We lived the problem first.
We're serial founders who have built, bought and sold multiple companies. Each time, we needed to really understand a company: its market, its competitors, its differentiators and its resilience. Before Kopernicus, Mike Kyriacou evaluated hundreds of businesses in his search for one to acquire, and the work that mattered most was slow, manual and hard to defend.
We saw the same need everywhere: to analyze companies and their competitive landscape rapidly and diligently, on credible data we could trust.
Mike Kyriacou's research into positive deviance and anomaly detection, later taught as an Industry Fellow at UC Berkeley, showed how to find the companies that sustain exceptional performance at scale. Kopernicus turns that method into software any procurement team can run itself.
