About Praxi Data
Praxi Data is a fast growing early-stage start-up that turns dark data into actionable insights through automated discovery and expert classification at cloud scale.

Praxi Data’s innovative solution significantly reduces the manual portion of the process, leading to quicker, actionable results via automated data discovery and expert classification.

We can provide continuous deep data-driven insights for businesses and organizations in the banking, insurance, and healthcare sectors.
