01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Grakn Labs, a London software company, commercialized the Grakn knowledge-graph database, research that began at the University of Cambridge Computer Lab. Grakn combined a graph data model with a logic-based query language (Graql) so engineers could model complex, highly connected domains. The company renamed itself Vaticle in 2021 and its product TypeDB; the UK entity is now named TypeDB Ltd and remains active.
