Based in Harvard Square and New York City, Kensho deploys scalable machine intelligence and analytics systems across the most critical government and commercial institutions in the world to solve some of the hardest analytical problems of our time.

Originally backed by Google Ventures, Goldman Sachs, and In-Q-Tel (the venture capital arm of the CIA), Kensho was founded out of MIT and Harvard in 2013. Kensho’s team members come from veteran positions at Google, Apple, Facebook and from academia.

Kensho was acquired by S&P Global in 2018 and continues to operate independently from its headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, retaining its distinct brand.

We are a diverse and spirited group of engineers and scientists who are accomplished analytical thinkers and passionate problem solvers. Together, our multi-talented team includes PhD physicists, Quantum Computing PhDs (including the creator of the world’s first solid-state two-bit quantum processor with electron spins), and one of the youngest-ever entrants to Harvard College (age 15).

We are proud of our individual accomplishments, as well as the collaborative environment we’ve built, and what we’re capable of as a team.
