The Story Behind our Name

We chose the name FilterLabs to reflect our technology and innovative spirit
FilterLabsLogo(RGB) - Tradmark
Gaining a true understanding of varied communities worldwide hinges on the ability to effectively filter vast amounts of data to uncover locally relevant insights. This is the core philosophy behind FilterLabs.

The word “Filter” in our name embodies our approach to leveraging AI to unearth key conversational and behavioral data at a hyperlocal level, while precisely filtering that data to extract only the most relevant and impactful insights.

At FilterLabs, our technology doesn’t simply collect data; it carefully curates it to deliver a focused, nuanced understanding of how local communities around the world feel about key events, situations and messages, and how their behaviors are changing as a result. It's this precise filtering of granular, hyperlocal data that allows us to provide clients with what they need for unique, contextualized local intelligence.

The “Labs” part of our name represents our startup mindset of continuously experimenting, iterating and driving toward the next groundbreaking innovation in hyperlocal data. Similar to how startup labs function as an innovation hub, FilterLabs serves as an incubator for challenging traditional assumptions about data analysis and innovating new ways to deliver the industry’s most comprehensive hyperlocal data from the world’s hardest-to-access locations. 

Our entrepreneurial spirit, combined with our advanced filtering technology, allows us to redefine what’s possible in terms of truly understanding what’s happening in local communities around the world. 

That’s what drives us at FilterLabs, and enables us to consistently deliver hyperlocal insights that give our clients a competitive advantage.

Our High Regard for Data (and Datum)

At FilterLabs, we live and breathe data. It's in our DNA to treat it with the utmost respect and precision. We may be pioneers in leveraging data fusion technologies, but we're also sticklers for linguistic accuracy when it comes to the lifeblood of our work.

Is data plural or singular?

For us, the answer is both. In academic and technical circles, the singular form remains sacrosanct: datum.

But we also recognize that language evolves, and in certain contexts, data has become an accepted mass noun, much like "information."

Our approach strikes a balance. When referring to data as an aggregate concept, we use a singular verb: data is. We use data as a plural term (data are) when discussing multiple data bits, pieces or points.

It's a nuanced stance, but one that reflects our unwavering commitment to handling data with the utmost care and precision.
