What our previous partners are saying?

The summer was a win. It showed the potential power of data projects to the city…creating a market for this type of analysis within Cincinnati city government. The fellowship program gave us a cheap way of getting a really good understanding of how to manage these projects so that we can be successful as we scale up.
Chad Kenney, City of Cincinnati
They exceeded our expectations in terms of what they were able to deliver and even provided some things that, quite frankly, were not contemplated in the beginning of the process.
Dan Harris, Illinois Department of Human Services
We used to use data to justify funding decisions. Now we can use data to improve what we do.
Bill Thorland, Nurse Family Partnership
It’s Data Science for Social Good. It does not get any better for non-profits like us!
Parul Thukral, Feeding America
