Eigen is an intelligent document processing (IDP) company that enables its clients to quickly and precisely extract answers from their documents, so they can better manage risk, scale operations, automate processes and navigate dynamic regulatory environments.

Eigen’s customizable, no-code AI-powered platform uses machine learning to automate the extraction of answers from documents and can be applied to a wide variety of use cases. It understands context and delivers better accuracy on far fewer training documents, while protecting the security of clients’ data.

Eigen's clients include well-known names in finance, insurance, law and professional services, including Goldman Sachs, ING, Swiss Re, BlackRock, Aviva and Allen & Overy. Eigen is backed by Goldman Sachs, Temasek, Lakestar, Dawn Capital, ING Ventures, Anthemis and the Sony Innovation Fund by IGV.

Eigen’s founder Lewis Liu has pushed the boundaries of AI by using his understanding of the physics of lasers. It is exactly the convergence of such diverse fields as physics and data science that can yield the potential to take a leap forward in applications rather than simply incremental progress.

His business acumen has helped him to focus on high value applications in the financial and legal domains. The key advantage of the Eigen approach is to be able to train Natural Language Processing techniques on very small data sets, which enables NLP to be used in high value, low volume niche applications.

In September Eigen Technologies was named in CB insights Fintech 250 list of fastest-growing fintech start-ups. Later, in November 2020 the FT named Lewis LIu as one of the six top change-makers of 2020, and Eigen Technologies itself won the FT Intelligent Business Award for financial Services for its work with ING on the LIBOR transition. We are only seeing the tip of what this innovation iceberg could enable.
