Ferret works by scanning hundreds of thousands of global data sources, such as news archives, white collar crime records, corporate ownership records, and legal records, and using cutting-edge AI to analyze and curate relevant information for each user's contacts. Ferret then delivers this information in real-time through a user-friendly app that alerts users of any risks or opportunities related to their contacts. Users can also search for any person or company using Ferret's powerful search engine and get a comprehensive profile of their relationship intelligence.
Ferret was co-founded by Rob Loughan, a serial entrepreneur with experience in cloud computing and cybersecurity, and Al MacDonald, a leading due diligence expert with a background in law enforcement and intelligence. The company is based in Los Angeles, California, and Melbourne, Australia, and has been featured in various media outlets such as Forbes, TechCrunch, and Business Insider. Ferret is currently in beta testing for iOS users and plans to launch its app to the public soon.
Ferret is more than just a search engine; it is a relationship intelligence platform that helps users make better decisions and build trust with their personal and professional networks. By providing transparency, inclusivity, and automation, Ferret aims to make due diligence easy, accessible, and affordable for everyone.
