About us

High-quality data access and provisioning shouldn't be daunting and time-consuming. Synthesized automates this process — we solve the problem of replacing sensitive production data from non-production environments with right-sized, production-like data. Since 2018 we have pioneered the generation of production-like data for machine learning and application development across all structured data formats within one platform.

Our products are used by some of the world's leading organizations, such as Deutsche Bank, UBS, the European Commission, and others. We continue to be a part of various roundtables on AI regulations and ethics in the UK and Europe. Most recently, Synthesized contributed to the AI Roundtable with the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation, and Technology who hosted senior AI leaders at Downing Street.

We’re an ambitious VC-backed startup, with leading global investors including IQ Capital, Seedcamp, and Deutsche Bank. We have ambitious growth plans for 2024, and would love you to join us on the journey.
