Our Story
Awakedata was founded out of a tiny table of the Starbucks store in the beautiful city of Vancouver, BC, Canada,
one of the best cities to live in the world, by a group of software engineers and data scientists
who believe the next big thing should come from the intersection of AI and engineering.
It was started by a small dream to invent something to truly change people’s life,
and the small dream becomes big, so, one by one, little by little,
the founder/co-founders left their original post and formed this young but promising start up,
with a big heart to create something revolutionary.
