Terrain is a Talent + Location Intelligence Platform creating applied analytics for Investors, Advisors, and Enterprises. Our software platform unifies disparate, siloed data and uses machine learning & data science to deliver proprietary insights on investment, site selection and workforce planning decisions.
Based on our experience as entrepreneurs and investors, we founded Terrain in 2017 on the core belief that big data would significantly impact industries that had been slow to embrace technology - Real Estate and Recruiting. Systems and Technology, combined with Human Intelligence, would create more transparency faster and significantly outperform outdated structures that were reliant solely upon limited personal networks and social proof. After a few years in R&D mode, incubating early concepts with strategic partners and investors, we have created purpose-built products for real estate investors and enterprise business leaders that address uncertainty around market volatility and create actionable insights on how to build successful investment and workforce strategies.
