It maintained regional offices in Hong Kong and Los Angeles and opened a new office in Exeter, Devon. The company was also listed among The Sunday Times Tech Track Top 10 Ones to Watch.[5] By early 2015, the company had added offices in Budapest, Manchester, and New York and was employing around 150 people.[9] In late 2015, Black Swan had around 200 employees and had added several clients, including GlaxoSmithKline, Unilever, and Mars.[9][12] The company was also listed first on the inaugural Sunday Times Sage Start-up Track 15 which identifies the fastest growing start-ups in Britain.[12][13] In March 2016, the company received £3 million in a funding round led by Mitsui. According to the company, the funding was procured to further develop its Nest platform and expand the business into Japan and the United States.[7][6] In July 2016, Black Swan raised an additional £6.2 million from an investor group that included Albion Ventures, The Blackstone Group, and Mitsui. This capital would again be designated for the development of Nest and further international expansion.[3][4] Also in 2016, the company topped The Sunday Times SME Export Track 100.[14]. As of early 2018, Black Swan has around 260 employees, spread over eight offices in four countries, and counts major brands in the food, beverages and personal care sectors as its key clients for trend prediction and product innovation. Products and servicesBlack Swan Data's primary business offering is their proprietary data analytics software platform called the "Nest" (or "NEST").[4] Black Swan collects a variety of data, including weather, news, social media information, and numerous other client-specific data sets.[6] The Nest then uses algorithms to predict and forecast information to help businesses make marketing and supply chain decisions.[1] In total, the Nest analyzes hundreds of thousands of data sets to produce its predictions.[9] In general, the data that the Nest analyzes and the predictions it yields vary greatly depending on the client. For instance, for Disney's film Frozen, Black swan analysts identified information from Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb, data about movies released prior to Frozen, and videos that people were watching on YouTube as predictors for the potential success of the film and any related merchandise (and their requisite supply chains).[1] By contrast, Black Swan looked at government health statistics, Google search trends, social media, and local sales figures to forecast when advertising vitamins might be most advantageous for GlaxoSmithKline.[2] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news | last =Heathman| first
