Golden was a San Francisco technology company founded in 2017 by Jude Gomila to build a self-constructing knowledge graph of the world’s information. Its platform used machine intelligence to extract data from millions of disparate sources, distinguish entities, and continually reconcile information into an interconnected knowledge base. Golden combined artificial and human intelligence, supported by specialists in artificial intelligence, natural language processing, knowledge graphs, and large language models.

The company raised approximately $59.5 million across seed, Series A, and Series B rounds. Its backers included Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Founders Fund, Gigafund, SV Angel, and DCVC, with a16z leading multiple rounds. In 2024, Golden was acquired by ComplyAdvantage, an AI-driven financial crime intelligence provider. Golden’s data extraction and entity-disambiguation technology now supports ComplyAdvantage’s data ingestion pipeline and risk insights for regulated institutions. Its AI and language-model specialists joined ComplyAdvantage’s data science team, while Gomila became a board observer and special advisor. Golden’s technology now contributes to financial crime intelligence used by enterprises worldwide.
