Endor, a predictive analytics startup originating at MIT Media Lab and co-founded by former Media Lab post-doc Dr. Yaniv Altshuler, has been named Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum. This prestigious accolade is given annually to a selection of the world’s most innovative companies, which are poised to have a significant impact on business and society.

Endor extended the science of Social Physics, which originated at MIT through research by Prof. Alex “Sandy” Pentland, into a commercially available predictive platform that helps businesses overcome major barriers in leveraging predictive analytics. Endor’s platform enables answering any predictive question in minutes instead of months, potentially making any organization predictive and forward looking.
