Our origin story: from Laplace’s devil to
Laplace’s data engine
In 1814, Pierre Simon Laplace imagined an intellect—later dubbed Laplace’s Devil—that, knowing the precise position and momentum of every atom, could predict the future with perfect accuracy. While true determinism remains a thought experiment, the idea resonates deeply with modern finance: better information leads to better decisions.
We founded Laplace on that same conviction. By collecting, cleansing, and structuring the world’s financial signals in real time, we give today’s innovators the closest thing to Laplace’s omniscience—minus the metaphysics.
