Sayari

Sayari is a corporate intelligence and risk data company whose platform helps investigators, compliance teams and governments map corporate ownership structures, trace trade relationships and uncover hidden exposure across global supply chains. Its systems are built around a large knowledge graph linking companies, people and trade activity across jurisdictions, with tools for entity resolution, ownership traversal and screening at high volume.

According to its careers page, Sayari’s core technical challenge is entity resolution at scale across heterogeneous, adversarial data, resolving corporate names in Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic and Persian to the same entity and connecting ownership chains through jurisdictions such as the BVI, Cayman and the UAE in a single traversal. The company describes a knowledge graph covering 500M+ companies in 250+ jurisdictions and 1.5B+ entities.

The product serves investigative and compliance users. Sayari describes investigative tools for intelligence analysts, screening at thousands of entities per second, and interfaces whose users include federal agents and Fortune 50 chief compliance officers. It also describes purpose-built agentic AI for risk intelligence that produces verifiable, source-cited reasoning rather than black-box confidence scores, with output intended to stand up in enforcement proceedings.

Sayari states that its work directly impacts national security and global commerce integrity, with customers in enforcement, financial services and government. Its careers material references enforcement teams building cases, compliance officers protecting institutions and analysts tracing networks, and lists government customer success and federal deployment roles.

The company reports roughly $100M ARR and remains founder-led. It cites recognition including the Inc. 5000 for a fourth consecutive year, Inc. Best Workplaces 2025, Deloitte Technology Fast 500 2025, and Gartner 2026 recognition in AI/analytics for IT vendor risk mitigation.

Sayari describes itself as operating with the scale of a growth-stage company and the speed of a startup, and says it runs every internal function on AI-native operating systems it built itself, called xOS, which it frames as the same judgment infrastructure it sells to clients. It has published a set of “Impact Behaviors” covering talent standards, evidence-based credibility, a multiplier mindset, decisive execution, focus, accountability and adaptability.

The workforce is described as 200+ people across 10+ countries and five continents, with 24-hour time zone coverage. Its global headquarters is in Washington, D.C., with an international headquarters in London, and teams in Canada, Israel, Dubai, Singapore, Japan and Australia. The company says regional compensation, locally compliant benefits and flexible working arrangements are standard, and that its teams work across English, Hebrew, Arabic, Japanese, Mandarin, French, Russian, Persian, Portuguese, Korean and Malay.

Sayari’s published careers narrative frames the company as having “founded twice,” rebuilding its own operations around AI-native infrastructure before selling that capability to clients, with the stated conviction that a company selling judgment infrastructure must be its first customer.
