In-Q-Tel invests in technology that will keep the CIA ahead of the pack, and they are out to accelerate Brainspace, according to D Magazine. The figures of In-Q-Tel’s investment in Brainspace could not be released because of a nondisclosure agreement.

It specializes in unstructured data analysis and prioritize “creating machine learning that accelerates human learning,” according to a Brainspace news release.

“We’re going to continue to advance our core technology in machine learning,” Copps told D Magazine. “Our bread and butter is visualizations, connecting people to machine learning.”
