A Company with Purpose

We offer machine learning and artificial intelligence services to the general insurance and financial markets.

We help businesses like yours, capture data and turn it into a valuable business asset. From early stage machine learning education to code-face programming, the team at MLP can assist you wherever you may need it.

With offices located in Amsterdam, our 10-strong team, all of whom hold Doctorates, Masters or Degrees in Data Science, is led by David Langerveld our Director of Data Science, and overseen by our Chief Information and Technology Officer, Breanndán Ó Nualláin. The team works on the algorithms that power our products. All our products are built to purpose and perform better than ‘off the shelf’ solutions. In an industry where 1% is a lot of capital, that is crucial.

Founded in 2018, we are now part of the Open GI Group. Whilst remaining independent and offering solutions to all platforms, MLP benefits from vast stores of anonymised historical data.

Our offices are located within the Startup Village (pictured above) in the Amsterdam Science Park. The village is made from refurbished shipping containers, reconstructed and welded together with garden laid on the roofs for insulation and seating during the summer.
