About Psithur
Hi đź‘‹
Psithur is a software and data company based in Australia.
Psithur was founded in late 2020 by Felix Barbalet and Jason Cromarty, offering an innovative knowledge-graph product "Psithur Connect" as a CRM addon for Not-for-profit Fund-raising and University Advancement customers. Psithur Connect is no longer offered for sale.
Today, Psithur offers a number of products (AwardedTenders and AwardedGrants, with others in development) that help civic innovators working with Government through improved market participation, collaboration and engagement.
These products leverage Open Government Data, making it more accessible and useful for those companies who work most closely with Government, helping them to understand Government through actual purchasing decisions, find partners and collaborators, and focus their efforts to serve Government better.
These products are built on our Data Studio platform, which delivers a new paradigm for the performance and economics of interactive data platforms.
