China business intelligence platform for national security and compliance teams
WireScreen operates a data-intensive OSINT platform on Chinese corporate structures, backed by Sequoia and Harpoon. The tech stack—PySpark, Databricks, Snowflake, FastAPI—reflects a data engineering-first architecture optimized for petabyte-scale entity resolution and relationship mapping. Active projects show a clear pivot: government sales expansion (national security territory, sales program refinement) now rivals core product work (pipeline quality, collection maintenance), and hiring skews senior across all functions, suggesting they're building go-to-market muscle for a high-touch, regulated customer base.
WireScreen builds open-source intelligence (OSINT) data on corporate ownership, investment, and relationships across China's economy. The customer base spans U.S. public-sector agencies focused on national security and enforcement, law firms, think tanks, and private compliance teams. The platform indexes millions of corporate profiles, investor networks, and executive relationships on data customers describe as otherwise opaque. Founded in 2019 with leadership from investigative journalism, due diligence, and law backgrounds, the company operates offices in New York and Washington, DC. Distribution is government-led with emerging commercial channels.
WireScreen runs Python, PySpark, Apache Spark, and Databricks for data processing; Snowflake for analytics; FastAPI and Django for backend services; and Terraform for infrastructure. Figma is used for design.
WireScreen is based in New York City, NY, with an additional office in Washington, DC. The company was founded in 2019 and is privately held with 11–50 employees.
