DueDil is a due diligence tool that provides business, accounting and director information on companies registered in the UK & Ireland, and 18 other European countries.[1][2]

Services and products

DueDil pulls in data from a wide range of sources and digitises it, allowing users to search for information, find new customers and avoid risk.[3][4]

Company search results provide information including up to 20 years of financial data, mortgages, investments, red flags,[5] litigations, and group structures.[6][7]

Director search results show individual director profiles, including full name, birthdate, nationality, known aliases, timelines of current and previous directorships, and social media profiles.

DueDil features include an alert function that allows users to track and receive updates on companies of interest, detailed company and director search filters, financial metrics, news, group graphs, charts, and integration with social networks.[8] In April 2014, DueDil released the third version of its API to allow developers to integrate the service.

History

DueDil was founded by American entrepreneur, Damian Kimmelman. The company launched at TechCrunch’s ‘GeeknRolla’ conference on 21 March 2011, winning ‘Best Startup’.[10]

The company has been nominated for numerous awards and is recognised as one of the UK’s most promising financial technology companies.[11][12][13][14][15][16] DueDil was named by Wired magazine in 2013 as one of Europe’s hottest startups,[17] while in 2016 Bloomberg named the company as one of its Business Innovators.[18] The UK government’s Cabinet Office transparency team has also cited DueDil as a business providing innovative services using open data.[19]

CEO Damian Kimmelman was named as 'International Entrepreneur of Year' at the inaugural Tech City News Hall of Fame awards in June 2014,[20] and in October 2014 as one of the 1,000 most influential Londoners by the Evening Standard.[21]

Significant campaigns launched by DueDil include research by with the Centre for Entrepreneurs into levels of company formation by immigrants in the UK, showing that migrant entrepreneurs have created one in seven UK companies.[22][23][24][25][26][27][28] DueDil also provided the data behind the first-ever Tech Nation report, which charted the growth of the UK tech sector.[29]

Since 2011, DueDil has raised nearly $30m from respected investors in the US and UK, including Oak Investment Partners, Passion Capital and Notion Capital.[30][31][32]
