This is great news for Neo4j, and for the thousands of organisations that are just starting to realise that they have an unmet need that graph technology can solve. What we are seeing here is the 'commodification' of graph, a trend that happens in technology in general. Companies that launched ten years ago, on a massive investment with their own proprietary graph technology - I'm talking the likes of Twitter, Facebook and so on - today the same features could be implemented with a fraction of the investment. They'll do this by leveraging Neo4j. This funding we'll broaden the reach of graph technology, while reducing the overall cost for individual organisations to adopt. Social networks, recommendation engines, fraud detection systems are all now easily within reach. Check out our own free and open-source recommendation engine, which was built on top of Neo4j, for example: https://github.com/graphaware/neo4j-reco https://github.com/graphaware/neo4j-reco. We live in exciting times. While the commodification of what we call 'graph 1.0' is in progress, what Tesla's head of A.I. Andrej Karpathy brands "Software 2.0", that is the intersection of machine learning and software development is rapidly picking up pace. We're only at the beginning of the hype cycle on this. And guess what? IT is an established fact, is that graph is playing a central role in this transformation process. We are proud to say that our organisation is at the forefront of using graph technology to derive insight and meaning from unstructured data - we call this GraphAware Hume. We're really excited about this! As you can see we're are pretty passionate about graph technology, and Neo4j in particular, and in our opinion we're at the beginning of what is going to be a very transformative adoption. If you're thinking about exploring how graph might fit into _your_ organisation, of course feel free to reach out.
