Introducing Mycorr

About 10 years ago, in the mid-2000s, the phrase “data is the new oil” was coined. It can be interpreted in two ways - Firstly, just like oil, data needs to be refined into products before it becomes useful. And secondly, companies that own data will become the new most valuable companies, a title that mostly oil and gas companies held for decades.

Despite the fast pace of technological improvements, with trillions invested into more and more computational power, the worst, yet most effective mode of communication in companies persists - sending CSV files in emails, storing critical data in spreadsheets, etc.

This tragic contrast is almost comical. If knowledge was structured and contextualized as data, perhaps LLMs wouldn’t be needed to this extent. The technology for traversing graphs and connecting entities exists - the bottleneck, as so often, is the availability of structured data. Instead, text produces more text, slowly diluting its power through statistical processes.

Mycorr, coming from mycorrhizal networks, the network of fibers that let a forest exchange nutrients, aims to span a graph of knowledge by giving the enduser capabilities, normally reserved for IT departments. We hand the power to where the knowledge within a company sits - and our goal is to simplify its transformation into data.

We ask - how would an enduser enter, edit, share, update and access data, asynchronously, with no friction, collaboratively with others. How can a tool, in the background, structure this knowledge into strongly typed pieces of data?

Just like the map of knowledge that each human keeps in their brain and continuously extends, Mycorr structures and links data, across pieces of information and across people.
