Sift Science is an SaaS startup based in San Francisco, CA. We help our customers fight fraud using large-scale, real time machine learning (aka predictive analytics).
Fraud is most commonly associated with chargebacks and other transactional fraud, but can also include spam accounts and fake postings (ex: classifieds, marketplaces etc)
Using large-scale machine learning is unique and useful because Sift Science can accommodate custom data fields and events specific to each user’s needs. Pretty much anything you think might be relevant to detecting fraud, you can send it our way.
Real time is essential to Sift Science’s accuracy because we calculate scores immediately and automatically, accepting feedback in real time (send us an example of a chargeback, and our model will update in seconds)
