Founding
Viscovery was founded by Gerhard Kranner in 1994 under the name Eudaptics as a spin-off of a software research center in Vienna. After first years of technology development, the company successfully released one of the first commercial software packages world-wide for self-organizing map applications.
Funded with venture capital, the company developed the comprehensive Viscovery® suite for explorative data mining and predictive analytics with a focus on visual cluster analysis. The funding period ended with the successful market introduction of the Viscovery product range in 2002.
