Hesiod

Hesiod is a transcription agency that works for financial institutions. Its service gathers all of a client's transcripts in one place. Over time these build into a database of what the organisation has learned, which can help it reach conclusions faster during due diligence. Hesiod says it manages clients' insights so they gain an edge over competitors.

What Hesiod offers

• Transcription — written records for financial institutions.
• Transcript collection — all of a client's transcripts brought together.
• Knowledge database — an accumulated history of the company's insights that supports due diligence.

Who it works with

Financial institutions that want their calls, meetings and other recorded material turned into text and kept together, so the knowledge a firm gathers is not lost between projects and can be searched again when a new deal is examined.
