About us

Company background

Cambridge Intelligence was founded in 2011 by Executive Chairman Joe Parry. We’ve grown consistently and quickly since then, but we’re still a UK-based, privately-owned Cambridge startup success story registered in England and Wales (company number: 07625370).

Joe continues to majority own the business, which is run by CEO Bryan Amesbury with support from an experienced management team and board of directors. Our technical expertise runs right through the organization, from the CEO to the large and skilled software development team.

In 2014, we incorporated in the US to capitalize on the huge and rapidly-growing market opportunity in North America. Based in Lowell, MA, Cambridge Intelligence Inc looks after around half of our customers.

Our ethical licensing policy

Our flexible developer toolkits help make the world a safer place – from detecting fraud and stopping criminals to protecting systems from cyber attack.

Sometimes, however, people ask to integrate our toolkits into projects that could be misused. Our ethical licensing policy ensures our customers’ activities align with our commitment to working in a fair and ethical way.

In addition to conforming with all relevant laws, sanctions and export controls, we look carefully at projects where our products could be used for undesirable activities.

We’re especially concerned with protecting human rights, and do not license our toolkits to businesses or governments with a poor human rights record.

Other undesirable activities include, but are not limited to:

  • Projects in, or adjacent to, the manufacture of physical weapons
  • Projects involving intelligence or targeting systems designed to aid kinetic attacks
  • Projects causing direct damage to the environment
  • Projects at organizations that manufacture tobacco or illegal drug products

We understand that some of our government customers work in classified environments where project details cannot be shared with us. We’re happy to support these projects where customers are based in democratic countries with a history of respecting human rights.

If we have any concerns about your use case, we’ll inform you early and will work as quickly and transparently as possible to resolve any ethical issues.
