"Reducing the amount of time needed to run a background check from days to minutes will transform the way compliance teams approach due diligence, ultimately providing greater transparency and assurance on who they are doing business with. Together with Xapien, we are pioneering the future of risk mitigation, harnessing GenAI and other emerging technologies responsibly in order to facilitate smarter, faster decision-making."

"We're delighted to partner with Dow Jones to bring AI-powered due diligence to a broader market," said Chris Green, co-founder and CEO of Xapien.

This innovation enables anytime due diligence, revolutionizing business-compliance dynamics and empowering clients to strategically direct their efforts. Together, we're changing the status quo of slow, labor-intensive due diligence."
