About Ferret

Ferret is an AI platform architected from the ground up to empower companies and individuals with real-time, unbiased intelligence to identify risks and embrace opportunities. 

Leveraging cutting-edge AI and more than hundreds of thousands of global data sources, Ferret provides information — once only available to the financial industry — to all types of professionals, from angel investors to business leaders, making transparency the new norm. You should know who you’re dealing with, that’s why having due diligence at your fingertips, all in one app, will help you build better relationships.

Co-founded by serial entrepreneur Rob Loughan and leading due diligence expert Al MacDonald, Ferret is headquartered in the Los Angeles area with offices in Santa Monica, California, and Melbourne, Australia.

Our Story

Everyone wants to feel confident in who they put their trust in to make meaningful decisions. Up until this point, many of the resources needed to make these critical choices have been insufficient, unreliable, costly or exclusive (like “the 1%”). As a result, the ability to make informed business decisions isn’t a question of desire or skill, but one of access, resources, and bureaucracy.

The bottom line: we believe in a world where access to powerful relationship intelligence exists unrestricted. Setting a common standard of accountability and transparency – for both business and personal relationships.

Whether you’re dealing with business agreements or social circles, we believe you deserve to know who you’re next to. You deserve the full truth and nothing but the truth.
