- What if, out of any group of people, Conga could identify the people most likely to be a fit for me?To do this, we’d need
- To do this, we would needSCIENCE that PREDICTs FIT between PEOPLE.And we’d need a sizable market for this science.
- Turns out, the markets for people recommendation technology are really big.[CLICK]The Conferences and Events market. Hospitality and TravelRecruitingEnterprise Social BusinessAre four of the biggest.
- So we put our heads together [CLICK] Between us we have degrees and experience in mechanical, electrical, and nuclear engineering; [CLICK]Information systems and software engineering; [CLICK]And most importantly, cognitive and theoretical neuroscience with a touch of psychology. Together we designed, engineered, and implemented ELF.
- Our ELF doesn’t look anything like this one of course. But ELF stands for [CLICK] Entropic, Logistic, Factorial prediction system and that’s what is at the core of our platform.
- Conga is a cloud platform.It’s designed from the ground up to use openly available structured and unstructured data from existing social networks as well as from 3rd party data sources.[CLICK]Developers can then make use of our algorithms and prediction system through our web API.Today we are using data from

- Drilling down on the top recommendation, we see that 494 factors are influencing this score of 42 of a possible 100. It turns out I actually know Bernard and Conga’s, right. He is a good fit for me.
- At present, we have about 2.2 million profiles indexed in our system, [CLICK]of which about 186 thousand are connected with registered Conga users who are associating their LinkedInand Facebook accounts about evenly.
- We use about1.5 million factors to calculate each user’s profile.[CLICK]To date, there are over 55 million facts used across all profiles, of which 25 million are unique facts and 4 million are shared facts.
- Our platform is production.ELF version 1 is deployed.ELF version 2 is coded and ready, and ourDemonstration running at conga.com
- We are currently in discussion with potential partners in three market categories:Conferences and EventsRecruiting, andSocial & Business Social Networking
