Swivel's mission is to liberate the world's data and make it useful so new insights can be discovered and shared.

The Internet has been a positive force for the written word, photos, and videos. However, the world's most important data have been completely neglected. Many people live in a world of pure spin and opinion. When people, business leaders and politicians cannot access the facts in an engaging way they'll just ignore them. And when the facts are ignored citizens, communities and investors lose. Without accountability to the facts our world gets worse.

We believe data is most valuable when it's out in the open where everyone can see it, debate it, have fun, and share new insights. Swivel is applying the power of the Web to data so that life gets better.
