Mint and Turbo,
announced today it has entered into an agreement to acquire Origami
Logic, the makers of an advanced data integration, ingestion, and
analytics platform. Based in Silicon Valley, Origami Logic developed
technology to analyze and gain insights from multiple data sets.

Intuit has been accelerating its strategy to become an A.I.-driven

insights to our customers,” said Sasan Goodarzi, Intuit’s chief
executive officer. “This acquisition will accelerate Intuit’s ability to
organize, understand, and use data to deliver personalized insights that
help customers quickly achieve success and build confidence whenever

Logic designed a broad and generic platform with a solid foundation and
user-friendly tools. Origami Logic’s platform is capable of collecting
data from a variety of sources and generating insights quickly and
efficiently.

“Our focus today has been on applying science to the art of marketing.
The challenges of taming diverse, rapidly changing and overlapping data
sources are universal, and require both technology and human expertise
to solve,” said Opher Kahane, Origami Logic’s chief executive officer
and co-founder. “This has been our focus since our inception, and we are
excited by the opportunity to apply this to the problems Intuit is
solving for millions of customers.”

“We are impressed with the way the Origami team tackled their problem
through the development of an elegant platform,” said Marianna Tessel,
Intuit’s chief technology officer. “We are looking forward to
integrating Origami Logic’s platform and expertise into our
infrastructure to accelerate our journey toward delivering end-to-end
experiences that delight customers.”
