In the late 1990s, scientific computing was fragmented, inaccessible, and expensive. Researchers needed something better than a fractured array system. That’s why Travis Oliphant, then a Mayo Clinic PhD student, wrote NumPy and SciPy. Those tools are the foundation of modern data science and modern AI.

Travis went on to start Anaconda, bringing open-source data science to enterprise at global scale. Then Quansight, deepening that work with the world’s most demanding organizations. At each step, the same pattern: identify a moment where the world needs a new standard, build the open infrastructure, earn the trust of the community, and help enterprises adopt it at scale.
