Tom Sawyer Software is a Berkeley, California company founded in 1992 - the first commercial firm devoted entirely to graph visualization, layout, and analysis. Its low-code platform, Tom Sawyer Perspectives, plus tools like Explorations and the SysML v2 Viewer, let enterprises, governments, and software vendors turn tangled networks of data into readable pictures: fraud rings, supply chains, telecom topologies, and system models. Bootstrapped, profitable, and global, it has spent three decades drawing the lines between things.
DataWalk is a graph- and AI-enabled analysis and investigation platform that unifies disparate data sources so analysts at banks, insurers, and government agencies can spot hidden relationships, run no-code queries, and pursue fraud, money laundering, and threat investigations at scale.
Brendan Madden is the founder and CEO of Tom Sawyer Software, a Berkeley-based pioneer in graph visualization and analysis technology that he has led since 1992. With four decades of experience in the graph field - starting at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center - Madden built one of the world's foremost graph visualization platforms, serving industries from finance and government to manufacturing and cybersecurity. Under his leadership, Tom Sawyer Software has become a go-to platform for building scalable graph-powered applications, digital twins, and systems modeling tools, with the company's latest push into AI-powered graph technologies and SysML v2 viewer capabilities.
