Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Since its founding, Primer has built a series of products founded on a core set of computational engines: Structure, Ensemble, Event, Context, Difference, and Story.
This modular architecture allows continuous development on Primer's analytic pipeline, giving customers access to a diverse set of document types over multiple different languages. These engines automate the tasks of extracting information, analysing on a large scale, identifying key insights, and outputting text and graphics that can be read by humans.
Primer fuses this machine intelligence, pushing the edge of what's currently possible, with a close-knit team that helps customers identify their core problems. These problems have included helping the Pentagon assess disinformation campaigns, and identifying Russian interference in Azerbaijan.
Primer's technology has been deployed by some of the world's largest government agencies, Fortune 50 companies, and financial institutions, helping accelerate human understanding of the world. With current operation in Chinese, English, and Russian, more languages are also on the way.

- Creating Legacy - We believe in building something of deep, lasting impact. We live for those achievements so special that you can’t wait to tell a loved one, but we know getting there takes persistence, a growth mindset, a tolerance for failure, and a shared sense of purpose
- Constantly Curious - We believe that curiosity leads us to deeper truths, and that the deepest truths lie hidden in the hardest puzzles. Those are the puzzles worth solving. We take great joy and pride in doing so, and in doing so first
- Obsessed with Better - We believe that every detail counts. No matter what we’re working on, we are obsessed with getting better, faster, and more advanced. We want everything we craft to be crafted — to feel crafted — particularly to our users. Merely okay is not okay

- Customers to Champions - Adding value to customers is everything to our growth. If we focus on delivering value vs. fulfilling line items on a spreadsheet, then we’ll succeed. No question
