Lateral Thinking
Solving a problem by using your creativity to find new ways of looking at it.
About us - The power of machine learning
The new way to capture & scale knowledge
We founded Lateral in 2013 on a mission to empower people to quickly find the information they need. The world and technology is moving faster than ever before and yet reviewing and navigating information across documents is still a struggle. As is capturing expertise in such a way that lets individuals and companies create smart workflows that leverage their expertise, rather than constantly redoing the same work and making the same mistakes.
Lateral is the modern machine learning software for anyone who needs to review documents and rapidly navigate information across documents. For any company that wants to supercharge its people with an AI assistant for optimising and automating complex workflows.
We are machine learning experts, have built our technology from the ground up, we are obsessed with creating simple UX and delightful solutions to complex problems, we are an international team based in Berlin and Hobart.

Autonomy and Responsibility
How we work
We feel the most productive organisations give people and teams as much autonomy and responsibility as possible. Our organisation is agile and constantly improving its structure, to be able to adapt quickly when it needs to. Based on our interpretation of Holacracy we organise ourselves in circles, across which people can have different roles. The idea is that instead of a hierarchy where all decisions are passed down from management, circles organise themselves and everyone’s voice is heard. Our circles ensure the best possible problem solving structure and set direction for us to achieve our company goals and milestones.
