⚾ The Elevator Pitch:
News publishing has been the same for years: walls of text, with some custom-built charts for important news bites, such as a presidential election or a fallout story. But data is everywhere - why don't we have more chart visuals? A few reasons: scarcity (hard to find), inaccessibility (hard to get), technicality (hard to make).
HighGeorge transforming news publishing by creating data visualizations that you can drag-and-drop into articles. No data background required. To do so, HiGeorge has a library that contains a plethora of interactive data visualizations to supplement different articles and storylines - all of which can be localized to any region and customized to meet specific requirements. One simply searches by keyword, topic, or location to find the perfect graph. Then, publishers add the visualization to your article by simply copying-and-pasting an embed code.

HiGeorge takes the fuss out of data visualization and truly owns their process end-to-end. They gather the data, filter it, visualize it, and the only thing to do for publishers is to paste code. That's beautiful. - 🔢 Adjacent industries Media isn't the only industry that wants data visualization - and needs a no-code solution to do it.
