Hackford is a London-based intelligence platform for understanding the firms and people powering the UK's financial services industry. Launched in June 2025, Hackford's platform enables compliance consultants and regtech teams to search, segment, and monitor all FCA-regulated businesses and professionals.

The platform combines regulatory data from the FCA Register and other public sources, offering real-time search by firm type, regulatory permissions, and key individuals. With features like watchlists, weekly alerts, and detailed compliance contact data, Hackford turns a fragmented public record into actionable intelligence for the professionals who need it most.

Founder and CEO Dan Robinson previously held consulting and operational roles at Beauhurst—the UK's leading private company intelligence platform, trusted by investors, banks, and the public sector. Before that, he was an analyst at The Sunday Times Fast Track, which ranked and celebrated the country's fastest-growing private businesses. Dan brings expertise in data-led research and market analysis to Hackford's mission: making regulatory intelligence accessible and actionable for professionals across financial services.
