Hm.

It seems to work somewhat for SV startup companies, but fails pretty badly on others.

Eg:

IBM

https://www.getcontext.io/classifier/#/about/ibm: Evenly distributed between Augmented Reality/Cloud Computing/Cloud Infrastructure/Entertainment/Fintech/HR

Google

https://www.getcontext.io/classifier/#/about/google - apparently about virtual currency and crypto currency as much as a search engine.

Ford: No result

GE: Serves results for GEICO

Hi NL, thx for giving our hack a spin. We are working on it. Next version will have auto generated feature trees which will result in much better results.
