Company Profile

Company Description:

FiveThirtyEight, which launched as a stand-alone entity in 2014, is a data journalism organization delivering compelling stories across the verticals of politics, science and sports. The site, founded by award-winning author and statistician Nate Silver, first gained national attention during the 2008 presidential election, when it correctly predicted the results of the presidential election in 49 of 50 states, along with all 35 U.S. Senate races. Since it expanded to a full site, FiveThirtyEight has built a team with a broad set of skills and experiences in order to apply statistical analysis, data visualization and data-literate reporting to topics in the news and in everyday life.
