What Data Society does

Data Society (legally DSQuorum, LLC) is a Washington, D.C.-based, woman-owned professional services firm founded in 2014 by Merav Yuravlivker, Dmitri Adler, and John Nader. The company delivers customized, live instructor-led data and AI training programs to Fortune 500 enterprises and government agencies, with a curriculum spanning SQL, Python, R, Power BI, Tableau, generative AI, prompt engineering, machine learning, and NVIDIA-certified deep learning and CUDA accelerated computing. Its service portfolio is organized around three interconnected lines — Enterprise Data & AI Upskilling Programs, Custom AI & Machine Learning Solutions (bespoke tools such as healthcare chatbots, ML risk models, and broadband mapping systems), and Data & AI Advisory Services launched in January 2026 — supported by a proprietary learning platform called meldR (Fast Company 2022 World Changing Ideas honorable mention) and structured frameworks including the Rule of Three AI Use Case Prioritization Framework. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and federal procurement vehicles including a GSA MAS Contract and multiple IDIQs, with select customers spanning the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Department of State, AFWERX, City of Dallas, Canadian Government, Discover Financial Services, Optum Health, Abt Associates, and the Inter-American Development Bank.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services engagements structured as multi-day or multi-week instructor-led cohorts with customized curricula, capstone projects using the client's own data, and bundled advisory. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed, and federal buyers can procure through GSA MAS schedules (SINS 54151S and 54611), SF-182 forms up to a $250,000 ceiling, and SAM.gov purchase orders. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales, channel partnerships (NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute, Seeq, Skillsoft, Datacamp), and government contract vehicles. The company has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 for three consecutive years (2021-2023), ranking #22 in 2022 with reported 747% three-year revenue growth (2019-2022), and as a Forbes Top 10 Edtech company. As of available reporting the company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding.
