Webshrinker began in 2012 as a screenshot-as-a-service company dedicated to generating website screenshots at scale.
The company was started by our Head of Data Science, Adam Spotton and quickly grew.
By 2015, Webshrinker’s domain categorization became the driving feature of the product, as there was a need for accurate website classification. It was around this time DNS security company DNSFilter became a Webshrinker customer, as they sought bleeding edge Machine Learning technology that could categorize large numbers of domains for its growing portfolio of users.
