Jose founded BrightQuery in 2019 to provide firmographics, financials, corporate family trees, and legal information on the U.S. economy. The information comprises over 100 million legal entities, 70 million organizations, 150 million employees and business owners, and 250 million locations. BQ sources this information from regulatory, tax, and legal filings, including the IRS, Department of Labor, SBA, SEC, and over 80,000 governmental jurisdictions.

Formed in 2023, BQ AI is an initiative to build a super-intelligence of the global economy, beginning with the U.S., by leveraging BQ’s proprietary database. It is being built from the ground up at the atomic level by modeling the economy as a complex system of interacting companies, consumers, households, governments, and events. BQ AI will connect the “micro view” of particular companies and people to the “macro view” of regions, industries, governments, and the environment.
