Built by investigators, for investigators.
Gondwana is an independent research platform dedicated to making Latin American corporate, procurement, and trade records searchable in one place. We were founded by a human rights attorney and anti-corruption investigator who spent a decade reconstructing shell networks one PDF at a time — and got tired of it.
The platform aggregates official records that are already public but scattered across dozens of registries, in dozens of formats, behind captchas, paywalls, and dead links. We pull them together, normalize them, and let you search across countries the way you'd search a single database.
We operate as a mission-driven nonprofit. Income supports infrastructure, data ingestion, and a small team. Free preview access exists so people can see what's possible. The real work — sustained research, dossiers, network analysis — happens through our academic/researcher and supporter tiers.
- journalists investigating cross-border corruption
- researchers studying illicit finance and shell networks
- attorneys doing pre-litigation due diligence
- NGOs tracking sanctioned actors and proxies
- compliance teams screening counterparties in LatAm
- prosecutors mapping criminal organizations
From a name to a network in three clicks.
Cross-border search
One query searches Colombian RUES, Panamanian Registro Público, Florida Sunbiz, UK Companies House, and 20+ more — at once. Fuzzy name matching across Spanish, English, and Portuguese.
Risk flagging
1.28 million entities cross-referenced against OFAC, EU, UN, UK, Swiss SECO, and 50+ other sanctions lists. PEP screening, offshore exposure, disqualified directors all surfaced automatically.
Network analysis
Force-directed graphs reveal hidden ownership chains, shared addresses, recurring directors, and shell company clusters across jurisdictions.
Trade unmasking
When a country hides company-level customs data, we cross-reference against neighboring countries' import records to surface the real exporters and importers.
Public contracts
764,000+ procurement contracts indexed. See who's winning government tenders, which suppliers depend on state revenue, and which contracts went to sanctioned actors.
Live data feeds
Several registries refresh on continuous polling — Panama Compra hourly, Peru SUNARP daily, Colombia courts in near real-time. New filings appear within hours.
Built bottom-up from official sources.
Every record traces back to a primary source: government registries, court filings, customs declarations, central bank disclosures, sanctions authorities. No black-box "proprietary risk scores" — just public data, organized.

Gondwana aggregates information from publicly available official sources. We do not provide credit scores, due-diligence opinions, or legal advice. Information may be incomplete, outdated, or contain errors from the underlying source. Names matching sanctioned individuals or politically exposed persons do not necessarily indicate identity — they require independent verification.
Controlled / sensitive use: some records — including sanctions lists, PEP indices, and offshore leaks — are aggregated for journalistic, research, and compliance use. They are not to be used for harassment, doxxing, illegal discrimination, or any purpose prohibited by applicable law. Users are responsible for compliance with data-protection laws (GDPR, LGPD, Habeas Data, CCPA, and equivalents) in their jurisdiction.
No warranty. The platform is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. By using Gondwana you agree that the operator is not liable for decisions made on the basis of information surfaced through the platform. Verify before acting.
