“As management, it’s exciting to see all the diligent and focused work of every employee of Graph come to fruition as we take the company public.  The consecutive milestones hit by the company throughout the year has allowed us to grow and develop into a successful company, authenticated by our multi-national client list, and the best part is, this is just the beginning,” says Peter Kim, incoming Chairman and CEO of Graph.

“We have been incubating Graph through Datametrex, and we are thrilled to see it at the very end of the process, to become a stand-alone public company.  We are extremely proud of the team and how much they have achieved in such a short time. With the existing pipeline getting executed and expanding, our commitment to Datametrex shareholders in adding value through this joint venture stands firm as we begin realizing the benefit as a major shareholder of Graph,” says Andrew Ryu, Chairman and CEO of Datametrex.
