Our Story

Many entrepreneurs start companies because they want to be their own boss. Others start a company because they are frustrated by the way things are in their industry and know things can be done better. In 2004, Andy Wilson and Sheng Yang started Logik for both reasons.

The idea was simple: create a niche business focused on eDiscovery processing and grow from there while keeping it lucid, smart and fun. Funny how the simple ideas are always the best ones.

Since our humble beginnings in the dining room of a Washington, DC apartment to our much-larger and new location in Chinatown (still in DC), we have been fortunate enough to work with many different AM Law 250 law firms and Fortune 1,000 corporations. Our dedication to the right tools, the right people and the right attitude means that despite one of the worst economic downturns in history, Logik is growing – and is hiring other smart people.  It’s not luck; it’s great clients, amazing software, open communication, a get-it-done work ethic and weekly ping-pong tournaments..

The Founders

  • Andy Wilson, Co-Founder & CEO

    After a stint as a software developer for EDS, Andy fell into the world of eDiscovery working at a small legal-services company in Virginia.  It was a time when the eDiscovery Industry was in a primitive state image (paper print-outs of email and attachments were still in vogue). Building on his degree in Decision Support Systems from Virginia Tech, Andy decided there just had to be a better system for doing eDiscovery.  So, he and Sheng took their big idea and set out to create Logik.  Andy lives in Washington DC with his wife and two children.

  • Sheng Yang, Co-Founder and CTOimage

    While earning his degree in computer engineering at Virginia Tech, Sheng spent a lot of time feeding his curiousity by tinkering around with all kinds of new technologies, from bluetooth applications to advanced FTP transmission (at least..it was advanced back then). It was this “constantly thinking of a better way” that got Sheng thinking about a new way to process large and unstructured sets of data. Gridlogik™, Sheng’s baby, is the direct result of recognizing this complex problem and building an elegant software solution around it.

  • That producing in native format isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be, and sometimes producing in tiff with metadata can be faster and easier?

  • That collecting images from virtual machines can be much faster and easier than collecting an image from a non-virtual machine with the use of virtual machines snapshot features?
