# Jan Čurn

![](https://media.brightdata.com/2021/02/Jan-Curn_Apify.png)#  Jan Čurn

CEO at Apify



**[Apify](https://apify.com/)** is a web scraping and automation company. We enable customers to automate anything that can be done manually in a browser and then run it at scale. Our customers range from small startups to Fortune 500 companies in sectors such as e-commerce, real estate, marketing, SEO, and artificial intelligence. The Apify platform is used to collect data for price comparison, tracking consumer sentiment, training AI or machine learning systems, but is also often used in really surprising ways. For example, we are currently working with a California-based non-profit called Thorn that uses Apify to help find missing children and fight human trafficking.

We use Bright Data’s [**Data Center**](https://brightdata.com/proxy-types/datacenter-proxies) and [**Residential IPs**](https://brightdata.com/proxy-types/residential-proxies). We use the Residential IPs for more complicated use cases. We have been using Bright Data for a few years and we are happy – **[there is barely any downtime](https://brightdata.com/blog/products-updates/100-percent-uptime)** and if we ever have issues, they are solved very quickly. We consider Bright Data to be a reliable and stable provider.
