ABOUT US

We’re a London based startup that is building an economy around people’s data and attention. In short, we’re creating a digital marketplace where consumers can dynamically license their personal data and attention to brands in return for a payment.

Our tech stack currently includes: Node (Heroku), ReactJS and AngularJS (Firebase), Express, Mongoose, SuperTest, MongoDB (MongoLab), npm (npmjs). Our distributed development team covers the development of the responsive web, mobile and browser extension products.

We’ve recently completed the functional MVP and will be pushing on towards our closed-beta launch at the end of January.
