Narrative I/O
Narrative I/O is a New York-based data infrastructure company that makes incompatible data work together. Its platform automatically normalizes disparate datasets, resolves identity, and lets companies securely buy, sell, enrich, and activate data - increasingly delivered natively inside a customer's own Snowflake environment so no data has to move. Founded in 2016 by Nick Jordan and led since 2023 by CEO Tim Mahlman, Narrative serves marketers, data scientists, and enterprises including Nielsen, TransUnion, Experian, and Fanatics.
Jon Jacobson
Jon Jacobson is the co-founder, Group CEO and CTO of Omnisient, a privacy-preserving data collaboration platform that lets banks, insurers, retailers and healthcare organizations share and analyze consumer data without exposing raw personal information. A software engineer with more than 25 years building data platforms, he founded Omnisient in South Africa in 2019 to attack a specific problem: nearly two billion people are shut out of affordable financial services because they lack the behavioral data lenders use to assess risk. His platform uses cryptography to tokenize and match datasets locally, turning loyalty-card and retail data into alternative credit signals.
Tim Mahlman
Tim Mahlman is the CEO of Narrative I/O, a New York-based data collaboration platform that lets companies buy, sell, and share data as easily as sending an email. He took the top job in May 2023 after a 25-plus-year run through the plumbing of digital advertising: founding member of one of the first ad networks in 1996, co-founder of the video exchange Vidible, president of platforms at AOL and then Verizon Media where the division grew from $1.5B to $4B, and president of the pet-health startup Petabyte before it was acquired by Chewy. He splits his time between New York City and the Bay Area.
Translucent AI
Translucent AI is an AI-native financial operating system built specifically for healthcare providers. Its agentic platform unifies clinical, operational, and financial data, then deploys AI agents that continuously monitor P&L, labor, service line profitability, revenue cycle, and payer contracts - answering complex finance questions in plain language and surfacing root causes in real time. Founded in 2024 in New York by former health-system CIO Jack O'Hara, the company aims to give every hospital its own 24/7 financial analyst, replacing the spreadsheet-driven, consultant-dependent FP&A work that has long defined healthcare finance.
Manifold
Manifold is a Boston-area applied-AI company building a vertical agent platform for life sciences. Its software helps pharma companies, molecular diagnostics firms, biobanks and academic medical centers turn messy multimodal biomedical data into governed, analysis-ready insight - compressing workflows that used to take months into minutes, while keeping the data governance that regulated research demands. Founded in 2016 and led by CEO Vinay Seth Mohta, the company raised an $18M Series B in December 2025, bringing total funding to roughly $40M.
LiveRamp
LiveRamp is a data collaboration platform that helps companies connect, control, and activate their first-party data across the marketing and advertising ecosystem without giving up control of it. Born from the simple idea of an 'on-ramp' that links offline customer records to online channels, LiveRamp now runs a privacy-centric identity graph (RampID) and a cloud-native data clean room used by brands, agencies, retail media networks, and publishers to match, measure, and monetize data securely.
Scott Howe
Scott Howe is the Chief Executive Officer of LiveRamp, the San Francisco-based data collaboration platform that helps the world's largest brands stitch together customer signal across walled gardens, clean rooms, and a cookieless web. He took the job in October 2018 after seven years running Acxiom, LiveRamp's former parent, and before that ran Microsoft's multi-billion-dollar advertising business and helped build Avenue A | Razorfish at aQuantive.
AppsFlyer
AppsFlyer is the mobile measurement and marketing analytics platform that helps brands figure out which ads actually work. Founded in Tel Aviv in 2011 and now headquartered in San Francisco, it operates as an independent third-party attribution layer between advertisers, ad networks and app stores - trusted by tens of thousands of companies including HBO, NBC, Macy's, Alibaba and Activision.
Atlan
Atlan is a data and AI control plane - a metadata-driven workspace that helps data teams catalog, govern, and collaborate across the modern data stack. Built like Figma for data, it sits between tools like Snowflake, Databricks, dbt and BI dashboards to give companies a single source of truth for what their data means, who owns it, and whether it can be trusted by humans or AI agents.
Vendia
Vendia is an AI data platform that enables real-time, governed data sharing across companies, clouds, and regions. Founded by Tim Wagner (creator of AWS Lambda) and Shruthi Rao (former AWS blockchain head), Vendia helps enterprises like BMW, Delta Air Lines, and Fannie Mae break down data silos through its flagship product Vendia Share and newer MCP Gateway - allowing multiple parties to collaborate on trusted data without sacrificing security, compliance, or control.
