Omnisient - Collaborative Consumer Intelligence

Using privacy enhancing technologies, US-patented Crypto-IDs and AI-powered data clean rooms, the platform matches mutual customers across datasets so lenders can score credit-invisible and thin-file consumers using alternative behavioral data - all while personal information never leaves the owner's environment. Founded in Cape Town and now expanding into the United States, the company protects hundreds of millions of consumer records for more than 100 enterprises.
CLOUDSUFI
CLOUDSUFI is a Silicon Valley data-driven digital transformation company that helps enterprises turn raw, siloed information into decisions - a mission it captures in the phrase 'we make enterprise data dance.' Founded in 2019 and headquartered in San Jose, California, the firm pairs data engineering, advanced analytics, and generative AI with a Google Cloud Premier partnership to modernize data platforms, automate supply chains, and unlock data monetization for customers across manufacturing, retail, financial services, energy, and digital-native industries.
DrumWave Inc.
DrumWave Inc. is a Mountain View, California technology company building the financial rails for a new data economy - one where personal and corporate data is treated as an owned, savable, tradable asset. Its flagship dWallet platform and Data Savings Account let individuals and companies store certified data, exchange it with consent, and earn income from it, much like a bank account for the information people generate every day. Founded in 2015 and led by Brazilian-American entrepreneur Andre Vellozo, DrumWave gained attention for launching its Data Savings Account at Money20/20 USA in 2024 and for partnering with Brazil's state tech firm Dataprev on what is billed as the world's first national data monetization program.
Pogo
Pogo is a New York-based consumer data platform that pays Americans for the data they already generate. Through its free mobile app, more than 3 million opted-in users share transactions, receipts, app usage, and location visits, then choose exactly how it gets used - anonymous market research or personalized offers from trusted brands - and collect real cash 'Data Dividends' in return. In 2026 Pogo leaned into that first-party purchase data to launch what it calls the world's first AI research platform, connecting brands with purchase-verified buyers through AI-moderated interviews and surveys.
Dom Wong
Dom Wong is the co-founder and CEO of Pogo, a New York startup rebuilding the data economy by paying people directly for their own data. What began as 'Honey for the real world' - an app that rewards users for sharing location, email, and transaction history - has grown into an AI-powered consumer research platform that lets brands interview hundreds of purchase-verified shoppers within an hour. With 3M+ opted-in users, visibility into roughly 1 in every 150 American shopping trips, and over $30M raised, Wong has turned the question 'why don't people get paid for their own data?' into a business ranked the #1 loyalty app in America by Newsweek two years running.
