Top Big Data Startups in 2027

We’re building Reflow, a workforce and workflow intelligence platform that helps teams understand and improve how work gets done.

Katalisia is a creator marketing platform built to make influencer marketing simpler, smarter, and more effective for brands and creators. Brands today spend significant time finding the right creators, evaluating profiles, managing outreach, coordinating campaigns, and tracking collaborations. Creators, on the other hand, often struggle to discover relevant brand opportunities and manage collaborations efficiently. Katalisia brings both sides together on one platform. Our platform helps brands discover and evaluate creators using data-driven insights, launch campaigns, manage creator collaborations, and streamline the campaign process from discovery to execution. Creators can discover relevant opportunities, understand campaign requirements, and collaborate with brands through a structured workflow. We are building a more transparent and efficient creator economy where brands can connect with the right creators based on relevance, audience, content, and campaign objectives rather than relying only on follower counts. At Katalisia, we are a fast-moving team that values ownership, experimentation, collaboration, and continuous learning. We encourage our people to take initiative, solve real problems, and have a meaningful impact on what we build. If you're excited about the creator economy, marketing technology, SaaS, and building something from the ground up, Katalisia offers an environment where you can learn, contribute, take ownership, and grow with the company.

Apt is building an AI-native workplace for building and measuring professional capability through real work. Today, people are largely evaluated through CVs, degrees, interviews, and credentials, claims about what they can do. We believe a better signal is what someone actually does when given meaningful work. Apt gives people a realistic workplace where they can take on roles, solve real problems, collaborate with AI coworkers and other people, make decisions, and build a verifiable history of how they think, collaborate, and execute.

The Problem: For 30 years, the industry has relied on dedicated hardware acceleration (like Intel AES-NI) to mask the inefficiency of legacy algorithms. As computing moves off traditional servers and onto diverse ARM and RISC-V edge devices, that hardware crutch is disappearing. Legacy cryptography (AES/SHA) is now too heavy for resource-constrained devices and acts as a massive bottleneck for real-time AI data ingestion. Our Solution: We have engineered the TRV Monolith—a paradigm-shifting, post-quantum cryptographic engine built entirely on our proprietary Boolean Transformation Gate System (BTGS). Built completely in native Rust, the engine operates with deterministic execution behavior, zero dynamic heap allocation, and is 100% dependency-free (no reliance on external libraries). It relies exclusively on symmetric state-transformation and non-linear Boolean Circuit Satisfiability, . This breakthrough allows us to solve three massive market mandates: The IoT & Edge Explosion: Running natively on edge hardware without dangerous compromises or heavy runtimes. The Sovereign Tech Mandate: Providing independent, verifiable cryptographic architectures to escape legacy vendor lock-in. The AI Data Pipeline: Securing massive real-time AI data harnesses without slowing down large language models (LLMs).
