Top Information Technology Startups in 2027

Proxima is a first-of-its-kind data intelligence solution that leverages machine-learning and a proprietary database of 50 million unique personas to produce customized audiences that generate superior ad performance on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest and TikTok. Proxima’s mission is to significantly reduce the cost of prospecting and thereby bring down the total cost of acquiring new customers allowing brands to either save money on advertising or drive more conversions with the same budget. The foundation of Proxima was established by our sister product, DojoMojo, a partnership network with over 15,000 brands including Daily Harvest, TheSkimm, Conde Nast, Hearst, Casper, Rothy’s, Allbirds and Warby Parker. The platform empowers brands to find the right partners for co-marketing campaigns, acquire new email + SMS leads at a fraction of the cost of traditional paid channels, and engage with their mobile subscribers through personalized SMS communication.

As consumers continue to demand greater transparency and accountability for the products they use, sustainability is no longer optional. That’s why we’ve built a technology-forward, data-driven network solution that empowers clean brands and manufacturers. Novi is the first to provide our thousands of users with the data, tools, and marketplace they need to procure materials and build the clean and transparent products that their customers are demanding. And while our roots are in the wellness and personal care category, we anticipate serving a much broader set of markets, including food, household cleaning, and more. The opportunity in front of us is vast (a $1.5T market), our mission is urgent, and we’re well-funded by top-tier VC firms (Defy, Greylock, and Tiger Global) making the investments required to achieve it. We’re looking for talented people passionate about sustainability to join us in building the future of consumer product development. If that’s you, let’s talk!

Pindrop® Protect provides a risk score and call intelligence to the call center in the first few seconds of each call. The risk score — along with the analysis of the caller’s voice, device, and behavior — is provided to the call center’s fraud analyst team for further investigation. Pindrop’s proprietary machine learning algorithms then use feedback from the investigation to maximize solution performance. Pindrop® Passport evaluates call center interactions in real-time to passively authenticate legitimate customers. Passport runs in the background of every call, combining patented Phoneprinting™ technology with proprietary Deep Voice™ biometrics to determine if a caller has the right device, voice, and behavior to access an account. Whether callers use voice or touch-tone interactions within the IVR — or opt to speak to an agent — Pindrop credentials follow customers across the lifecycle of each call.
