Prifina’s February 2019 Roundup
Prifina believes that individuals should own their private data and is building tools to empower individuals to control that data.
Hello and welcome to Prifina’s first newsletter! Great to have you.
Here is what Prifina’s team has been up to in January and February 2019.
Go-To-Market Strategy Updates
We believe that you should own your private information. Therefore, we are working to offer you the tools to take back control of your data. During January 2019, Prifina team has put most of its time and effort to explore possible partnerships with major technology companies for whom users’ data is becoming a huge liability.
Prifina has been actively working towards crystallizing top go-to-market strategies. For that purpose, we created a number of possible scenarios in which ownership of private sensitive information appears to be most critical. Prifina is working towards finding innovative ways how to de-risk its go-to-market approaches.
February has been also filled with conversations with potential investors and future partners. We have participated in the 2019 Harvard New Venture Competition — one of the most prestigious pitch competitions in the Bay Area offering possibility to meet early-stage companies founded by Harvard University alumni.
Pilots
Prifina has entered into agreements to cooperate in building pilot studies and develop possible private data management tools for specific use cases. Our first pilot partner is a health device manufacturer which is collecting data about device user’s activities and provides them recommendations based on the data collected. Prifina’s second pilot partner is one of the major financial services providers in the world.
Collaborations
In February, Prifina also entered into an agreement with a military grade security provider. Security is one of the core elements of Prifina’s data ownership and management tools. As a result of this new offering, Prifina’s users will be able to enjoy the highest level of security of their data.
