Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Most of the time, we freely give up personal data in exchange for services –platforms like Instagram and Facebook have built up entire business empires through this business model. Many consumers are unaware of the vast amount of data that these firms hold on them. Fewer still control its usage, or have found a way to earn from it.
This is the problem that Sumus' founders are seeking to solve. The company is looking to provide internet users with better control over their own personal data. Its app promises to help users understand who has access to their data, how to control their data, as well as providing the tools to monetise it through web 0.3.
The team are in the early stages of building their first product, and still have a little way to go before bringing it to the public. However, if Sumus can capitalise on a target audience of anyone who uses the internet, it has the potential to go far. Leveraging the collective power of users, influencers, and brands, Sumus is creating a platform that meets the growing demand for eco-conscious products, standing at the forefront of sustainable commerce.
