Mission:

Automating data subject access requests. Using pattern matching techniques, the London-based firm finds personal and sensitive information in unstructured data for data protection purposes. It queries its proprietary global names database to find the “known unknown” in terms of names, which the company says reduces manual processing of DSARs by up to 93%.

Mission:

Using entertainment to promote mental wellbeing. The Estonian startup wants more people to spend just 2% of their day focusing on their mental health. To this end, Synctuition has created an app that uses binaural beats, 3D sounds recorded in 2,000 locations and other audio technologies to create a library of “mind movies”. According to COO Michael Burich, these sounds create an “immersive dreamscape” to help people spend more time to “work on themselves”.
