4. Trust Insights ($480K/year)
Katie Robbert (from Boston, MA, USA) started Trust Insights about 5 years ago.
Hi, I’m Katie and I’m the CEO of Trust Insights. I co-founded this company in 2017 with my business partner Christopher S. Penn. Trust Insights is a consultancy that focuses on digital marketing, data analysis, and change management. We started the company as a reaction to what we were seeing in the marketing industry. There are a lot of marketers, and other professionals, that state they are “data-driven” but don’t make decisions with data. This is where we come in.
A big issue I saw with the consulting industry as a whole was a lack of transparency. Everyone is so tight-lipped about how things are done, with this fear that we’re going to steal each other’s secrets. I wanted to change that, change that culture and change that for our clients. We use a lot of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to do our analysis and there are very few resources that help non-technical people understand what’s going on and how the technology works. I wanted to change that conversation. I am not a data scientist like my co-founder, so I saw an opportunity to be a voice for those that are intimidated by advanced technology. I spend a lot of my time teaching and educating people not only on what we do but how we do it and how they could do it themselves.
5. Data Excavator ($48K/year)
Vitaly (from Tbilisi, Georgia) started Data Excavator almost 4 years ago.
Hi! My name is Vitaly, and I am a programmer. More precisely - a programmer and an entrepreneur. On one hand, I just love programming (15 years in PHP, JS, C#, C++, MySQL, and PostgreSQL). On the other hand, I hate doing it.
And while there are many opinions about the ethics of scraping, scraping applications remain a needed and sought-after product. I'm not saying that copying other people's content is fun or useful. But I can say that in many cases, scraping benefits everyone involved in the commodity-money relationship. Without detriment or problems for any of them. So, our story will be just about the bright side of data processing. Here we go!
