SOFTWARE ENGINEERING MANAGER @ POPUTRUST

PopuTrust, LLC is a SaaS-technology "Big Data" business which owns the popular website which offers "Trusted People Search" services.  Via its SaaS technology platform ) PopuTrust, LLC is focused on becoming the leading source of information about People. With over 10% of all Google searches now "people related" …people are more and more obsessed with "people".  PopuTrust is the comprehensive & trusted source of aggregated public information. As a "meta-search-engine" PopuTrust allows customers to search at just one location for multiple sources of digital content.    

THE OPPORTUNITY:  People Search is a massive Multi-BILLION dollar market. People no longer just search "for fun" on celebrity names – a quick name search is often a precursor to a business meeting, a romantic date, a landlord/tenant relationship, employer/employee screening, college application process, or other research process.  Billions of Searches for name per DAY from the web (i.e. Google) and increasingly from Mobile Devices. Currently, big data firms are selling this data to the highest bidder…soon…as awareness of this practice grows…individuals will want to own, control, and sell their personal data back to these same marketers.  PopuTrust is where individuals go to take back control of their Online Identity and sensitive Personal Data.  Competitors:   Intelius (revenues of $150 million), PeopleSmart, Spokeo, BeenVerified, myLife-com, and reputation-com.

OUR PEOPLE:  PopuTrust was started by a team of tech entrepreneurs and web software engineers with extensive experience building high growth, profitable ventures including VC-backed SaaS (software-as-a-service) businesses. Their passion for building great internet and "big data" businesses has created an energy and enthusiasm that is infused throughout 8 staff members & contractors onboard including marketing experts, web programmers, SEO gurus, big data compilation experts, and cutting edge web engineers. "Big Data" as it is known has massive technical challenges – as current database technology often cannot keep up with demand. PopuTrust is on the forefront of the "NO-SQL" movement. PopuTrust, LLC was formed and incubated at The Market Accelerator – a startup incubator and technology accelerator based on Market Street in downtown Portsmouth, NH and MIT/ Kendall Square, Cambridge, Mass.  FOUNDER:
