peopleio

We're giving people ownership of their data to enable the next evolution of human connectivity.

Our mission is to give people ownership of their data by creating a ‘firewall for people’ that will give individuals control over the access, use and value of their decentralised personal data. people.io is a mobile app which helps people realise the true value of their data, by rewarding users for taking actions such as answering questions, connecting online accounts and engaging with relevant brands. Importantly, though, this data is never sold to anyone and if the user deletes their account, all their data is deleted too. For now, we’re paying people to care about their data. But we are building towards a future when there will be inherent value in having ownership and control of our personal data. Since the company was founded in 2015, we've been a part of Startup Next (the #1 pre-accelerator run by Techstars), completed two investment rounds and are now also a part of Wayra Deutschland (Telefonica's global accelerator). We are now focussed on product development and a number of major announcements throughout 2017 that will see people.io introduced to other European markets. people.io is an operating subsidiary of C8 Management Ltd.
