Ignidata, from Lisbon and incubated at Startup Lisboa, is among the nine ‘Madtech’ startups that made it through the challenging application and pitching process to be selected for Collider Class of ‘15. The startups offer diverse services and products specifically targeted at the marketing and advertising industries. They range from real-time analytics, both in-store and online, to tracking ‘dark social’, to image analysis with a strong focus on data. Fundamentally they are anticipating and solving problems brands, agencies and marketers are faced with every day.
Collider is an accelerator dedicated to marketing and advertising startups, who help brands understand, engage with and sell to their consumers. They invest capital in these startups, coach them through a highly structured programme and connect them to potential customers and investors.
About Ignidata:
Ignidata provides brands with in-depth market research from a mobile survey integration based on a ‘pay with time’ model, while also providing a monetization option for digital media content providers.
This is the perfect accelerator for companies who are developing a marketing tech solution as it allows startups from a very early stage to start asking global brands questions that will help us to develop a product with the exact specifications that the global market wants. – Pedro Vilela, Ignidata
