Swish Goswami is a 23-year-old Canadian Entrepreneur, Speaker, and Investor. He is the CEO and Founder of Trufan, a social intelligence platform that empowers brands and Influencers to make smarter marketing decisions through the power of data. Trufan has made two acquisitions, raised over $4.1 million, and their clients range from Samsung, Netflix, NBA, and NFL to a plethora of small to medium-sized businesses. Swish is an advisor and investor for social media companies and he has amassed notable accolades within Canadian Entrepreneurship. ❗ What is the PROBLEM that Trufan is solving? The old channels through which brands collect data are dying. Slowly but surely, the third-party data (data owned by companies like Facebook) market is deprecating in front of our eyes. Here are some examples that highlight the severity of the problem... By the end of 2022, trillions of dollars worth of data across Firefox, Chrome, and Safari will cease to exist because 3rd party cookies across these browsers is going away With the release of Apple's iOS 14 update, the new privacy rules are going to wipe out an 80-billion-dollar mobile ad tracking market overnight. The GDPR and CCPA (data privacy laws) are wreaking havoc on marketers that are looking to advertise with Instagram and Facebook. Therefore, first-party data is increasingly important. People need true ownership over their audience data, for use whenever and wherever they please. Dependency on companies like Facebook and Google are not viable long-term solutions.
