Company Summary

Feed Inc. is a private software company founded by Mitch Ahlenius and Geoff Shaw in 2014. Feed gives users a trusted and secure mechanism for exchanging their data with brands for cash and personally-tailored offers. We intend to build our business by providing addictively useful, enjoyable, and highly secure mobile apps to customers who want to own and monetize their personal data that Feed apps create.

Feed apps create massive amounts of unique data. Providing personal data monetization services to our customers drives Feed’s business model. We support our customers, our apps and the data they create together with our own proprietary cognitive software service platform.

We are releasing Sesame, our first cognitive software app this November. Sesame is the world's first personal cognitive mobile messaging app. Sesame absolutely assures that each user's private messages stay private. Sesame enhances user's lives by making their messages their personal property. Among other things, that means users can take their messages, shared photos and other attachments back whenever they want, even after sending. Sesame is the initial delivery vehicle for personally-tailored brand offers.

Our mission is to provide a trusted pipeline for the secure exchange of data: the oil of the 21st century.
