Company Summary

The Payback app collects Peoples Individual Data stored by big Internet companies, and puts it into an account that People own and control. We then deliver high quality video advertisements directly to People and pay them up to $60/hour to interact with those ads. Payback provides the platform which reverses the attitude towards ads: from ignoring and avoiding, to attention and attraction. This changes everything in the Advertising Industry.
