POPUTRUST OPPORTUNITY SUMMARY:

People Search is a massive Multi-BILLION dollar market. Our direct competitor just raised $250M at a $4 Billion valuation from Venture Capital to exploit this market (think about the background check your UBER driver or nanny had to take). Regardless of your politics about Guns/Firearms – few argue against background checks, yet fewer know how difficult these really are to execute effectively. People no longer just search "for fun" on celebrity names-a quick name search is often a precursor to a business meeting, a romantic date, a landlord/tenant relationship, employer/employee screening, college application process, or other research process. Billions of Searches for name per DAY from the web (i.e. Google) and increasingly from Mobile Devices. Currently, big data firms are selling this data to the highest bidder...soon...as awareness of this practice grows...individuals will want to own, control, and sell their personal data back to these same marketers. PopuTrust is where individuals go to take back control of their online identity and sensitive Personal Data.
