Dublin-based data compliance & relationship startup DataShips raises €2.6 million
Summary
From privacy policies to cookie consent tools, GDPR to CCPA, Dataships aims to make it simple for SMEs. Talking about the funding round, Julie Lein, Managing Partner, Urban Innovation Fund comment ed: “Startups and SMBs generally have no idea how to begin approaching the myriad of new data privacy laws and standards being issued (GDPR in the EU, CCPA in CA, etc). Michael experienced this problem first hand in his previous start up, Fantasy Rugger which was successfully sold to RugbyPass in 2017. We’re here to unravel all of this and show companies the happy path of compliance, how easy it can be but also how beneficial it is to have compliant first party data in your organisation. The future will be defined by having first party access to your customers so it’s table stakes to have healthy data relationships with them, or as we call them: Dataships.”
