UBDI operates a consumer app and an online research portal that lets individuals participate in financial, social, entertainment, fitness, and health research studies and be compensated for anonymized, aggregated insights. The company says members keep data on their devices in a secure, encrypted, decentralized data vault and are paid with cash and UBDI points for contributions. UBDI's PrivateMatch technology matches researchers with qualifying participants without revealing identities, and the company claims its approach can generate about $1,000 per person per year with minimal ongoing effort. UBDI is currently in beta and has a strategic partnership with digi.me to support privacy and personal data management. The company has offices in Washington, DC and Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and plans to use new funding to grow its team, sales, and marketing efforts. UBDI was selected to present at Finovate in New York and MyData in Helsinki, signaling early industry interest.
