Bizbaz builds customer intelligence and risk-management solutions that aggregate digital footprints (including social media and frequently used smartphone apps) and can assess personality and risk appetite via a short 45-second conversation when a smartphone is unavailable. The company tailors templates by country and industry and customizes solutions using client data rather than a one-size-fits-all product. Bizbaz employs nearly 20 people with backgrounds in behavioral science, health tech, AI and data; its development team is mainly in the Middle East, its data team in India, and its sales, business development and product teams operate from Southeast Asia. The startup says it has generated organic, positive month-on-month revenue growth. Bizbaz plans to spend 20–30% of the new funding on outreach and marketing, upgrade its web presence, recruit additional data and software developers and analysts, and invest in product development. It is also exploring deployments of its solutions within parts of HSBC in Asia and Europe while retaining autonomy to bring in other partners and customers.
