Startup Community
Global Ecosystem of Startup Innovation
A single access point into a diverse, curated, vetted, and continuously evolving ecosystem. Each one of our companies feature a service and/or technology that contributes to our mission of delivering competitive advantage through breakthroughs in customer experience, marketing, and advertising.
One Network, Unlimited Opportunity
Innovation can come from anywhere, at any time. This is why we have an Open Network; a curated selection of startups and independent companies that are continually refreshed, revisited, and approved by us.
Selected For Excellence
Each startup in our network has been thoroughly researched and reviewed. We only recommend startups that have a unique or proprietary technology, or a new and unique approach to engaging consumers. If it doesn't excite us, can be easily replicated, or is found elsewhere, it won't be part of our platform.
Dedicated Advisory Team
KSV has assembled a global Advisory Team of senior innovation leaders. Our team will guide you and your brand through the pilot phase with any of our startups, and ensure that they achieve your goals.

Startup Curation Focus Areas
Generative AI
The next 6 to 12 months will bring an explosion of experimentation, as companies build on top of ChatGPT using OpenAI’s API. We will be curating solutions in both customer experience as well as marketing and enterprise data management while monitoring the startup landscape for any new use cases.
Immersive Reality
We're looking for companies that offer a variety of metaverse solutions. From VR world-building to augmented experiences, we are filtering our selection criteria to surface only those companies that have demonstrated success with a major brand.
Customer Engagement
Customer experience is defined as any touchpoint that a business has with its customer. We're seeking startups that are improving these interactions; from AI-powered customer service to ratings and reviews. We're looking for companies that solve customer pain points, identify and resolve negative voices, reduce churn, and create more valuable and profitable customers.
Digital Media & Data
Innovations in machine learning and the rise of startups that can quickly navigate the changing data landscape are revolutionizing paid media. We are talking to companies that are leading the industry at delivering impressive ad-spend performance such as Return On Ad Spend (ROAS).
Social Commerce
By 2025, social commerce is projected to reach $80 billion, or 5 percent of total US e-commerce sales. This growth is due to the increase in shopping capabilities offered by social platforms. From creator networks to social shopping platforms, we are curating a solution that will help our clients engage new audiences and grow sales on social media.
Blockchain & Crypto
According to Deloitte, 41% of CMOs surveyed plan to support their advertising strategy with blockchain in the next 12 months. Crytpo is cited as a major use case and we are advising our Clients to look at new forms of payment and loyalty.
In-Store Experience
From holographic displays to AI-Avatar store greeters, the In-Store experience is more interactive than ever before. We're curating startups that support omni-channel strategies, leading consumers from online to in-store seamlessly.
