The main components of the map:

• Verification

• Info mediary

• Infrastructure

• Group oriented


Questions that arised in creating the map:

• To whom is your fiduciary duty? Who are you responsible to? Acknowledgement that most of us are responsible to the consumer (at least indirectly), but many players (esp. in infrastructure) have a direct responsibility to the data/app/services providers.


Highest volume of players are involved in building personal data stores. A few folks are building something that helps enable groups of people to connect their personal data stores.


Venture funding:

• Personal

• Data.com

• Singly
