TROPT Defining the Privacy Tech Landscape Whitepaper

A Foundational Whitepaper to Help Fuel Privacy Innovation

In this foundational whitepaper, we at The Rise of Privacy Tech (TROPT) continue our work of bridging the gaps between the key players in privacy tech: founders, investors, domain experts, and user-buyers. We start off by defining privacy tech, which requires understanding privacy. We then categorize privacy tech, introducing the TROPT Privacy Tech Stack. We also surveyed privacy tech key players to hear about their different pain points, the privacy problems they’re solving for, the solutions they’re building or buying, and the challenges they face at this nascent time in the privacy tech industry. Lastly, we share insights from the forefront of the privacy tech industry, with recommendations on how we can collectively keep fueling privacy tech and innovation. We outline proposed responses to what we learned from this endeavor. Most importantly, we call for each key player to join us in fueling privacy tech, outlining specific recommendations on how to do so.
