Vision & Intro to Legends
Our mission is to unlock data to power authentic connections with ourselves, each other, and the world.
LegendsDNA™️ AI powered platform delivers this by transforming consumers' digital footprints into actionable insights to help brands personalize while managing privacy. By understanding the whole human across their entire travel history, lifestyle and brands our unique approach can help drive engagement, direct conversion and experience.
With first party data enrichment and zero party data collection from sources such as photos, calendar we enable automated real time preference profiles. Our label intelligence remaps the world by labelling supply aligned to preferences to match intent. Our matching engine delivers predictive audiences and prescriptive recommendations.
Why Your Work Matters
Today’s consumers crave the right thing at the right time, digitally and IRL. Brands spend billions trying to deliver it. However, the required data foundation is broken. With siloed systems, increasing privacy regulations and the decline of third-party cookies, plus the acceleration of AI, the need for a better solution is more urgent than ever.
McKinsey highlights travel as the industry poised to benefit the most from AI and data innovation, given the complexity of its systems and data. Every AI chat launch uses travel as the example where consumers are seeking the most relevant personalized response.
We began our journey as a B2C platform and as we learned of the deep need for our technology by brands pivoted to our huge B2B opportunity - still with a lens of ultimate consumer impact.
We’re supported by legendary advisors and investors in the space and have won prestigious awards, including NYC Tech Award, Phocuswright’s Global Start-Up of the Year, and Skift IDEAS finalists. We are currently engaged with industry leading brands and are at a pivotal moment of growth.
