Company overview

Banza is a consumer AI platform that enables users to build and own a personalised AI Twin by connecting their existing apps — such as Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, and Uber — through consent-based data integration. The platform unifies fragmented behavioural data across services to deliver cross-platform recommendations and proactive decision assistance covering content, food, shopping, and experiences. All data is stored in an encrypted private vault using zero-knowledge proofs and blind compute, ensuring privacy-preserving personalisation. Users also earn a reward currency called Banza Drops through app connections and referrals. The platform operates on a user-centric data model, positioning individuals — not platforms — as the primary beneficiaries of their own digital activity.
