Requests for Technology (RFT)

Every week, hundreds of CB Insights customers source technology vendors & partners on our platform.

We’re going to feature some of those Requests for Technology (RFTs) in our Saturday newsletters.

Here are a few recent RFTs we’ve received:

RFT #1 — A major eyewear manufacturer is looking to provide customers and optical professionals with a remote eye test solution.

RFT #2 — A global tax consultancy wants to use synthetic data to train machine-learning algorithms for auditing transactions.

RFT #3 — A multinational bank and financial services company is looking to create a digital vault for its clients and is examining vendors to work with.

If you’re building technology which can assist with any of this (or know a company that can), submit an Analyst Briefing here.
