Takeaways:

• Blockgraph's Mission: The company provides a privacy-focused collaboration platform and household identity framework, enabling advanced video strategies for around 50 clients in the U.S.

• Addressing Industry Fragmentation: As the video industry has grown more fragmented, especially with the rise of streaming, Blockgraph aims to offer a consistent approach to integrating first-party data across various video platforms.

• Data-Driven TV: Blockgraph's goal is to centralize the way brands use data for Connected TV (CTV) advertising, making it more seamless for advertisers across different platforms.

• Capabilities: Blockgraph's collaborative framework allows the use of first-party data for targeting and measurement across the entire video ecosystem, benefiting both large and small advertisers.

• Challenges with Streaming and Privacy: One of the issues Blockgraph addresses is signal loss in the open web, which makes it harder to measure advertising performance effectively compared to TV.

• Future Vision: Blockgraph aims to grow its customer base from 50 to 500 clients, with the goal of making CTV more effective and driving ROI for advertisers.
