**The signal:** Brave, a privacy-first browser, is intent on disrupting Google’s business model through its unique advertising platform, which [profit shares 70% of ad revenue](https://thehustle62422.acemlnb.com/lt.php?notrack=1&s=464883b9eb98efcb30e66001092f3634&i=36A73A2A274). Unlike conventional ad programs, ad-matching is performed on the user’s device, never exposing people’s data to third parties.

The company is growing users at an exponential rate -- it raised [$35m in 30 seconds](https://thehustle62422.acemlnb.com/lt.php?notrack=1&s=464883b9eb98efcb30e66001092f3634&i=36A73A2A275) through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) of its Basic Attention Token (BAT).

**The opportunity:** People are increasingly concerned with their privacy. Although Brave has effectively targeted the browser space, there are still a wealth of commonly used products that function off of selling or abusing user privacy. Products have even been made to help users identify these products, like [No More Google](https://thehustle62422.acemlnb.com/lt.php?notrack=1&s=464883b9eb98efcb30e66001092f3634&i=36A73A2A276).

And a focus on privacy is universal: Brave reports that its user base is pretty evenly distributed across [North America (33-35%), Europe (30%), and elsewhere](https://thehustle62422.acemlnb.com/lt.php?notrack=1&s=464883b9eb98efcb30e66001092f3634&i=36A73A2A277).
