(Headquarters: Berlin, Germany; CEO: Joe Schaeppi; hereinafter "Solsten"), which helps companies design engaging digital experiences for audiences through the analysis of human psychology.
Solsten is a startup aiming to utilize technology rooted in depth psychology. It has developed a new approach to user surveys and analysis that combines psychology and AI. Solsten currently provides three core products called Traits, Navigator, and Frequency, mainly to gaming companies throughout the world. Traits employs AI-based analysis to identify key psychological characteristics in an audience while keeping individual users anonymous. Navigator uses these findings to provide insights that help in exploring potential target audiences and designing digital experiences tailored to the psychological traits of a target audience. Frequency is an intelligent advertisement manager that predicts and analyzes how new digital assets will perform with a target audience. After evolving these products further, Solsten will aim to construct a platform and contribute to the creation of next-generation digital experiences that will enable the use of analysis for designing game and advertisement distribution methods.
Dentsu Ventures will assist the expansion of Solsten’s business by collaborating for Dentsu Group’s clients in gaming and other industries architecting the next generation of digital experiences.
