European technology company. Built by operators, for operators.
For 15 plus years our team used customer intelligence to grow the businesses we operated and advised. Today, that same discipline is a product. Signals, not scores. Insights, not decisions.
The Origin Story
SocialScore did not start as an idea for a startup. It started as a practical answer to a problem we lived with for years, inside the businesses we operated.
The founding team spent the better part of two decades running e-commerce operations, payments products, marketing agencies and data teams across the Bulgarian and European markets. Every business we touched had the same paradox. Rich transaction data. Endless dashboards. Detailed reports on what customers bought, when they bought it, and how much they spent. And almost nothing on who those customers actually were.
Marketing teams were spraying and praying. Risk teams were rejecting people who should have been approved. Product teams were building for personas they described in adjectives, not signals. All of them were paying a premium to platforms that knew the customer better than the merchant did.
So we started doing it ourselves. We enriched anonymous traffic with public digital footprints. We cross-referenced behavioural patterns with interest signals from open sources. We built persona clusters that told the marketing team who to talk to, and told the risk team where to be cautious. It was a manual, disciplined, unglamorous process. And it worked.
Across the businesses we operated and advised, this approach generated tens of millions of euros in additional revenue. It cut acquisition costs. It lifted approval rates on genuine customers. It turned marketing from a cost centre into a conversation.
We kept doing the same thing across different companies, in different sectors, with the same result. At some point it stopped being a workflow and started being a category.
The founding thesis
In 2024, the founding team incorporated DSNTech LTD in Sofia, Bulgaria, and committed full time to turning the method into a platform. The goal was simple: take what used to require a data team, weeks of work and a stack of custom integrations, and deliver it as one API call, in under 200 milliseconds, with the compliance posture a European business can actually sign.
Two years of engineering, data science and legal work later, that platform is SocialScore. It runs on European infrastructure. It sits under GDPR and is designed to stay outside the high-risk classification of the AI Act. It is used by e-commerce, fintech and financial services teams who need to understand a customer at the moment of the transaction, not weeks later in a report.
Same principle we ran on paper. Same discipline. Delivered as a product any business can plug in.
What we do. And what we don't.
We are careful about this line, because it matters. Legally, ethically, and for how our customers use the platform.
Our customers keep decisional authority. We provide the intelligence layer. This is a deliberate design choice, and it is how the platform stays useful, defensible, and inside the guardrails of European regulation.
The Method
An email, a phone or an IP is passed to SocialScore. We enrich it against 500 plus external characteristics and 150 plus public OSINT sources in real time.
Signals are grouped across 30 plus interest categories and behavioural patterns to compose a real time persona of the person behind the transaction.
Sub-200 millisecond response. Every signal carries a confidence level and known limitations. What your team does with the signals is your team's decision.
Decisions belong to your team. The platform is designed to inform, not to replace. Every workflow includes room for review, override, and audit.
Why we exist
To give businesses the power to truly understand their customers. Not just their transactions. We replace guesswork with intelligence, and we do it inside a framework of transparency, human oversight, and European data protection standards.
A world where every business has the customer intelligence to act with confidence. Where knowing your customer is a superpower, not a compliance checkbox. And where the intelligence layer that powers modern commerce is built in Europe, with European standards.
Built for trust
We work with regulated businesses. That means our own house has to be in order.
Data protection built into every processing decision. DPA and Standard Contractual Clauses with every customer.
Information security programme aligned to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 principles. Encryption, access control, monitoring, response.
Designed to sit outside the high-risk classification. Transparency, human oversight and documentation as first class citizens.
EU company. EU infrastructure. EU standards. DSNTech LTD is registered in Sofia, Bulgaria (company registration 207337125), and operates as a European technology company across the EU market.
The people
Every co-founder has operated inside e-commerce, payments, product, technology or data teams. We did not theorise about customer intelligence. We built it for our own operations, then built it for everyone else's.
