• In September 2018, Brayan stated that the company would "be dominated by the tech sector," for some time.
• Appen reported that the "US government interactions are tracking ahead of expectations and the company is likely to be one of the few specialist annotation providers with access, providing a material catalyst to the upside."

Summary of Findings

• While we were able to find some data on verticals and clients for each company, overall the data appears to be limited.
• It is highly unlikely that the number of clients by vertical can be found since none of the companies appear to disclose complete client lists
• Additionally, data on revenue may be difficult to find for non-public companies, and tech spend could be limited for all companies.
