Early life and education

Career
In 2012, while completing his J.D. at NYU Law School, Alex Elias co-founded Qloo with Jay Alger.[2][3][4][5]
Alex wanted a system to predict and understand personal tastes without using identity-based data. This idea was created by his interest in culture and experience with data management limitations.[6][7]
Today, Alex is the CEO of Qloo, an AI company that analyzes global consumer tastes and preferences. Qloo has a large database of over 575 million notable people, places, things, and interests, along with over 10 trillion unique behavioral and sentiment signals—none of which contain any personally identifiable information.[8][9] Since its start, Qloo's technology has helped companies like Netflix, Starbucks, JCDecaux, and Michelin create personalized customer experiences and improve marketing strategies.[10]
From 2019, Alex Elias also chairs TasteDive, a discovery platform with over 7.5 million users that helps consumers find entertainment based on personal taste.[11] TasteDive allows users to discover what to watch, read, listen to, and play based on their preferences.[12][13]
Alex Elias serves on the NYU School of Law Entrepreneurship Advisory Board, contributing his expertise to guide and support entrepreneurial initiatives at the law school.[14][15]
