Companies and Their Info - Part 1 (Rows 2, 3, 4, and 5 of Columns B to J)
The companies 2Sens, 8i, Baobab, and Bayshore are providers of Virtual Reality software and technology. The majority of the companies are relatively new, founded in the past 4 years. Across the 4 companies in question, the most recent funding round was in February 2017 for 8i, to raise a total of $27 million from 8 investors. A full account of these findings can be viewed in the provided spreadsheet from row 2 to 5.
FINDINGS
Each of the specified companies has been investigated independently, the majority of the information could be found pre-compiled. In some cases, statistical information was limited. Below follows a full explanation of any additional insights or limitations to the research that could not be portrayed in the spreadsheet.
At this time, there's no identifiable CTO at 2Sens. There are two alternative employees that may be of interest: Osnat Goren-Peyser (Co-founder and VP R&D) and Oren Tropp (Head of Algorithms). The lack of a Chief Technology Officer may be attested to the fact that the company is still relatively new and funding has only recently been acquired.
The current CEO of 8i, Steven Raymond previously worked as 8i's "President of Studios". Moreover, it may be of note that 8i's CTO Eugene d'Eon is also the Co-founder of the company.
This company was found to be most commonly referred to as "Baobab Studios". After a search through various resources, this company could be identified as the intended focus due to their roots in Virtual Reality as supposed to other companies named Baobab based in e-commerce.
Similarly to the previous company, the company name Bayshore yields multiple results. These companies range from healthcare providers to real estate or otherwise; it could be easily determined that "Bayshore Solutions" are the appropriate company to focus research on as the only company with a Virtual Reality presence.
Currently, Bayshore Solutions do not have a Chief Technology Officer. There are many developers present at the company and a Director of IT (Jason Dorsett) and the most superior employee of note is the Chief Financial Officer (Michael Sapp).
There are no publicly available records of funding rounds for Bayshore Solutions. As a long-standing company, it may be that they have not required any funding rounds.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, a variety of information has been collected on the 4 companies 2sens, 8i, Baobab, and Bayshore. The majority of this information could be found through reliable and up-to-date resources such as LinkedIn and Crunchbase. As per your request, these insights have been compiled into the attached spreadsheet.
