Futuri CEO and co-founder Daniel Anstandig, 37, has been named to Crain’s Cleveland 40 Under Forty 2020 List. Per Crain’s, “Crain’s 40 Under Forty honorees are, in a word, leaders. They are making a difference in their companies and their communities. Chosen by our editorial team to represent a range of businesses and backgrounds, these 40 are committed to the future of Northeast Ohio. They range from professionals to entrepreneurs to community servants. And in a year that has been like no other with the COVID-19 pandemic, many have stepped up in immeasurable ways. All of the honorees are under 40, which means they are just beginning to make an impact in the region. Their future — and, in turn, the region’s — is bright.”

A brief excerpt from Anstandig’s profile notes:

In 2009, the Beachwood native staked out on his own with Futuri Media, creating artificial intelligence-powered audience engagement and sales intelligence software for a burgeoning portfolio of media organizations. Among Futuri’s products is TopicPulse, a content system that harnesses artificial intelligence to identify what stories specific audiences are reacting to in real time.

“That’s going to impact the type of media you create, or what you’ll promote over the next day,” Anstandig said. “Our system is used by thousands of broadcasters all over the world.”
