Pinterest is an American visual discovery platform founded in 2010 where people save and organise images, products and ideas into themed boards. Unlike feed-based social networks it is built around planning future intent, so users arrive researching a kitchen renovation, an outfit or a holiday rather than to follow friends, which makes the audience unusually valuable to advertisers. Headquartered in San Francisco and listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2019, the company earns nearly all of its revenue from advertising and has invested heavily in shoppable pins, visual search and AI-driven recommendations.

MongoDB is an American database company founded in 2007 that built a document-oriented database storing records as flexible JSON-like structures rather than fixed relational tables. Its main commercial product is Atlas, a managed service running the database across the major public clouds with search, vector search, streaming and analytics layered on top, which now supplies the majority of company revenue. Headquartered in New York and listed on Nasdaq, it acquired the embedding model company Voyage AI in 2025 to strengthen its position in retrieval for artificial intelligence applications, and its database remains among the most widely used outside the relational world.
