About us
Developing software for over 20 years
Our team started work in Silicon Valley during the internet boom in 1996 and went on to start Market Acumen, Inc. in 2003.
We have been building software solutions and serving our clients for more than 20 years.
Since
2003
Kent Davidson, CTO
Kent started his career at Apple Computer, Inc. and advanced to a VP of Engineering role at his first company he co-founded – Receipt.com – security software for banking and insurance. That original software is still in use after 30 years today under the name SecureTransport.
He applies the foundations of development and management to every project he encounters and enjoys all aspects of software development – hiring, team building, specifications, and implementations.
