Pier 88 Investment Partners, LLC is a San Francisco-based alternative asset management firm established in October 2013. We seek to provide investors with above-market returns through investments in public equities and convertible bonds. Our investment philosophy is rooted in a thorough understanding of the overall macro environment and deep fundamental research of our portfolio companies. We employ a disciplined approach to identify strategic companies where a patient investor can unlock value that is overlooked by those with shorter investment horizons. Pier 88 principals operate under the assumption that investing money for clients is a privilege —deserving of respect, dedication, and commitment to long-term partnership.

TRUSTID helps call centers cut costs, improve the customer experience, and combat phone fraud by identifying trusted callers before they ever hear "Hello."​ Rather than relying on personal information—which may be readily available to criminals—TRUSTID uses the caller’s phone as an ownership-based authentication token. It can’t be spoofed or manipulated and is entirely invisible to customers. This automatic, highly accurate pre-answer caller authentication technology quickly separates callers who should move into an expedited Trusted Caller Flow™, where you can focus on solving problems instead of interrogating your best customers. Some of the world’s largest enterprise call centers rely on TRUSTID to reduce contact center costs by 20%, outperform knowledge-based authentication by a factor of 25, and deliver a better customer experience.
