Founder / CEO

Adrian Thomas

CEO

As the President of Datascan, Adrian believes the vision for the Company is, "To provide retailers with the greatest value from their inventory process. This means transforming raw inventory data into meaningful, manageable inventory information that can be used to improve how a retailer conducts its business." The collection of data that traditionally has a very short shelf-life, he says, needs now to be leveraged much more effectively to add value to a retailer's investment in the process. "Datascan is on a quest", Adrian says, "to take the value of the inventory process to a whole new level through utilizing the latest in Self-Scanning." Adrian has a long history of helping build successful businesses into leaders within their industries. With over 20 years of experience in the application of wireless and barcode data-collection technologies, he is no stranger to the challenges of the retail inventory market. Adrian and his wife have happily relocated to the Dallas area, and when not at work enjoys listening to his eclectic collection of music, adding to his wine cellar and keeping in touch with his family in the UK.

Paligo

Paligo, headquartered in Sweden and founded in 2020, is a Component Content Management System (CCMS) that enables enterprise technical writers to create, reuse, and publish structured documentation across 30-plus integration points, including Zendesk and Intercom. The company is led by CEO Rahul Yadav, who joined in December 2025 after serving as CTO at Milestone Systems (Canon Group) and Chief Technology and Digital Officer at TV2 Denmark. The original co-founders, Anas and Frank, remain involved as a board member and an engineering architect, respectively. Ownership is split roughly equally among the founder group, Stockholm-based B2B SaaS private equity firm Alvin and Rickson, and Grow Capital from Copenhagen, which led a $29M Series A in April 2023. Paligo grew from $2.2M in revenue in 2020 to $11.3M in 2024, then added another 11% to reach $12.5M in 2025. The company serves approximately 500 enterprise customers across 38 countries, with deal sizes ranging from $25K to $150K per year. As of the latest data, Paligo has 90 employees and a valuation of $37.5M. Yadav is targeting 18 to 20% ARR growth in 2026, with significantly higher ambitions for 2027 and beyond. The single most important strategic inflection point is Paligo's pivot from a structured authoring tool to what Yadav calls an AI-native structured truth platform. The company has accumulated more than 3 billion governed, semantically rich words and approximately 1.5 million reusable content components in DocBook XML, which Yadav argues is the largest such dataset in regulated industries like medtech and manufacturing. Rather than bolting AI features onto its existing product, Paligo is building end-to-end ingestion-to-consumption infrastructure designed to ground enterprise AI agents in verified structured content, a category Yadav says no competitor has yet defined.
