Unlock Venture Partners Showcases Portfolio in the Metaverse

UnlockVP

Unlock Venture Partners, which recently announced Fund II, has unveiled Unlockverse – a new way to experience a venture fund portfolio… in the Metaverse. Unlock is a long-time believer that digital environments will continually progress and move towards parity with real life transforming work, play, and commerce, especially along certain vectors such as visual fidelity and user experience. Hence, it is no surprise that the fund has been following and investing in Metaverse and Web3 related companies, such as DRESSX, Irreverent Labs, Pixel Canvas and Real Simple Labs, for a few years. Venture funds have typically listed their portfolio companies with a hyperlink. When Unlock invested in Pixel Canvas and saw its browser based, photo realistic, 3D, immersive and interactive environments for enterprises, they decided to use the solution to reimagine the way their portfolio could be presented to the outside world. Unlockverse allows you to navigate around a large venture studio where each of the Unlock portfolio companies has its own space whereby a visitor can learn about it. Outer, a leading outdoor furniture brand, has a company overview presentation, videos, and pictures of its products, that one can access when one first enters its space in Unlockverse. Once inside the space, there are models of its couches where a visitor can change the swatches. Shortly, these spaces will resemble an Outer neighborhood showroom where a user can manipulate 3D models of the couches and then activate a chat function to initiate a live video interaction with an in-house salesperson. Unlock Venture Partners has a space where they envision holding live events such as AMAs and demo days. Visitors can easily teleport between spaces to specific companies to explore Unlockverse at their own pace. “This is a great way for us to provide a more tangible and immersive environment in which potential investors, partners, customers and the outside world can learn about our companies and us as a fund,” said Sanjay Reddy, Unlock’s partner based in Los Angeles. “Text is great. Images and videos are great. However, interacting with, and learning about, companies in a manner closer to the way one would in real life is what we believe the Metaverse will afford our industry, and this is an initial version of what we envision the future in this medium to be.” Pixel Canvas, an Unlock Venture Partners Fund II portfolio company based in Los Angeles, has roots in VR and digital events. The company’s solutions represent a blend of high-end visual aesthetics, gamification and user engagement focused on the enterprise. “Venture funds are just one example. There is tremendous demand among investors, businesses, and consumers for immersive virtual platform opportunities. We believe every business will eventually operate in the Metaverse.” said Andy Liu, Unlock’s partner in Seattle. “Come and visit Unlockverse and help us progress and refine new ways in which to interact with each other.” About Unlock Venture Partners: Unlock Venture Partners was co-founded by Andy Liu, Sanjay Reddy, and Raazi Imam. They have invested in more than 37 Seattle and Los Angeles-based startups including Possible Finance, Outer, Dolly, Downstream, Pixel Canvas, Fight Camp, UNest, DRESSX and Crowd Cow. Unlock is a premier early-stage fund infusing capital into two high-potential, relatively underserved markets. About Pixel Canvas: Pixel Canvas is the Enterprise Metaverse company. The company has a browser based, 3D, interactive platform that has helped major brands address the new reality of digital interactivity with a superior product. Pixel Canvas leverages a gaming background and high visual fidelity 3D design experience to offer environments in the Metaverse.

Fintech Effectiv raises $4m from Accel for fraud and risk management platform

Effectiv

Fintech startup Effectiv has today announced a $4 million seed funding round, led by Accel with participation from REV (funded by RELX) and other industry leaders. Effectiv offers a next-generation, no-code risk management platform for mid-sized banks, credit unions, fintechs and financial institutions. With cutting-edge AI and an intuitive user interface, Effectiv's solutions enable rapid adaptation to new trends and aim to significantly reduce the cost to manage fraud and risk. Banking and financial institutions have rapidly digitized all their channels, especially since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, fraudulent activity has kept pace too, with fraud losses pegged at $19b in 2020. Additionally, newer offerings like buy-now-pay-later and peer-to-peer lending have gained significant momentum, adding additional complexity to fraud and risk patterns. In this rapidly evolving world, static strategies can’t safeguard for long. Effectiv's founding team were all early team members at Simility, an enterprise fraud prevention company that was acquired by PayPal in 2018. At Simility and PayPal they had worked on building solutions for organizations like US Bank, Discover, Synchrony and millions of PayPal merchants. The team, with over four decades of combined experience building fraud and risk mitigation systems, started working on Effectiv after they realized that technologies they have been building so far were often out of reach to smaller financial institutions. “Dialogues with industry experts from banks, credit unions, combined with our team’s decades of experience in this space, helped us validate the gap that we saw in the market,” says Ravi Sandepudi, co-founder and CEO of Effectiv. “Cutting-edge technologies that drive Effectiv have so far been prohibitively expensive and were designed for and by large organizations. Effectiv aims to change that and truly democratize AI-driven risk management, making it accessible to any financial institution. Every organization, regardless of size, should have access to best in class safety measures to protect their members and customers.” Ritesh Arora, Co-founder and President at Effectiv, added: “We are building a platform that is designed from the ground up to be extremely easy to integrate and implement. Effectiv comes integrated with best in class data services and our proprietary AI decides when to optimally use (and pay for) a data signal. Our goal is to help teams manage their risk strategies without relying on developers.” “As the world is on a digitization spree, we know that challenging times are ahead for financial institutions. We see tremendous value in Effectiv’s innovative approach to fraud and risk management. Their powerful yet rapidly adaptable AI platform could be the key to identifying these changing trends. We are looking forward to working with the Effectiv team in making these world class solutions accessible to every financial institution.” says Dinesh Katiyar, Partner at Accel “We were attracted to the pedigree of Effectiv’s founding team and their decades of experience tackling fraud at some of the world’s largest organizations. As one of the earliest investors at Palantir and with an affiliation to LexisNexis, we are passionate about fraud and risk mitigation and we see Effectiv spearheading a dramatic evolution in this space.” says Kevin Brown, Founder Partner at REV. Effectiv intends to use the funds for technology development, growing the team in the US, and marketing. Effectiv onboarded its first customer in June 2021 and have already processed over $1 billion in loan volume. After a successful closed beta, the platform is now live and the team is actively onboarding new customers. The company has also brought on board industry veterans Bob Stock as an advisor and Mike Persichini as Head of Sales to kick start their growth in the US. About Effectiv Founded in 2021 by Anupam Tarsauliya, Jonathan Doering, Ravi Sandepudi and Ritesh Arora, Effectiv is a next-gen risk management SaaS platform with solutions designed for mid-sized banks, credit unions and fintechs. The founding team has over four decades of combined experience in fighting fraud and building machine learning products at companies like Google, PayPal, Samsung, WalmartLabs, and Hitachi. About Accel Accel is a global venture capital firm operating out of Silicon Valley, London, and Bangalore. Accel works with startups in seed, early, and growth-stage investments. About REV REV is a global venture capital partnership. REV is backed by one of the world’s largest content, technology and analytics companies, RELX PLC (owner of LexisNexis).

I want to thank each and every member of the Comcast team that made the Lift Zone initiatives possible within our Clubs. It means so much because of the connection they have with the Club. This relationship and this partnership are much more than a transactional experience.” "Having WiFi at the Lift Zone in the Olathe Unit is great because I can get my homework done right after school,” remarked 5 th Grade Olathe Lift Zone Club Member, Aleria H. “When my homework is completed, it allows me to have more free time when I get home.
