Decentralized exchange Capricorn launches IFO platform Greenhouse, with inaugural offering from lending protocol Zenith.Finance

Capricorn

Capricorn, the core DEX protocol built on Cube Network, today announced the launch of its new Initial Farm Offering (IFO) platform, Greenhouse. As part of its launch, the platform will host a US$100,000 IFO for Zenith.Finance, the leading lending protocol incubated by Gringotts Labs, at 06:00 (UTC) on July 1. Capricorn users will be able to subscribe from a pool of 500,000 ZNT tokens on the newly launched IFO section of the Capricorn platform. At 0.15 CUBE/ZNT, the offering is valued at US$100,000. Enabling retail access to Initial Farm Offerings Greenhouse is designed to enable retail investors to participate in IFOs. The platform introduces an “Over-allotment Pool” function to meet the investment needs for investors on Capricorn. During an IFO, when the target number of IFO tokens for sale is met, there will still be 20% of the target number tokens offered for sale as “Over-allotment Shares”. After the offering, “Over-allotment Shares” will form an “Over-allotment Pool”, consisting of both tokens raised in the IFO and project tokens. When the price of the project token rises by more than 50% of the fundraising price, users can manually trigger a sell order, and when the price falls by more than 20%, users can manually trigger a buy order. The platform is also designed to reward loyal Capricorn users. Simply by pledging CORN tokens, Capricorn users can participate in Greenhouse IFOs and buy tokens of promising projects, maximizing capital efficiency and providing access to new investment opportunities. During the funding period, Capricorn users can buy tokens or withdraw their funds at any time, albeit with certain fees. Start-ups launching IFOs on Greenhouse can benefit from an expedited review process.

Penetration of global capital into emerging market private debt is minimal and liquidity is non-existent. MoHash is providing access to global capital and liquidity to debt issued by non-bank lenders using DeFi as a tool. Crypto already has close to $150B balances in stablecoin earning high risk, unsustainable and crypto correlated yields thus providing the intersection for MoHash to unlock value as it announces a $6M seed funding round today.

We’ve loved working with them over the past few months and Sequoia Capital India is thrilled to co-lead this financing.” While Ganesh Rengaswamy, co-founder and managing partner at Quona added: “MoHash’s DeFi protocol has been built for efficient liquidity provisioning across emerging markets at scale, which is very exciting to us at Quona.

Talent Platform startup Supersourcing secures seed round to end the $1.3 trillion talent war for developers

Supersourcing

The talent war for developers and engineers has been raging for many years and is set to be worth over $1.3 trillion next year, but little has been done to resolve this business and talent challenge. In addressing this pressing concern Supersourcing, the world’s biggest talent marketplace for hiring remote engineers, has today raised $500,000 in a seed funding round to help early-stage startups and enterprises to employ the best remote engineering talent. Founded in February 2021 by Aditi Chaurasaia and Mayank Pratap, SuperSourcing is helping companies to discover engineering talent and to help retain it. They found the biggest challenges that prevent companies from hiring remote engineers centre on: credibility and quality of the the engineer is difficult to know and the cultural fit with company values. Supersourcing uses a community approach, connecting the benchpool of global talent provider companies with customers looking for engineers. To do this, it hosts a variety of SaaS tools for hiring, vetting, managing productivity and billing. Supersourcing also organises training and learning sessions for talent providers to grow their business and improve their quality of delivery. With over a decade of experience in IT, Mayank and Aditi started to develop the processes and technology to solve the problems. Having tested and piloted them with leading IT recruitment agencies, they focused on credibility of candidates and the pool of candidates to put forward for briefs. They created an AI-enabled platform for robust screening processes and Supersourcing was born. "If you ask any CIO or startup founder about their biggest challenge in building a successful startup, the answer will be hiring. The demand for remote talent surged during the pandemic. Every founder I talked to faced problems finding and managing the qualified remote engineers. This was the ultimate talent war and I have set out to solve this” said Mayank Pratap, the Co-Founder and CEO of Supersourcing. “Today, remote hiring of top remote engineers is just a few clicks away. All you have to do is post your requirement and our AI will connect you to the best-suited talent. Recruiters can engage them directly and start hiring in minutes. Supersourcing does all the heavy lifting doing the rigorous quality checks, indexing the agencies and candidate skills on the databases before recommendations are made for relevant projects that recruiters need resourcing for". Supersourcing is growing revenues 20% month on month and has $3M ARR. They have a talent pool of over 15,000 engineers and more than 3,000 talent partner companies to solve the global IT talent outsourcing problem. Supersourcing has helped 28 Unicorns, 32 YC-funded companies, 70+ Global VC fund portfolio companies, and over 500 customers to hire the best remote tech talent. These companies include: Uber, Gusto, Quora, Zoom, NextDoor, Instacart, Asana, Meta, Brex, Amazon, Google, Stripe, Dunzo, Swiggy, Khatabook, Stage, Appointy, Sequoia Capital among others. Supersourcing will use the funds to expand and scale operations to ultimately capture their market share and build a strong brand presence. "Every new round of funding is proof that we are heading in the right direction. The entire team at Supersourcing is super excited to gain mentorship from brilliant investors across the board. But, the problem we are solving is huge and there is a long way to go." said Aditi Chaurasia, the Co-Founder and COO of Supersoucing. The funding round included participation from KubeVC, Nitin Sethi (Chief Digital Officer, Founding Leader of Adani Digital Labs), Rajesh Gaur; (Head of Investment Solutions, Zoe Financial) Saurabh Gupta ( Senior Program Manager, Stripe), Arpit Bung (Technical lead, Guidewire) Sandeep Acharya ( Senior Manager IT Applications, Pidilite Industries Limited), Jaykumar Raithatha (Solution Architect, Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) Phani Priya Raju (Angel investor, HeadStart Network - LetsVenture) Sapan Singhai (Business Analyst, Infosys USA), Nikhil Sharma ( Principal Consultant, Capco). About Supersourcing With 9+ years of experience in the IT industry, we’ve identified a pain point that is caused by being unable to successfully outsource. The entire industry is affected by a lack of credibility. Supersourcing is built both for early-stage startups and enterprises looking for high-quality remote engineers to work on their projects. 7 out of 10 startups say that recruitment is their biggest challenge. Supersourcing leverages cutting-edge technology and a global network to turn the century-old paradigm upside-down. Welcome to the future of outsourcing.

Growth in the Customer Insights & Feedback Market Is Being Fueled by Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence Adoption, According to Dash Research

Dash Network

The technologies that enable customer experience (CX), such as customer relationship management (CRM), customer data and analytics, personalization & optimization, contact center solutions, and employee experience (EX) solutions, are all integral to companies aspiring to build strong CX programs. However, according to a new report from Dash Research, it is the use of customer insights & feedback technologies that provides the ignition for all of these solutions. These tools provide the direct link between not only customer and company, but also employee. The flow of customer information, both directly asked for and gathered through indirect sources, is critical to the success of CX. Dash Research forecasts that the global market for customer insights & feedback software and services will grow from $5.4 billion in 2021 to nearly $8.0 billion by 2026, an increase of 48%. The CX market intelligence firm anticipates that insights & feedback platforms will represent 55% of the revenue mix during the forecast period, with services constituting 25% and applications composing 20% of the total. “Customer insights & feedback has long evolved past simple surveys and outreach,” says senior analyst Sherril Hanson. “There has been an explosion in customer data type and channel options and vendors have responded by offering a wide range of comprehensive solutions to support not just engaging and easy to set up data collection, but also sophisticated data analytics, insight generation, relevant dashboards, and tools to enable those insights to turn into action.” Hanson adds that at times, this platform evolution is at odds with the widely varying levels of CX maturity in the industry, with some companies lacking the operational processes or company-wide culture to take their CX program to the next level. Consumer sentiment toward feedback is likewise evolving with high expectations placed upon companies to provide timely and empathic responses. Customers want the opportunity to be heard and acknowledged, but on their own terms and via their own channel choice. They also want action taken quickly and in a focused, personalized manner. Dash Research’s analysis finds that the key market drivers spurring the purchase of customer insights & feedback software and services include the following: The move to digital has created an enormous number of channels and sources for feedback. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies allow for the streamlining of analysis, more successful leveraging of unstructured data, and the development of more novel collection methods. Consumer expectations for quick response are spurring strong interest in technologies that enable insights to action/closing the feedback loop. Insight and feedback technologies provide the needed link between EX and CX. A high need exists to better prioritize initiatives and identify churn risk. However, there are many barriers for organizations when attempting to deploy customer insights & feedback solutions, many of which are internal and operational. The key barriers tempering the growth of customer insights & feedback include the following: Lack of CX maturity in organizations. Too much outreach can alienate end users. Inability to move beyond collection and metrics. Internal technologies and priorities lead to data silos hindering information flow. Dash Research’s report, “Customer Insights & Feedback”, focuses on the customer insights & feedback software platforms, applications, and services that are offered to help companies achieve excellent CX. These solutions are an integral part of a customer’s experience and, if done correctly, will be a positive engagement, resulting in less churn, deeper loyalty, and the potential for customers to turn into promoters. From a company viewpoint, successful deployments can boost CX metrics, which are often then linked to an improved return on investment (ROI). Further, these technologies help companies prioritize and focus on the actions that will cause the greatest positive effect and identify other internal points of friction that affect EX. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firm’s website. Dash Research, the market intelligence arm of Dash Network, provides in-depth research and insights on the worldwide CX market including a comprehensive assessment of technology solutions, business issues, market drivers, and end-user dynamics across industry sectors. Dash Research’s global market coverage combines qualitative and quantitative research methodologies to provide a complete view of emerging business opportunities surrounding contact center technologies, customer data & analytics, customer data platforms, customer insights & feedback, customer relationship management, personalization & optimization, and employee experience.

Chainers is a crypto metaverse that is radically changing every concept we know about the metaverse. Instead of a group of developers creating an immersive experience where users are only participants, Chainers allows players to build a world of NFTs. It is fast becoming the home of Web3 creators as it allows players to have fun with Web3 friends while also granting the ability to create/build and earn. Chainers.io is a community-oriented development that tracks the journey of a group of alien creatures. The backdrop details the lives of these interstellar creatures who lived in a perfect world but were full of boredom. To escape this endless circle of perfection, the Chainers built a rocket ship with which they escaped into our galaxy. Their mission is simple: to create, socialise, play, and have fun. The Chainers’ project thrives on this principle comprising SOCIALISE - PLAY - CREATE! All player assets in the game are presented as NFTs, giving them intrinsic value. This way, each NFT collectible is tied to a particular user and recorded immutably on the blockchain. The project’s competition-based in-game economy means players get to earn in-game currencies by completing multiple tasks on the Chainers platform. About the Game The Chainers is a multiplayer-oriented game, which means it thrives on community. This means there are community-owned in-game spaces as well as private ones. This also points to a collaborative platform that allows users to air their views as well as decide the future of the whole universe. The Chainers game will be played in the following format: How to Play The Chainer will kickstart the game from his degen flat with his phone and bed, with no obvious furniture. To increase your wealth and have fun, you will need to farm the in-game currency in order to craft furniture to create your ideal Web3 house. Chainers will be able to farm in-game currency through a variety of ways, including games, staking, and social interactions. The in-game currency will be useful in creating items, templates, and making purchases. Also, a few of the items can be used to unlock new gameplay. Earned currency will be used for gameplay and customisation. Other likely gameplay will see Chainers use some of the items to change the visual appearance of chainers, fiat, and player generated NFT game content. In addition to the aforementioned: All items will be created by players enabling a truly diverse collection The community can create templates for customisable items - from outfit to building Templates can be designed by and voted for by the community, and implemented by devs into the games Creators receive royalties thereby earning passive income on their works Created items on Chainers are used for specific needs and places (their flat, their hub space) Players can trade their assets on the secondary market.
