Issuer Pixel Launches B2B Video Sharing and Networking Platform

Issuer Pixel

MIAMI - Issuer Pixel, a new video-centric B2B sharing and networking platform built on patented technology, took a major leap forward today by officially launching its video and audio 1-Click sharing features. With today's launch, companies of all sizes can now join the Issuer Pixel platform and begin providing their content publicly, gaining exposure to partners, customers, suppliers, suitors, investors and media worldwide. "On behalf of the entire Issuer Pixel team, I am thrilled to announce this significant milestone in our company's growth," said Issuer Pixel CEO David N. Baker. "This is a major step for our company and our investors. More importantly, going live means our corporate customers can begin taking advantage of our platform and seeing the benefits immediately." The announcement comes on the heels of other key events for the company, which earlier this year received official patent approval for its first patent, from the U.S. Patent Trademark Office. "We already have one patent approved, two patents pending, and five more being prepared to be filed," Baker said. "We believe building a strong patent portfolio will provide us with a defensible position in the market place and add tremendous value to Issuer Pixel." Even though most companies do not have a structure to organize their external facing video and audio content, including Fortune 500 companies, the demand for such structure to organize their content has skyrocketed in recent years. Issuer Pixel was created to fulfill that growing demand, while also providing companies a platform to efficiently find video/audio content by industry, sector, or granular product/service level for the first time.

JustiFi, The Embedded Fintech Platform for Platforms, Raises $6.6M Led by Emergence Capital and Rally Ventures

Rally Ventures

JustiFi, the intelligent fintech orchestration platform for platforms, today announced its $6.6 million seed round. JustiFi provides vertical SaaS platforms with a full suite of embedded fintech tools that can be deployed to their current customer base. As vertical SaaS platforms increasingly become the system of record in their industry, customers look to them for expanded capabilities, including payment and banking tools. Unfortunately most vertical SaaS platforms do not have the in-house expertise or engineering bandwidth to develop a fully embedded fintech suite of tools, and they typically end up deploying an amalgamation of integrations that are not optimized for customer happiness or maximum revenue. When a vertical SaaS platform partners with JustiFi, they instantly have a fully integrated and white labeled suite of payment acceptance tools, multi-payment type intelligent orchestration tools, white label insurance capabilities, lending capabilities, card issuing, treasury management and more. These tools are optimized for lowest possible cost, resulting in highest possible revenue and profit. As the global internet economy reached upwards of $6.49 trillion in 2020, businesses paid more than $195B in payment processing fees alone. Using AI, JustiFi’s decision engine analyzes every transaction to dynamically optimize and reduce payment fees to the lowest possible effective rate at the interchange level. Over time, JustiFi becomes smarter by applying its learnings, thus continuing to increase the profitability of the business. The round was co-led by Emergence Capital, the early investor in Zoom, Bill.com, Veeva, Salesforce and other industry-leading enterprise companies, and Rally Ventures, early investors in Braze, Carbon Black, Coupa and SportsEngine. The new financing will be used to scale the team and continue to build out the product. “JustiFi was created to democratize fintech and accelerate the revenue potential of SaaS platforms,” said Joe Floyd, general partner at Emergence Capital. "JustiFi was built by vertical SaaS veterans who won at the payments game before. Now, they're commercializing all of the industry leading insights, data, tools and technology they've developed over the last 15 years, so other platforms can win as well." “Fintech is complex and payment teams are expensive and hard to secure, especially with other priorities like customer acquisition and new product features fighting for resources," said Joe Keeley, co-founder and CEO of JustiFi and founder and former CEO of CNST (acquired by Bright Horizons, NYSE:BFAM). "JustiFi's payment team and platform tools enable platforms to integrate fintech strategies early in their build without having to hire huge teams to support them." “To put it bluntly, we know that nearly every business in the world pays too much in payment processing fees. Those high fees are especially painful to vertical SaaS platforms, where gross margin is materially impacted by each basis point,” said Justin Kaufenberg, managing director at Rally Ventures and co-founder and former CEO of SportsEngine, a vertical SaaS platform that processed multiple billions per year in payments. “Offering payments is table stakes. Vertical SaaS platforms should not settle for anything less than a fully integrated, fully white label, comprehensive fintech stack that includes a native orchestration layer and transaction level cost optimization.” About JustiFi JustiFi is the embedded fintech platform built for vertical SaaS platforms. The company’s ​AI and machine-learning engine manages and optimizes payment transactions to help platforms reduce fees and maximize profits. JustiFi leverages 50+ years of industry experience and expertise to add value for customers by generating payments revenue, saving money, ensuring compliance and turning payment processing into a strategic advantage.

Its mission is to be the most important partner to the companies that are changing the way the world works. The firm's investments' current market capitalization is over $400B and includes companies such as Zoom (ZM), Veeva Systems (VEEV), Box (BOX), Bill.com (BILL), Doximity (DOCS), Blend (BLND), SuccessFactors (SFSF, acquired by SAP), Yammer (acquired by Microsoft) and ServiceMax (acquired by GE).

CoorsTek Plant in South Korea Earns Top Chemical Safety Award

CoorsTek

The CoorsTek plant in Gumi, South Korea was recently presented with an award from the National Institute of Chemical Safety (NICS) in recognition of the facility’s exceptional safety protocols and best-in class chemical accident prevention plan. CoorsTek, a leading manufacturer of technical ceramics, operates more than 30 manufacturing facilities across three continents. At its Gumi, South Korea plant, which provides a variety of high-performance ceramics engineered specifically for semiconductor processing applications (including PureSiC silicon carbides and PlasmaPure aluminas), a wide range of hazardous materials are used. Due to the extensive use of these materials, the plant is subject to regular inspections to review safety procedures and chemical spill prevention plans. Gumi employees passed last summer’s chemical safety inspection with marks so high that representatives from the NICS asked them to share best practices at a conference in November. CoorsTek team members accepted the offer and used the opportunity to showcase the plant’s comprehensive accident prevention program. The Gumi facility has grown in serving partners since 2000, including a recent expansion to support semiconductor and electronics industry growth as well as many additional customers in the region. CoorsTek was among 12 organizations that were highlighted at the event, but one of only five to receive the Director’s Award for Chemical Safety. CoorsTek was in excellent company; the other four winning organizations were Sam-Yang, SK Materials, Hyundai Motor, and Samsung. According to plant manager BW Han, the Gumi team delivered outstanding results thanks to the steps they have taken to prevent the leakage of hazardous chemicals into nearby bodies of water. “We established a mobile-based wireless network to keep materials from flowing into the rivers here, and developed strong evacuation plans to keep workers and local residents safe if we are faced with an emergency,” he said. CoorsTek Vice President of Environmental Health, Safety, Sustainability, and Security Scott Dolan congratulated the team and expressed pride in their accomplishment. “CoorsTek is committed to being a safe, environmentally friendly and socially responsible company,” he said. “Our EHS teams worldwide take this responsibility seriously. We’re proud of the great work they’re doing in Gumi and pleased with the steps they are taking to create a safe environment.” About The National Institute of Chemical Safety The National Institute of Chemical Safety falls within the South Korean Ministry of Environment, which is the branch of government charged with environmental protection. This agency manages the country’s chemical safety accident prevention system and oversees the accident response program; professional education; and international coordination. About CoorsTek CoorsTek is a privately-held leading global supplier of technical ceramics, serving a wide array of industries and markets – with the vision of making the world measurably better. The company is headquartered in Golden, Colorado, with approximately 5,000 employees worldwide. CoorsTek continues to make significant investments in developing advanced materials and processes for critical applications and is the partner of choice for companies worldwide, whose success requires the unique, high-performance properties of products manufactured from engineered ceramics and advanced materials. The company is committed to delivering outstanding value through operational excellence, research, development, and manufacturing capabilities and collaborative stakeholder relationships.

Instant Grocery Startup VOLY raises one of the largest seed rounds in Australia at $18m

VOLY

Australia's first instant online grocery supermarket, VOLY, has raised AU$18M in one of the nation’s largest ever seed rounds led by Sequoia Capital India, with increased backing from Global Founders Capital (GFC) and Australian-based Artesian Capital. This funding round will enable VOLY to continue to scale, expand the team, rapidly increase operations across key urban centres and start the national rollout. Following its launch in July 2021, VOLY has been preparing to take on the rapid food delivery market by delivering groceries to customers at incredible speed. It aims to make ordering groceries as easy and engaging as browsing Instagram and get them to you faster than you could do a trip to the supermarket yourself. Employing its own riders, delivery centre and store staff, VOLY does away with the need for customers to spend time in physical retail environments by giving people the power to order and receive their groceries in minutes. With a delivery promise of 15 minutes or less; VOLY is set to disrupt the +$122bn local grocery industry. Mark Heath, Co-CEO and Co-founder of VOLY, said: “VOLY is here to completely change the way people shop for groceries by giving Australians back their most precious resource, time. Our model, from a fully employed delivery and dispatch team to the way we use electric bikes to deliver, is designed around the way people live. We firmly believe that our customers have a better experience when our riders and other staff are part of the company, working with us.” VOLY retails most key household products available at any major supermarket - from fresh produce to baby formula and cleaning products - everything you could possibly need, available online seven days a week from 8am-10pm. The winning recipe is instant and free delivery, together with the best quality fresh produce; all sold at retail prices. “We’re doing away with the need to do a weekly grocery shop by providing convenience alongside reliability in a market that offers some of the slowest delivery times in the world. By owning our own supply chain, VOLY delivers at blazing fast speed without compromising on price, quality or availability. We source directly from suppliers, store in our own micro-fulfilment centres and deliver using fully employed and mostly full-time staff. VOLY is the supermarket of the future that is built around our customers, not the other way around,” said Thibault Henry, Co-CEO and Co-Founder. The seed funding announcement sets a new record for a food delivery company in Australia with support from Sequoia Capital India, a renowned venture capital firm. The interest in VOLY follows a new wave of investment in Aussie startups seen as world-class tech companies with potential to scale globally. "Australia's grocery market, which sees $90B in annual spends, is a large and profitable space that continues to be dominated by offline retail. The Sequoia Capital India team was impressed by the strong consumer love for VOLY, their compelling value proposition, and an impressive team of repeat founders that has blitzscaled businesses in Australia before. With on-demand models traditionally scaling very successfully in the country, the decision to lead their seed round and help them scale their business across Australia was an easy one to make," said Abheek Anand, Managing Director, Sequoia India. VOLY was co-founded by Mark Heath and Thibault Henry, who are also co-CEOs of the company and have experience working with on-demand technology brands across the food supply and logistics industries. Mark Heath helped launch Uber in Australia after a career at Goldman Sachs and Thibault Henry built, scaled and sold Balto which was a B2B last-mile business with clients such as HelloFresh, Marley Spoon and YouFoodz. VOLY’s management team includes Chief Technology Officer, Anthony Rey, Head of Procurement Lyana Labrode and Head of Marketing, Josh Peacock. VOLY has been an early hit with customers flocking to the app, spiking a rise of new users and incredibly strong week-on-week growth in sales. While currently available in Sydney across 42 suburbs - VOLY has plans to rapidly expand its offering from January 2022 to reach millions more Australians around the country in the coming months and year ahead. The VOLY application is available on both iOS and Android and at https://www.getvoly.com/ Ends Additional media images can be found here.

It has fueled a considerable rise in users and has seen the company’s valuation more than double in the time since. Jason Jaramillo, Founder of StatHero: “ This Series A round is so special to me because our original investors made it a priority to double up on their investment of StatHero. 2022 is going to be very big for us.” StatHero’s combination of next generation technology, skill-based games and low barrier of entry is disrupting the gaming space and enabling players to dive deeper into games while claiming a well over 50% winning percentage. As the company focuses on the future, a Series B round of funding is on the horizon for next spring.
