Casa Shares Raises $1.5M in Pre-Seed Funding to Democratize Real Estate Investing for Future Generations

REXBURG, Idaho, April 23, 2024Casa Shares, an SEC qualified real estate investing platform making real estate available to everyone starting at just $100, has raised $1.5 million in funding at a $10 million valuation.

Founded by former Oracle employee Mirza Beg and real estate developer McKay Francis, Casa Shares simplifies the investment process, enabling users to acquire shares in prime income properties within minutes. Beyond providing a platform, Casa Shares takes the helm in managing properties, offering investors the chance to earn passive income and benefit from property appreciation, all while sidestepping the typical hurdles of real estate investment.

Casa Shares debuts amid a booming market—projected to surge from $10.7 billion in 2024 to $300.7 billion by 2032, with a staggering 44.9% CAGR (DataHorizzon Research)—this rapid expansion is propelled by a societal shift towards convenience, diversified assets, and location freedom.

Mirza Beg, CEO and co-founder, highlights a significant problem: the exclusion of younger generations from real estate wealth-building due to skyrocketing property prices. Casa Shares aims to dismantle these barriers, offering an inclusive investment experience that is both accessible and engaging for all.

The quest for stable, inflation-resistant investment options has become more pronounced in the face of recent fluctuations in the crypto and equity markets. Real estate stands out as a coveted alternative, yet high entry costs remain a significant deterrent for many, especially first-time investors.

Casa Shares is dedicated to democratizing real estate investment, making it feasible for millions without the requisite funds, time, or knowledge to venture into property investment independently.

To date, Casa Shares has released their first offering, The Lorene, a premium condominium in Rexburg, Idaho—a fast growing college town and home to Brigham Young University – Idaho. Looking ahead, the company is set to broaden its portfolio with diverse properties and locations and is also developing an iOS app to refine the investment experience.

The round was raised by a group of private investors with a shared vision for ensuring an inclusive real estate investing ecosystem exists for future generations.

Industrial software company secures $12 million Series A funding round led by Standard Investments

PORTLAND, Maine, April 23, 2024HighByte®, an industrial software company, today announced its Series A funding round led by Standard Investments, a platform investing in innovative growth companies at the intersection of the digital and physical worlds. Standard Investments is leading the round with participation from existing HighByte investors, including Exposition Ventures, Maine Venture Fund, and outstanding convertible note holders. New funds will be primarily allocated across research and development, strategic partner management, and customer success to accelerate market penetration and expand deployments within existing accounts.

“HighByte’s unique Industrial DataOps platform enables data collection, analysis, and applications that can dramatically improve physical industrial operations,” said Ben Sampson, Managing Director of Standard Investments, who will join the HighByte Board of Directors. “At Standard Investments, we’re focused on investing in companies that leverage technology to shape the industrial world and we’re excited to partner with HighByte in its next stage of growth.”

DataOps is the orchestration of people, processes, and technology to securely deliver trusted, ready-to-use data to all the systems and people who require it. As top-performing manufacturers and other industrial companies gather increasing amounts of data from their operations, Industrial DataOps has become an essential approach for using that data to improve efficiency, increase security, and reduce costs throughout the company and its supply chain. According to Gartner®, DataOps is a $3 billion emerging technology market driven by a significant demand among data and analytics leaders to address their growing data infrastructure complexity.

HighByte has developed a unique Industrial DataOps software solution, HighByte Intelligence Hub, that enables manufacturers to merge, prepare, and deliver modeled industrial data to and from IT systems without writing or maintaining code. Curating and contextualizing data at the edge is foundational to the success of advanced analytics and adoption of large language models in manufacturing. First released in 2020, HighByte Intelligence Hub has now been deployed in 18 countries by more than 60 industrial companies with multi-plant facilities.

“In 2023, we tripled ARR for the third consecutive year and proved product-market fit across a wide variety of vertical markets,” said HighByte CEO Tony Paine. “Building off that success, we plan to further invest in the business to support growing customer demand, expand our global partnerships, and recruit additional talent to remain innovative, agile, and responsive to market requirements. This investment validates our mission and will be essential for the next stage of our growth.” 

HighByte was established in 2018 by a founding team with more than 50 years of deep domain experience in industrial data as alumni of Kepware, including Tony Paine who served as CEO of Kepware from 2009 to 2016 and led the sale of Kepware to PTC in 2016. As of the date of this release, HighByte has raised a total of $16.5M in equity funding.

Pomelo Announces $35M Series A, Additional $75M Warehouse, Expanding Its Credit-Building Remittance Product

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22, 2024 — Pomelo, the first consumer fintech to enable international money movement with consumer credit, announced a Series A of $35 million in venture capital and a $75m expansion of its warehouse facility from Vy Capital, Founders Fund, and A* Capital. This brings total funds raised to date to $55m in equity capital and $125m for its warehouse facility.

This round of funding follows Pomelo’s inclusion in Notable Capital’s Innovation 50 List for 2024, described as “highlighting the 50 most promising fintech companies in the eyes of investors.” This accolade recognizes Pomelo for advancing a $650b global remittance industry by empowering customers to build credit with their remittance funds and obligations for the first time.

Keith Rabois, an early investor and board member, recognized that Pomelo’s novel product experience had the potential to deliver enhanced value to an underserved market.

“Pomelo stands out through a fundamentally different approach to remittance transfer by using credit as its foundation,” said Rabois. “The product unlocks value beyond facilitating cross border money movement; it’s ultimately a pathway to establishing better financial futures for customers and their families.”

Pomelo launched in 2022 with the Philippines as its first corridor and has since added new payment options that enhance the product experience for its customers. Most notably, Pomelo recently launched the ability to send funds to GCash, the most popular e-wallet in the Philippines.

According to a recent article by STL Partners, 67% of Filipinos use GCash. By allowing customers to send directly to GCash through the app, Pomelo lets customers’ loved ones easily access remitted funds in a form widely accepted by Filipino consumers and businesses, while also providing US-based users the unique option to pay later and build credit history.

GCash is the newest in a set of payout instruments that complement Pomelo’s eponymous card product that has positively impacted the lives of customers and their families. For example, given that many emerging markets do not have a robust healthcare system, being able to show proof of payment for treatment is critical.

“Pomelo has been a lifeline for me and my family. The worst call to get is when it’s 3 AM in California,” said Danette Flores, a nurse who sends money to two family members in the Philippines with Pomelo. “My mom had suffered a heart attack, and she needed to be transferred to the ICU, but the hospital required proof of payment for that. My brother used his Pomelo Card to get her admitted.”

“Stories like Danette’s show that there’s a human story behind every transfer,” said Eric Velasquez Frenkiel, founder and CEO of Pomelo. “Our mission is to connect families in profoundly important ways and this latest funding round will allow us to continue to innovate and help more customers and their loved ones around the world.”

About Pomelo

Pomelo is the first financial technology platform that combines international money movement and consumer credit and offers a remittance product that enables customers to send funds immediately with either a secured or unsecured credit line. Founded in 2020, Pomelo is headquartered in San Francisco, CA.

Banking Services provided by Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC. The Pomelo Card is issued by Coastal Community Bank pursuant to licensing by Mastercard International.

“Givebutter has built an incredible product, team, and community which we are excited to help supercharge in the years to come,” said Brian Cramer, BVP Forge Operating Partner. “They’re already on a roll and it’s only going to get butter from here.”

Additional plans to increase investment in Givebutter’s community of changemakers are already underway. These plans include both new and existing customer-focused initiatives, such as expanding Givebutter’s award-winning, free customer service to be available 24/7 and growing the impact of Givebutter Gives Back, the company’s philanthropic initiative for elevating and directly supporting nonprofits on the platform.

“It’s incredible to see the impact our technology has had on so many organizations and the impact those organizations have had on the world. Our team is energized, and we’re only getting started,” said Liran Cohen, co-founder and CTO of Givebutter.

Appoints New CEO to Take Company Through Next Phase of Growth

DUARTE, Calif., April 22, 2024AccessHope, LLC, a company changing the way leading-edge cancer expertise is delivered, today announced that it has raised $33 million in a Series B round of funding from City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States. AccessHope’s next phase of growth as a stand-alone company will include product and technology development, oncology network expansion and entering new markets, such as health plans, Medicare and government organizations.

To lead its transformation into a commercial business, AccessHope appointed seasoned healthcare, payer and investment veteran Bradley Kreick as its new CEO. Kreick, who has served on the AccessHope board since 2023, brings 30 years of experience leading companies through periods of significant growth.

“AccessHope was founded with the mission of bringing cutting-edge cancer care knowledge to the places and people who need it most. Today, we are proud to serve nearly seven million members through more than 400 employers, including over 60 Fortune 500 companies and two of the nation’s largest health plans,” said Harlan Levine, M.D., chair of the AccessHope board and president, Health Innovation and Policy at City of Hope. “As demand for personalized cancer care benefits offered by AccessHope continues to grow, it is an ideal time for City of Hope to provide strategic funding and the autonomy for it to operate as a stand-alone company. This move will enable AccessHope to accelerate innovation and expand into new markets and regions, while continuing to extend access to the best cancer treatment expertise regardless of who you are and where you live.”

AccessHope has experienced double-digit growth every year since its founding. Underpinning this success is its collaboration with foundational partners, which include many of the country’s most elite National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers. In this first-of-its-kind approach, AccessHope has joined forces with these NCI Centers to mobilize the latest cancer insights to support local oncologists in developing precise treatment plans for their patients. 

AccessHope’s foundational partners currently include founder City of Hope, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Emory Healthcare and Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, Fred Hutch Cancer Center, Johns Hopkins Medicine and the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, and Northwestern Medicine and the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University. Through these collaborations, AccessHope members now have access to expertise from more than 350 of the world’s top oncologists, covering all cancer types and stages.

A Leadership Team for Future Growth
With the addition of Kreick as CEO, AccessHope is building a dynamic team positioned to take the company to the next level of growth as a commercial business. Mark Stadler, a veteran employee benefits and healthcare executive who led AccessHope through its momentous growth as CEO since 2020, will assume the role of Chief Growth Officer. In this new role, Stadler will focus on expanding cancer care benefits through health plans, Medicare and government markets.

Kreick most recently served as CEO of SolutionHealth, an integrated regional health system formed in 2018 by the combination of the Elliot Health System and Southern New Hampshire Health System. He also was a co-investor with The Blackstone Group as part of its 2008 acquisition of then publicly traded Apria Healthcare Inc., the nation’s largest home care provider. At Apria, he was executive vice president, Payor Arrangements and Pricing for four years. Earlier in his career, Kreick served as executive vice president, Business Development for Oxford Health Plans Inc. (acquired by UnitedHealth Group in 2004) following Texas Pacific Group’s private equity investment in the company.
