Investment Paves Way for Salmon Farm to Expand in Upstate New York

AUBURN, N.Y., Sept. 27, 2023 — LocalCoho, a land-based aquaculture start-up that raises premium Coho salmon at an indoor farm, has secured significant new funding from Cuna del Mar. The impact investment fund invests in leading-edge aquaculture businesses with the potential to create positive disruption in the seafood industry and produce a sustainable and diverse supply of healthy, wholesome fish.

“We were impressed by the LocalCoho business plan, management team, and their approach to building supply of a great tasting fish close to market,” said Robert Orr, Managing Director of Cuna del Mar. “The intent of our investment is to enable them to properly prepare for full scale up and commercialization.”

LocalCoho grows Coho salmon indoors from egg to harvest using Recirculated Aquaculture Systems (RAS) technology. This emerging technology aims to optimize resource use and minimize impact on the local environment and wildlife and allows farms to be sited in areas local to the customers they serve.

The multi-million-dollar investment will allow LocalCoho to prepare for expansion of its pilot facility in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York and start mapping a plan for growth in other regions of the U.S., with a farm eyed for the Midwest. Its fish are already on the menus of Nobu in New York and Morimoto in Philadelphia.

“Cuna del Mar is a pioneer in supporting aquaculture companies helping to preserve the health of our oceans by using innovative approaches to growing fish. Their investment provides capital to advance our vision allowing us to get one step closer to expansion,” says LocalCoho CEO Michael Fabbro. “That such an industry leader vetted us thoroughly and believes in our strategy and team truly validates what we are doing.”

This is the second major investment for LocalCoho in the past year. The privately held company received significant funding in November 2022 from seafood industry veteran Rodger May of Peter Pan Seafood to increase harvest capacity and continue to improve husbandry practices. The company also received a $500,000 grant from New York State Development in 2022 to help commercialize its business.

LocalCoho is seeking to raise an additional $4 million by the end of 2023 to fund its next growth phase.

• Cartwheel addresses the severe pediatric mental health crisis by working collaboratively with school districts, students, and families
• Embedded in communities as a true partner, Cartwheel provides evidence-based telehealth services with no waitlist, including individual therapy, group therapy, parent guidance and medication support
• Cartwheel accepts 99% of private and Medicaid insurance plans and is completely free for the uninsured and for students with Medicaid
• Active in 50 school districts and charter networks, Cartwheel will use the funding to expand to five new states and further enhance its proprietary Online Portal

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 26, 2023 — Cartwheel, a platform helping schools tackle the student mental health crisis by delivering affordable, evidence-based telehealth services with no waitlist, today announced that it has raised $20 million in Series A funding led by Menlo Ventures. Reach Capital joined the round, as did earlier investors General Catalyst, BoxGroup and Able Partners. The funding will allow Cartwheel to expand mental health services to hundreds of thousands of new students in current service areas, as well as school districts in new states.

There is an unprecedented mental health crisis among kids and teens. Depression in teens has more than doubled in the past 10 years, and a third of high school girls have seriously considered suicide. Youth today lack access to high-quality care, with symptoms often left untreated for years. As a result of the shortage of mental health providers, limited insurance coverage, and long waits, schools are increasingly expected to take the lead in supporting student mental health.

Founded in 2022, Cartwheel has quickly become a trusted mental health partner to schools. The founding team, which includes Chief Medical Officer, Juliana Chen, MD, a board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist, had collectively spent decades working in schools and community mental health clinics and felt the need for stronger school-community partnership to improve accessibility, quality, and financial sustainability of mental health care.

Today, when a school district partners with Cartwheel, school counselors can refer students for clinical mental health services with no waitlists. Cartwheel’s in-house team of licensed clinicians delivers evidence-based telehealth services, including 1-1 therapy, group therapy, parent guidance, and medication support – all as an in-network benefit covered by the family’s insurance. Operating year-round, Cartwheel allows students to see a licensed clinician at home or at school and during evenings, weekends, school breaks, and summers.

“As a district, we’re committed to supporting our students’ social-emotional and mental health to set them up for success—in the classroom and in life,” said Kimberly Huffer, Director of Social-Emotional Learning in Cambridge Public Schools. “Cartwheel has been a game-changer for us, allowing our students and families to access evidence-based mental health care quickly. Cartwheel is collaborative and responsive to the needs of our students and families and empowers our social workers to have a true partner in the community.”

Throughout care, Cartwheel works hand-in-hand with school staff and families to ensure the student is appropriately supported. A clinically licensed Program Manager supports school administrators on student cases, parent engagement, and staff training throughout the year; and bilingual Care Coordinators help families with scheduling, insurance, and referrals for additional services. Parents can also schedule weekly guidance sessions with a licensed clinician to discuss ways to support their child, even if their child isn’t interested in therapy themselves. Parents can also join educational workshops on timely mental health topics, ranging from school avoidance to social media use.

“It is incredibly tough to be a kid today, and mental health is a critical issue for our youth and our future. We led this investment in Cartwheel because by working directly with schools, Cartwheel enables earlier intervention, improves student and family engagement throughout care, and supports better coordination among the trusted adults in a student’s life,” said Greg Yap, Partner at Menlo Ventures.

“We’ve reached a tipping point in a mental health crisis that is overwhelming parents, schools, and community-based providers,” said Steve Kupfer, Partner at Reach Capital. “Cartwheel’s model recognizes the hands-on support school systems need and the vital role of timely intervention. Through care coordination, parent engagement, and a versatile team of licensed clinicians, Cartwheel will provide indispensable relief to communities across the country.”

“We work with school counselors to reinforce the support they provide to students every day,” said Joe English, Co-Founder and CEO of Cartwheel. “If a counselor thinks a student might need a level of care that goes beyond the school’s own capacity, Cartwheel can initiate treatment with a licensed clinician—no waitlists. This speed and quality has helped save lives.”

“By combining funding from school districts and health insurers, we’ve helped superintendents ensure the long-term financial sustainability of these services,” added Daniel Tartakovsky, Co-Founder and COO of Cartwheel and previously a mental health policy advisor to the U.S. Surgeon General. “We believe our model will become a blueprint for districts across the country on how to build a long-term school-community partnership, especially as school budgets tighten with the expiration of federal COVID relief dollars.”

Cartwheel serves more than 50 school systems across five states, including Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Illinois, and Rhode Island, supporting thousands of students, families, and school staff.

About Cartwheel
Cartwheel is the trusted mental health partner to schools, delivering rapid access to care for students and helping schools build stronger mental health programs that catch kids before they fall. Our evidence-based mental health program is designed around the entire school community. Our licensed therapists and child psychiatrists are diverse, culturally sensitive, and committed to affordable care for everyone—including uninsured families and those covered by Medicaid. Kids shouldn’t just aspire to get out of bed and drag themselves to class. They should be able to experience joy. They deserve to envision and build a life they’re excited to live.

$15M Series A will enable Kolena to accelerate development of its revolutionary AI testing and validation solution, helping developers build safe, reliable, and fair AI systems

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26, 2023 — Kolena, a pioneering leader in AI and machine learning model testing, today announced that it has successfully secured $15 million in a Series A funding round led by Lobby Capital, bringing total funding for the company to $21 million. Returning investors SignalFire, Bloomberg Beta, 11.2 Capital, Zero Prime Ventures and others also participated. This significant investment will fuel Kolena’s mission to revolutionize the way AI systems are tested and validated, ensuring trustworthiness and reliability in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Kolena’s innovative platform allows enterprises and teams to rapidly assemble highly specific test cases from the data sets that power their AI models, enabling evaluation of each model’s effectiveness in key scenarios and applications. This ‘fine-grained’ testing approach allows teams to root out unexpected model behavior such as biased hiring algorithms, false positives or misclassifications in critical healthcare applications and a vast range of other failure modes.

The company’s solution also helps teams and enterprises launch their models more quickly by eliminating the need for time-consuming experimentation-based testing. The platform was designed for computer vision, generative AI, natural language processing, LLMs and multi-modal models.

Kolena co-founder and CEO Mohamed Elgendy said, “We are thrilled to have secured $21 million in funding to further accelerate our efforts to enable AI developers around the world to build reliable AI systems. This investment will allow us to invest in research and development to build a systematic and rigorous AI quality framework along with toolings that empower businesses to build AI systems that society can trust, thereby accelerating AI adoption.”

Companies worldwide have been hesitant to fully embrace AI without a comprehensive solution in place to test and validate the robustness, fairness, factualness, and bias of AI systems. Regular headlines featuring high-profile AI failures have further emphasized the critical need for Kolena’s standardized and rigorous framework for AI quality assurance, which provides unprecedented visibility into a model’s performance in the precise scenarios they’ll be entrusted to handle in the real world.

Lobby Capital Founder Eric Carlborg said, “It’s no secret that unpredictable behavior by AI and ML models is one of the key constraints holding back more widespread AI adoption. Enterprises cannot risk deploying a model as part of their tech stack – much less as part of a customer-facing application – without assurance that it is safe, reliable and fair. Traditional testing approaches, however, remain incredibly time-consuming and imprecise, relying on experimentation and guesswork. Kolena’s solution solves both of these fundamental challenges, bringing rigor and visibility to the testing process that goes far beyond ‘statistical accuracy’ while simultaneously transforming testing from an inefficient manual process into a true engineering discipline.”

Kolena has already demonstrated remarkable success with its revolutionary approach. Several Fortune 500 companies, leading AI startups, government organizations and European AI standardization institutes have adopted Kolena’s solution, experiencing improved AI system performance and enhanced trust among their customers. The company also supports AI testing for military applications around the world.

SignalFire Venture Partner Oana Olteanu said, “As an early investor in Kolena, we were immediately impressed with Mohamed and his vision. That vision has been the driving force behind attracting a very strong team, including engineers and leaders who have built AI products and infrastructure for Amazon, Rakuten and Palantir. Given the team’s deep insight into the pain points involved in model testing, we believe that Kolena’s platform will become the industry standard in the near future. By enabling enterprises and developers to reduce time spend by up to 50% versus experimentation-based testing while eliminating 60% – 80% of model failures in production within the first few weeks of adoption, Kolena is poised to become a foundational piece of the global AI ecosystem.”

Mr. Elgendy concluded, “As AI continues to transform various industries, Kolena is committed to leading the charge in the model testing space to contribute to the development and deployment of trustworthy AI systems. With the support of this significant funding, we will continue to innovate, improve, and revolutionize the way AI is built.”

About Kolena
Founded by machine learning engineers and executives, Kolena is on a mission to define new quality standards for ML testing. The company provides robust, end-to-end ML model testing for computer vision, generative AI, natural language processing, LLMs, and multi-modal models, with the goal of ensuring trustworthiness and reliability in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Startups have changed deposit strategy, are earning more interest than ever before and JP Morgan has earned significant market share

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26, 2023 — Kruze Consulting, the startup CFO consulting firm with more than 800 venture funded startup clients, has analyzed banking data from 400+ startups with more than $4BN in deposits. The data showcases the massive shifts in the sector post SVB and FRB collapses. Full details can be found on the Kruze Startup Banking page, but highlights below:

• During the crisis, FRB lost more of its deposits (as a percentage) than SVB – likely due to the fast takeover of SVB (vs. the slow death of FRB) and how SVB’s venture debt made its cash deposits stickier
• JPMorgan grew its startup market share from 12% to 60%, through organic growth and the strategic acquisition of FRB – although FRB continues to lose deposits
• Startups have diversified their banking relationships significantly; the median startup now has 2 banks vs 1 prior to the crisis, and the average amount of cash startups kept at any single bank dropped from over $6.25 million to $4 million since the crisis.
• SVB saw average deposits drop from $8.5 million to $4 million
• FRB saw average deposits drop from $8.8 million to $2.7 million

One of the biggest and most compelling shifts is the market share that JP Morgan was able to acquire during the crisis – moving from just 12% to 60% with the acquisition of FRB. While FRB continues to lose deposits, JP Morgan has positioned itself as a major player in the future of startup banking. With the acquisition of FRB, JP Morgan has touchpoints at every level of the startup ecosystem. It is very likely that during the next startup IPO boom, JP Morgan will be able to be a partner to startups from the earliest stages all the way through IPO.

Additionally, startups have shifted the way they engage with banks – with startups having at least 2 banking relationships on average. With the increases in interest rates, startups have also shifted the way they manage capital by moving cash increasingly into interest-generating accounts. In December of 2022, only about 10% of startup cash was in treasuries but as of June 2023 30% of startup cash is now earning interest in treasury accounts. Because of that shift, startups are earning 50% more in interest than they were a year ago – up from $12,000/mo in December of 2022 to $17,000/mo in June 2023.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2023 — NightRide Thermal (Brooklyn, NY) is proud to sponsor a new series called Sasquatch University on Wild TV and Wild TV Plus (Edmonton, Alberta), which premiers today, September 25th at 5:30 pm ET. NightRide provides vehicle-mounted thermal cameras for reliable identification of animals and people in total darkness.

Wild TV, which is Numeris-rated as the number one outdoor programming provider in Canada, has forged a new content partnership with Ryan Willis, founder of the Ontario-based Trent University Sasquatch Society. Willis is also producer and host of the new Canadian series Sasquatch University.

Sasquatch University dives into the phenomenon of Bigfoot in Canada. Willis and his team explore different locations across the province of Ontario. Using eyewitness reports, hunting techniques and professional instruments, the Sasquatch University team is out to prove the existence of the legendary creature known as Bigfoot. NightRide donated two of its vehicle-mounted cameras for the thermal image capture of this exciting exploration.

“We are thrilled to be part of this adventure,” said Mary Ellen Kramer, CEO of NightRide Thermal Inc. “Given that the woods where the search is taking place are pitch black, we expect that any sightings or evidence of Sasquatch would show up first on the NightRide camera. We love being on the frontline with Ryan and his team.”

Willis commented: “The Sasquatch University team and I are excited to be working with Wild TV to not just share our passion of Sasquatch research and education with people worldwide, but to entertain them as well. We are very excited to be working with NightRide Thermal. Their products have greatly benefited us in gathering Bigfoot evidence. They keep us safe out in the woods and allow our entire team to have exceptional vision at night and identify heat signatures. We hope everyone gets a chance to check them out on Sasquatch University with episodes airing Mondays beginning September 25th at 5:30 pm EST on Wild TV and Wild TV Plus.”  See: https://wildtv.ca/schedule

Their goal is to educate the public about Sasquatch / Bigfoot and to spread discussion about Sasquatch in the academic setting.

Erudit´s ability to raise this round during a time of economic uncertainty demonstrates the confidence of investors in the company’s mission and its growing recognition in the market. “Our reasons for partnering include good strategic fit and team progress over the observation period,” shares Sunil Grover, Managing Partner at True Blue Partners.
