Seed Extension Round Led by JAM FINTOP Brings the Total Raised to $8M, Enabling Further Push for its Flagship Anonybit Genie Product into Key Enterprise Market Segments

With More Than 422 Million Victims of Identity Theft Last Year, Global Cybercrime Costs Are Expected to Reach $10.5 Trillion Per Year by 2025, Signifying Urgency for New Approaches to Authenticate Users, Combat Data Breaches and Account Takeover Attacks

NEW YORK and TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 17, 2023 — Anonybit, an innovator in decentralized biometric authentication and data protection, has secured an additional $3 million funding round led by JAM FINTOP with participation from Connecticut Innovations and 4S Bay Partners, the family office of Jessica Sarowitz and Steve Sarowitz, increasing its total funds raised to $8 million. This additional investment will accelerate Anonybit’s mission to provide privacy-by-design identity management solutions to enterprises that are looking for new ways to authenticate users in order to avoid account takeover attacks and data breaches.

Anonybit’s patent-pending technology enables the distributed storage and processing of biometrics and other personal data. The company’s flagship product, the Anonybit Genie, unifies the identity lifecycle, connecting digital onboarding to authentication and account recovery through the use of decentralized biometrics along the user journey. This innovative approach can prevent synthetic identity fraud and account takeovers, supporting a wide range of enterprise use cases.

“Anonybit’s unique, enterprise-grade technology enables banks and other enterprises to safely and compliantly leverage biometric data to authenticate users. With cybercrime a persistent and growing threat, we believe deploying enhanced methods of authentication will become table stakes for banks,” said Ryan Zacharia, Managing Partner at JAM FINTOP. “We have been impressed by the Anonybit team’s deep industry experience, as well as the company’s traction with identity verification providers and other industry partners that service banks.”

The team is led by Frances Zelazny, Co-Founder & CEO, a recognized digital identity expert and market strategist with nearly 25 years of experience in biometrics, fraud prevention and payments, and Yaron Azizi, Co-Founder & Chief Architect, alumni of the prestigious 8200 unit within the Israel Defense Force and initial architect of the BioCatch and Tapingo (acquired by Grubhub) platforms.

“We all read the headlines and continue to be alarmed by the rapid pace of increased fraud, which suggests that existing solutions are mere bandaids,” said Frances Zelazny, Anonybit Co-Founder and CEO. “When thinking about the root cause, it boils down to two things. Personal data is stored in central honeypots that are impossible to protect and we allow the use of this data to authenticate ourselves. It’s a never-ending cycle. Many players in the industry aim to expand their offerings to address more comprehensive use cases in identity, but only Anonybit can get us out of the current paradigm by making it safe to store biometrics. This key differentiator is crucial for account recovery and eliminates the need to fall back on inferior, knowledge-based authenticators, passwords and more, whether online, in a branch, at a call center or in a chat channel.”

Zelazny adds, “This funding round validates our vision and gives us the resources to propel the next stage of our growth and deliver on the promise of privacy and security with no tradeoffs.”

Alongside the funding, joining the team as Chief Revenue Officer is another industry veteran with significant cryptography, cybersecurity and startup experience, Limor Elbaz, best known for her sales leadership at Imperva and Peerlyst; and joining as a new member of the Advisory Board is Cybercrime and Fraud Expert Al Pascual, former industry analyst at Javelin Research and co-founder of Breach Clarity that was recently acquired by TransUnion.

“Having dedicated a substantial portion of my career to the field of fraud and identity, I’ve witnessed numerous solutions that often feel like reactionary fixes,” said Al Pascual. “Anonybit, however, stands out as a pioneering solution that gets to the root cause of the problem, helping to ensure that people really are who they claim to be across the user journey, eliminating the gaps that attackers exploit. I am excited to be joining a team with a proven track record in this industry and I am eager to leverage my expertise to help promote this pioneering technology so it is adopted as quickly as possible.”

Identifies three strategic investment areas over the next six years:
(A) Augmented footprint of hyperscale datacenters that are custom-built for AI and cloud workloads 
(B) Achieve Net Zero 
(C) Augment team strength & capabilities

HYDERABAD, India, Oct. 17, 2023 — Close on the heels of a spate of top management leadership hiring, CtrlS Datacenters Ltd, Asia’s leading Rated-4 datacenter service provider, today announced its new investment plan of $2 billion over the next six years.

The company has identified three key areas of focus as it looks to scale its operations, reaffirm its commitment to the region, and further establish its leadership position:

1. Add 350 MW of AI & Cloud-ready Hyperscale Datacenters:

With the massive surge in adoption of AI applications and Cloud technologies, the demand for AI and cloud ready datacenters is on the rise. CtrlS Datacenters will invest in several key technologies and strategies in areas such as advanced cooling, power management, and overall infrastructure design in its new hyperscale datacenters.

These will include: Liquid Cooling (Direct-to-chip or immersion cooling), AI HVAC, AI Optimised Rack Layout, High-Efficiency Power Infrastructure etc, and will provide a plug-n-play environment for emerging technology service providers to grow their IT footprint seamlessly.

At present, CtrlS Datacenters has 12 state-of-the-art datacenters with 234 MW capacity spread across seven major cities including Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Noida, Lucknow, and Patna. The investment plan involves the addition of approximately 350 MW capacity across new and existing hyperscale and edge datacenters in both India and select Southeast Asian markets.

2. Achieve Net Zero or Carbon Neutral by 2030:

CtrlS Datacenters is aiming to become carbon neutral by 2030. The company is investing in 153-Megawatt Peak (MWp) solar projects across three markets, that will generate 2,50,000-Megawatt Hours (MWh) energy annually. This includes a 145 MWp solar project in Maharashtra that will be fully owned and operated by the company. By 2025, CtrlS Datacenters plans to invest in additional 300 MWp projects.

CtrlS Datacenters aims to achieve its Net Zero goals through a multi-pronged strategy, going beyond renewable energy. The company will further enhance its water conservation measures by deploying more advanced water recycling technologies in line with its goal of 100 percent usage of recycled water at all of its datacenters.

3. Double headcount by 2029:

CtrlS Datacenters is aggressively strengthening the organization by constantly hiring and skilling. The company has brought onboard several industry veterans from global MNCs to strengthen its leadership team and drive its growth. The global leadership team received a boost with Royce Thomas (from Equinix) joining as President & Chief Business Officer, Ashish Ahuja (from Google) joining as Chief Technology Officer, Vipin Jain (from AWS) joining as President-Datacenter Operations and Mohit Pande (from Jefferies) joining as Chief Financial Officer, besides other senior leaders. 

As CtrlS Datacenters expands its footprint and broadens its portfolio, the company is expected to hire over 1,000 people in the next six years.

Recognized as a ‘Great Place to Work’ and ‘Great Place to Work for Women’, the company is attracting the best talent in every sphere of datacenter design, build and operations and making them part of its growth journey.

Commenting on the investment plans, Sridhar Pinnapureddy, Founder & Chairman of CtrlS Datacenters, said, “Since 2007, we have been committed to innovation and excellence, and the present surge in AI and cloud technologies warrants that we stay relevant to these changing market dynamics, while leading the charter of sustainability. We aspire to not only bolster our presence across key markets delivering the next generation of datacenter technology, but also to elevate the standard for the entire datacenter industry through pioneering services and sustainable practices.” 

CtrlS Datacenters has cultivated a unique organizational capability that allows it to add substantial capacities every year. With its sights set on the critical growth phase, CtrlS Datacenters aims to capitalize on the ongoing digitization revolution in India and the growing demand for next-generation datacenters.

Nexus Venture Partners Leads Funding Round to Enhance Real-Time Device Intelligence for 6,000+ Companies

CHICAGO, Oct. 17, 2023 — Fingerprint, the world’s most accurate device intelligence platform, raised $33 million in Series C funding led by Nexus Venture Partners with participation from Uncorrelated Ventures. Fingerprint aids developers in building device identification with flexible APIs capable of identifying fraudsters while ensuring low-friction experiences for trusted users. The Fingerprint platform leads with best-in-class accuracy, identifying 99.5% of returning users in less than 500 milliseconds of processing time. The new funding brings the company’s total funding to $77 million.

“With the gradual death of cookies and proliferation of VPNs, high accuracy device identification has never been more important. Companies battle sophisticated attacks from online fraudsters while needing to ensure their trusted customers have a frictionless experience,” said Dan Pinto, Fingerprint’s co-founder and CEO. “Fingerprint solves this challenge for thousands of companies by enabling accurate device identification and providing additional signals to inform visitor intent without inconveniencing legitimate users.”

Since its last round of funding in 2021, Fingerprint has seen significant growth stemming from its ease of integration, instant value for new customers via API and extensive documentation. Industry leaders like Dropbox trust Fingerprint to detect and block account takeover attempts, while Neiman Marcus relies on the same technology to create personalized experiences for its most valued customers.

“Fingerprint is becoming a modern utility for the internet economy to combat fraud,” said Abhishek Sharma, Managing Director of Nexus Venture Partners. “Any business that processes online transactions or payments should use Fingerprint. Its device intelligence API helps high-scale websites and apps prevent fraudulent transactions. We’re impressed by the product’s ability to deliver 10x+ ROI for its customers consistently. We love Fingerprint’s developer-focused go-to-market approach coupled with its ubiquitous open-source library, FingerprintJS. The company has commercially grown 20x over the past three years. It has a resounding product-market fit, from small businesses to large public companies. We’re thrilled to triple down and further strengthen our partnership with Fingerprint.”

Unlike other device identification methods, Fingerprint’s persistent visitor identifier continuously improves and maintains accuracy, even as browsers are upgraded. Providing a complete view of all users across web and mobile devices — whether or not they are logged in or concealing their identity — enables companies to build superior fraud detection and user experiences. Companies use Fingerprint for a variety of use cases, including:

• Protecting login pages from automated account takeover attacks and phishing attempts.
• Preventing payment fraud of all forms for payment processors and eCommerce retailers.
• Account sharing detection and prevention for SaaS and subscription services.
• Securing cryptocurrency exchanges.
• Building paywalls that can’t be evaded by going incognito, changing IP addresses or clearing cookies.
• Restricting access for bad actors in online gaming and gambling.

Fingerprint also makes it easy for any developer to get started with popular third-party integrations such as Cloudflare, Segment, CloudFront and many more. Additionally, Fingerprint partners with software vendors, including Dodgeball, Okta and Spec, to generate additional value for customers and increase customer retention.

The funding will enable Fingerprint to accelerate adoption within larger Enterprise customers, which have been a critical driver of the company’s recent growth. Fingerprint aims to build new tools and capabilities to tackle the most complex challenges in device identification.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 17, 2023 — Yardstik, a Trust & Safety Platform built to help high-volume hiring businesses safely hire, verify, and onboard workers at scale, has raised an additional $12 million in its most recent round of funding.

The expansion round is led by MissionOG with participation from existing investors Grotech Ventures, Rally Ventures, and Crosslink Capital.

The financing follows an impressive year of growth and product development for Yardstik. While other startups found themselves challenged by economic uncertainties, leaner teams, and tighter budgets, Yardstik saw over 300% growth in its customer base.

The success Yardstik experienced this past year is the result of its continued commitment to providing businesses in need of better trust and safety hiring tools with a more holistic, connected, and data-driven solution.

Earlier this year, Yardstik launched its Trust & Safety Platform. The platform is Yardstik’s answer to the question every high-volume hiring business, SaaS platform, and gig marketplace is asking itself today: how do we hire a lot of people, living in many different places, quickly and at scale without sacrificing trust and safety?

Yardstik meets this challenge head-on with its Trust & Safety Platform, and after a year of traction and success, the company is ready to double down.

“We’re thrilled to announce this new strategic partnership with the team at MissionOG, said Matt Meents, CEO & Founder at Yardstik. “Trust & Safety is a growing problem for every business, but especially for those navigating the new world of remote work, 1099 contractors, and the gig economy. The team at MissionOG has deep operational experience and knows exactly what a company at our stage of growth needs. We’re looking forward to working with them to bring our platform to more people,” he added.

Yardstik will use the infusion of capital to bring faster, more affordable screening, verification, and onboarding tools to businesses desperate for a better, more connected solution. These tools come at a time when businesses are being forced to address and solve for a rapid rise in the costs and risks associated with fraud in the hiring process.

“The way businesses and people work together is evolving rapidly. Existing tools businesses utilize are outdated, siloed, and hard to implement, ” said George Krautzel, Managing Partner at MissionOG. “By removing the trust and safety challenges associated with onboarding and monitoring workers, Yardstik’s customers can better focus on meeting the ever-increasing demands of their markets.”

In the coming months, Yardstik will introduce additional products and services that live within their Trust & Safety Platform. The company also plans to significantly increase its team, adding members to fill open roles in engineering, sales, marketing, legal, and technology.
