Generative AI for Crypto Startup SuperSight Raises $1M Pre-seed to Build Crypto-Specific LLMs

LONDON, July 5, 2023SuperSight, a London-based Generative AI startup, is redefining the crypto data landscape with its revolutionary Large Language Models (LLMs) tailored for crypto data. The company is thrilled to announce a $1M pre-seed round, backed by Blockchain Founders Fund, Animoca Brands, Druid Ventures, Emurgo, Next Gen Web 3, Vayner Fund, and others. This milestone paves the way for SuperSight to accelerate their development of vertical-specific foundational models.

With 420 million crypto users but only 30,000 able to programmatically derive insights, SuperSight bridges the gap, enabling easy access to information from a range of both on-chain and off-chain sources like Discord, Telegram, Twitter, Mirror, Podcast Transcripts, and News amongst other sources. SuperSight uses AI to improve the search experience, making it personalized, accurate, and more insightful. SuperSight is gearing up to introduce new features like real-time alerts, future trend predictions, and trade capabilities, further simplifying the way people engage with crypto.

Co-founded by Sungjung Kim, Advait Jayant, and Mohammed Junaid, SuperSight was born out of the trio’s shared vision to make blockchain data accessible. Sungjung stems from a background in Physics from Imperial College, with technical experiences at UBS and Fidelity, and has built crypto products since 2017. Advait is a PhD candidate at London Business School with a focus on Crypto Wash Trading; Advait formally trained in Computer Science at BITS Pilani, and previously lectured Machine Learning at O’Reilly (via Technics Publications) and Portfolio Management (Crypto/VC) at UCL. Junaid stems from a Management background from the University of Warwick. Junaid brings experience from trading in crypto, in institutional sales through working at the JP Morgan Equity Derivatives Team, and founding D2C ecommerce businesses.

Speaking about the investment, Aly Madhavji, co-founder and Managing Partner of Blockchain Founders Fund, expressed, “SuperSight’s innovative approach to data analytics holds the promise of transforming the crypto landscape. We’re backing their mission to turn crypto data into a reservoir of insights accessible to all, not just experts.”

Echoing this sentiment, Druid Ventures comments, “SuperSight is pioneering the crypto sector’s AI space to morph intricate, colossal data into clear, valuable insights. This game is about data, yet for many, it remains a riddle – intense and unattainable. SuperSight is not just deciphering the code but reshaping the game itself, ensuring everyone gets a fair shot. It’s the essence of democratization – of ensuring that data is available to all – that fans the flames of our support for this audacious team.”

Developing crypto-specific LLMs, SuperSight is turning complex data into user-friendly insights. Their platform’s intuitive querying allows users to pinpoint high-performing traders, evaluate token profit and loss dynamics, or probe into retention metrics, without writing a single line of code. The extent of query possibilities aligns seamlessly with the breadth of the user’s imagination.

SuperSight envisions a future where every crypto user, regardless of their technical skill, can access and interpret the wealth of information in the crypto universe, driving informed decisions and smarter investments. With SuperSight, that future is now.

Global Millennial Capital Launches Web3 Investment Program Aiming at Investing in Pre-Seed to Series A Companies

The program aims to invest in companies operating in verticals such as data ownership, Web3 privacy tools, NFTs, cryptocurrency platforms, blockchain technology, and DeFi.

TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands, July 5, 2023 — According to McKinsey’s Web3 report, the financial-services industry has primarily adopted some of these nascent digital technologies and assets. At its peak, the daily volume of transactions processed on so-called decentralized finance exchanges exceeded $10 billion, with various market fluctuations felt in the last twelve months, providing entry and exit opportunities for investors and market participants.

Remittances, asset swaps, trade finance, and insurance have all begun to employ smart contracts to achieve automation efficiencies. At the same time, lending, a vertical we are interested in, may demonstrate one of the most effective implementations of Web3 to date.

Global Millennial Capital Ltd (“Global”), an emerging technology and digital assets investment manager, has established itself as a venture capital firm with a track record in investing in fintech and web3 companies since 2020. The recently launched initiative, Global Millennial Web3 Investment Program, aims to accelerate emerging companies to their full potential.

“We are thrilled to announce the launch of our investment program aimed at investing and accelerating visionary technology companies operating in the Web3, Defi, and blockchain verticals, with a specific emphasis on financial services applications, among others. In addition to the typical acceleration program benefits, which include mentorship, hackathons, regulatory sandbox conversations, and strategic ecosystem connections, Global will deploy its resources to enable Series A companies to access various markets across the Middle East and Africa, from the United Arab Emirates.”

What is the Global Millennial Capital Web3 Accelerator Program?

Global Millennial Capital Web3 Acceleration Program is designed to accelerate technology companies in defining and reshaping business models and economics and creating a network of global ecosystem relationships in the United Arab Emirates. The program will provide one-on-one mentorship, organize hackathons, explore testing and security, and connect with regulators, ecosystem participants, and investors. Global will invest up to $250,000 per company; ten companies are expected to be selected during the program.

How to Participate in the Web3 Accelerator Program?

Global is looking to partner with early-stage technology companies operating in data ownership, Web3 privacy tools, NFTs, cryptocurrency platforms, blockchain technology, digital entertainment, and DeFi, among other opportunistic verticals.

Global invites early-stage companies from around the globe to submit their business plan and pitch deck at https://globalmillennialcapital.com/web3-program/.

An Inclusive and Sustainable Future in Venture Capital Using Data-Driven Investment Decisions

Various digital transformations have led to exponential growth in machine-readable information, or digital data, over the internet. Knowing the impact of the digital economy, Global adopts data models, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence tools to enhance the traditional investment process. Global believes that digitalization has encouraged new forms of collaboration among economic agents in the sharing economy, which has a disruptive impact on the role of conventional financial institutions. The investment style adopted by Global is highly inclusive, leading to improved socioeconomic outcomes through venture capital investments.

About Global Millennial Capital Ltd.

Global Millennial Capital Ltd is the first venture capital investor to introduce the concept of data science in the traditional investment process to create thematic investment themes and artificial intelligence-led investment recommendations. As an active investor in the global fintech sector, which comprises companies operating in the fintech, web3, blockchain, and AI verticals referred to as the “new economy technologies,” Global Millennial Capital Ltd is investing from Fund I ($25 million) in early and growth stages, using a diversified investment strategy targeting risk-adjusted returns while seeking alpha returns with downside protections. As a long-term partner of the entrepreneurs, we deploy value-creation strategies across cycles for our portfolio companies to enhance critical drivers of scalability and profitability, such as access to capital and global markets.

VentureBlick Secures US$2.6M for First Two Startups, Unveils Super Incubator Model for Medtech Innovation

SINGAPORE, July 5, 2023 — VentureBlick, a global venture platform for healthcare innovation, announces the successful closure of its first two deals, securing a total of US$2.6 million for two startups despite a challenging funding environment. This achievement is a testament of VentureBlick’s distinctive approach of engaging the global medical community to validate, support, and invest in early-stage healthcare startups.

Exceeding expectations, VentureBlick raised US$1.6 million for NousQ, a Singapore-based startup revolutionizing glue ear surgery with the world’s first smart robotic handheld device. This oversubscription, surpassing the initial target by 60%, demonstrates investors’ strong confidence in medical innovations that address real medical needs and possess a clear clinical use case. The second deal, for a China-based healthcare startup, closed at over US$1 million. Both startups were put through a three-step vetting process, which includes systematic review by medical and industry experts from respective areas across the globe, before they were listed on the platform.

Dr Lynne Lim, Founder & CEO of NousQ, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “We are thrilled to have surpassed our fundraising target on the VentureBlick platform. This US$1.6 million bridge funding is a significant step towards our ultimate fundraising goal of US$5.5 million for our current ongoing Series A fundraise. Getting such positive responses from fellow doctors and investors around the world means a lot to our team. Equally exciting is the opportunity to tap into VentureBlick’s extensive healthcare expertise and resources.”

Building on this success, VentureBlick is evolving its business model into a ‘Super Incubator’ model, which provides an end-to-end, fully customizable solution to help build, test, and market medtech innovations, with successful exits or commercialisation as the ultimate goal.

Chris Lee, Founder & CEO of VentureBlick, emphasized the importance of this evolution, stating, “Medtech presents unique challenges and opportunities. We found that existing venture support models like incubator or accelerator programs often lack industry-specific focus or cover only certain aspects or growth stages. This leaves significant gaps, uncertainties, and risks to all stakeholders involved in a startup’s development. Super Incubator for VentureBlick is not another of those programs, but how we are going to redefine medtech venture building. What we offer medtech startups is a tailored medtech-centric ecosystem and full-slate support model to enable their innovations to reach the market in the shortest time possible and create most tangible impact.”

VentureBlick will officially launch its Super Incubator in September 2023 and is currently raising funds for the new model. The Super Incubator promises to streamline the startup journey from ideation and testing to venture building and market success. Its comprehensive offering includes product demand validation at the very beginning, fundraising, design and manufacturing, healthcare partnerships, product trial and assessment, health economics and reimbursement strategy, as well as market mapping and access.

As part of its new model, VentureBlick is also launching its medical advisory business, offering expertise in evaluating investments or M&A deals from a medical perspective on behalf of corporate ventures, VCs, or government bodies. One of the largest corporate conglomerates in the world has retained VentureBlick to assess its potential investment deals in the healthcare sector. They will tap into VentureBlick’s global advisory network, which consists of more than 1,000 advisors who have been individually screened and vetted from more than 50 countries covering over 30 specialty areas. The advisor pool will be further expanded to 3,000 by the end of 2023.

With a strong foundation established and an impressive pilot programme, VentureBlick is well-positioned to continue driving and supporting innovation in the healthcare sector with its new business model, ultimately improving healthcare outcomes worldwide.

About VentureBlick

VentureBlick is a Super Incubator for medtech startups, providing a fully customisable one-stop solution to build, test, and market innovations with the ultimate goal of successful exits or commercialisation. Leveraging its global advisor network, strong in-house capabilities, and specialised partners, VentureBlick streamlines the startup journey, from ideation and testing to venture building and market success. The company is headquartered in Singapore with a presence in Australia, China, Germany, India, Korea, and USA. Join us in shaping the future of healthcare at www.ventureblick.com.

Avaada Group Successfully Closes Historic INR 10,700 Cr ($1.3 billion) Funding Round, Reinforcing its Commitment to Green Energy

MUMBAI, India, June 30, 2023 — Avaada Group, a leading integrated energy platform, has announced the successful closure of INR 10,700 crore ($1.3 billion) funding round, marking a historic moment for the green energy industry in Asia and India’s renewable energy sector. This funding round is the largest equity round ever raised by any green energy company in Asia.

The funding will be used to bolster Avaada’s green hydrogen, green methanol, green ammonia, solar manufacturing and renewable power generation ventures, as part of India’s commitment to a sustainable future. This achievement underscores the effectiveness of government policies encouraging investment in green energy and the global transition towards sustainable energy solutions.

In a significant boost to its solar manufacturing capabilities, Avaada Group had previously won a production-linked incentive of INR 961 crore ($116.78 million) for 3 GW of wafer-to-module capacity under the PLI Scheme. This win, coupled with the successful funding round, further solidifies Avaada’s position as a leader in the renewable energy sector and underscores its commitment to harnessing green energy for a sustainable future.

Adding to its list of achievements, Avaada Energy Private Limited has won several tenders, amounting to almost 1.8 GW, in the last three months from corporate customers and utilities. This success demonstrates Avaada’ s ability to meet the growing demand for renewable energy and its commitment to delivering high quality, sustainable energy solutions.

Brookfield Renewables, through its Brookfield Global Transition Fund (BGTF), has earlier committed to investing up to INR 8,225 crore ($1 billion) in Avaada Ventures Private Limited. In addition, Global Power Synergy Public Company Limited (GPSC), an existing shareholder with a 42.93% equity holding in Avaada Energy Private Ltd (AEPL), has pledged to increase its capital by investing an additional INR 1,917 crore ($233 million) in AEPL, further supporting the company’s growth. This follows GPSC’s previous investment of INR 558 crore ($68 million) in AEPL in April, bringing their total investment in Avaada to around INR 6,037 crore ($779 million).

This successful funding round is a testament to India’s commitment to choosing innovation and technology over traditional energy sources. The country stands at a pivotal moment, with the potential to grow using either conventional energy or the latest green technologies. The choice of the latter is creating enormous opportunities through the global transition fund.

Vineet Mittal, Chairperson and Founder, Avaada Group, commented: “This funding round marks a significant milestone in Avaada Group’s journey and India’s energy transition. We are grateful for the support from our investors and the Indian government, which is enabling us to contribute to the global energy transition and deliver on our promise of a sustainable future.”

Mr. Worawat Pitayasiri, President and CEO of Global Power Synergy Public Company Limited (GPSC), said “Our decision to invest further in AEPL is based on our confidence in their strategic approach to the renewable energy sector, aiming to achieve at least 11 GW in 2026. AEPL’s commitment to renewable power generation aligns well with our own focus on sustainable growth and innovation.”

Avaada Group has diversified into manufacturing Green Hydrogen, Green Methanol, Green Ammonia, and expanded its footprint into the Solar PV supply chain with the manufacturing of solar cell and module. The company currently operates a renewable energy portfolio of ~4 GW and around 7 GW in different stages of implementation.
