Finovate, FinDEVr Alums Earn Finalist Spots in BBVA Open Talent Competition

By David Penn Posted on August 7, 2015
Categories: Coinalytics, DRAFT, Rippleshot, SizeUp, Token, Uncategorized

The BBVA Open Talent competition released the list of finalists for its 2015 competition. And five alums from both our Finovate and FinDEVr conferences will be competing for the top prizes.

The three regional finals will be held in September (schedule below). Six winners will be chosen, two from each category. Winners will receive €30,000 to develop their fintech projects in partnership with BBVA.

Latin America Finals: Mexico City, 9/10 September
USA and the Rest of the World Finals: New York, 14/15 September
Europe Finals: Barcelona, 21/22 September

Here’s a look at the alumni who will be competing in September:

Coinalytics provides an end-to-end intelligence platform that helps institutions gain actionable insights from the blockchain. The company will make its FinDEVr debut at FinDEVr 2015 in San Francisco in October. Coinalytics was founded in April 2014 and is based in San Francisco, California.

DRAFT made its Finovate debut at FinovateSpring 2015 in San Jose. The company has developed a crowdsourced, mobile investment-analysis solution geared toward mass-affluent millennials. DRAFT was founded in October 2014 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas.

Chicago-based Rippleshot builds security and anti-fraud solutions. Their cloud-based technology leverages big data to spot bank card data breaches. The company was founded in June 2013 and last demoed for Finovate as part of FinovateFall 2014 in New York.

Founded in September 2011 and based in San Francisco, SizeUp uses big data to give small businesses the kind of business intelligence and market analysis often available only to larger companies. The company demoed at FinovateSpring 2015 in San Jose.

Making its Finovate debut this spring at FinovateSpring 2015, Token has developed a payment platform that relies on public-key cryptography and digital signatures for faster, more secure transactions. Founded in January 2015 and headquartered in Palo Alto, California.

Now in its seventh year, the BBVA Open Talent competition seeks fintech projects that “contribute to the industry’s evolution and transformation.” Ideal areas for innovation include big data, e-commerce, and security. The Open Talent challenge seeks to emphasize solutions from companies and entrepreneurs interested in becoming “fellow travel companions” with the bank.

Rippleshot and BioCatch Earn Finalist Spots in MRC METAwards

By David Penn Posted on March 10, 2015
Categories: BioCatch, Rippleshot

I’ll admit it: the only thing better than both Rippleshot and BioCatch making the finals in the MRC METAwards is the possibility that, since they are in different categories, there’s a chance both Finovate alums will take home the gold.

Big-data anti-fraud specialist Rippleshot, and biometric authentication innovator BioCatch, will join four other fintech companies at MRC Vegas 2015 on March 24-26. All six companies will compete in a set of final presentations to determine the winners of the startup and established company categories, respectively.

MRC CEO Danielle Nago said the awards serve as a “showcase” for those developing “progressive innovations” when it comes to dealing with payments and fraud. “This collaboration allows merchants to incorporate safe and efficient practices for their customers,” she added.

Competing against Rippleshot in the start-up category are allpago international and Risk Ident. Biocatch squares off against both Adyen and Agari in the established-company category.

Rippleshot made its Finovate debut at our spring conference in 2014. Based in Chicago and founded in June 2013, the company was co-founded by Canh Tran, CEO; Lucas Ward, CTO; Yueyu Fu, CPO; and Chief Scientist Randal Cox. Rippleshot was named one of ten “promising startups, to watch” by the 2014 FinTech Forward Rankings, and won “Startup Up and Comer” honors at the Chicago Innovation Awards in October.

Israel-based BioCatch made its Finovate debut at FinovateFall 2014 in New York. BioCatch provides cloud-based behavioral authentication and threat detection for both mobile and online applications. The company recently launched its New Account Fraud Detection solution, and was featured in November 2014 by American Banker in its line-up of top 10 tech companies to watch.

MRC stands for “Merchant Risk Council.” Based in Seattle with offices in Madrid, Spain, MRC is a global, not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to operational excellence in the field of fraud, payments, and risk in e-commerce.
