How they describe themselves: CrediVia is an online marketplace for smarter, simpler, faster commercial real estate loans. The company was formed by lenders and borrowers hoping to eliminate the broken, impersonal financing process that results in strained lender-borrower relationships and delayed funding. CrediVia, meaning The Way to Credit, provides a dynamic platform for interested lenders to connect with qualified borrowers. Its marketplace matches each loan request to multiple viable lender options, placed with intent and based on criteria certain to take the deal to closing. CrediVia is borrowers’ return source for financing and lenders’ reliable source for leads specific to their lending requirements.

How they describe their product/innovation: CrediVia’s cloud-based platform centralizes all borrower data and digitizes lenders’ application workflow. Borrowers enter application data once and the platform safely stores confidential data and documents essential to a loan’s application, underwriting and approval. Borrowers are connected with a host of interested lenders looking for deals on the marketplace, and lenders receive a complete loan package from qualified borrowers, expediting decisioning and loan approvals. Borrowers are better prepared to negotiate with data that is complete and lender-ready. And, as a result, the number of unnecessary subsequent iterations between borrower and lender will decrease.

How they describe themselves: Headquartered in Boston and Seoul, DualAuth, a spin-off from our main company eSTORM, was established in 2017 to focus on developing and delivering innovative mutual authentication technology to a global market.

Since eSTORM presented ‘DualCheck’ at FinovateFall 2016, we have developed two more mutual authentication financial technologies: AutoPassword™ and Authentic Beacon-Based Payment.

Our mutual authentication technology has been certified by FIDO Alliance and mentioned in a Gartner report as being a well-balanced authentication method.

How they describe their product/innovation: AutoPassword™ is an innovative mobile authentication technology, which allows users to verify the authenticity of online services whilst simultaneously verifying the authenticity of the user. AutoPassword™ outputs a randomized one-time password instead of relying on users to input a memorized password.

Authentic Beacon-Based Payment technology combines a one-time password dongle into a beacon transmitter. Then, the beacon transmits the signal containing authentic codes that change every 60 seconds. It simultaneously verifies the authenticity of both the payer and merchant, by simply tapping the user’s smartphone on the payment terminal.

How they describe themselves: US financial markets’ trading volume reached $67.5 trillion in 2016 alone, which is approximately $225 billion in a typical daily trade. In the same year and up to now, the crypto markets have been growing exponentially with the trading volume of “only” about $8 billion a day. Some estimates (Deloitte, 2017) suggest though that that crypto markets are expected to lock up to 10% off the total stock market volumes between 2020- 2025.

These markets are largely remaining closed to most retail investors due to either high entrance threshold or regulation, or both.
