| Gener8 | We believe that the advertising industry needs more transparency and that people should be able to control their own data. Our technology gives people the control that is currently missing. And if people choose to share their data with advertisers, we reward them for it. Consequently, people trust us and 83% of them share their data with us.Meaning that we have an incredible understanding about these people and their online behaviour. We work with companies (and their media agencies) in the capacity of a media owner to do three things: 1. Provide premium media for you to reach this highly defined audience.2. Use our proprietary first party data to unveil actionable insights about your customers, eg. their purchase habits.3. To promote your brand and drive an action from your audience. | $2.5M | Seed | Jun 11, 2024 |  |
| Peggy | Peggy is the secure marketplace for investment-grade art. In times of societal crisis and turmoil throughout humanity, artists pave the way for social change and transformation. As an investment, art is among the only appreciating asset classes you can also enjoy (like real estate), plus is uncorrelated to traditional markets. This is whybillionaires and banks seek out art as a safe haven to preserve wealth in their portfolios. Yet tragically, the rest of us are unable to participate in the art market, and support the practice of emerging artists who create transformative messages through their works.Peggy partners with galleries and artists, to make living with and investing in art accessible to all. Finally you can buy incredible art at a price you can afford, and can later sell to fellow collectors if your tastes change or you seek to rebalance your art investments. Core to our values, Peggy does good by the artists themselves, who can finally earn artist royalties for all future secondary sales as well - something they miss out on today. Peggy also has powerful benefits for galleries (get in touch!) This is all made possible using sophisticated and proprietary AI and ML which keeps buyers and sellers protected without the need for the antiquated and opaque Auction House model. | $8.1M | Seed | Feb 07, 2023 |  |
