Since 2015, we've watched Featurespace evolve from an idea incubated at University of Cambridge to a world-class financial crime prevention solution. With the recent news of Visa's plans to acquire Featurespace, we've found ourselves reflecting on what has been quite a journey. Nearly two decades ago, the late Bill Fitzgerald, a professor of applied statistics and signal processing at the University of Cambridge, was mentoring Ph.D. student David Excell as he worked on applying an understanding of human behavior to statistical processes using machine learning. The models were predictive; data on a person’s individual behavior would be used to establish their “normal,” and once the statistical profile was created, the system could use it to determine whether that person’s other behaviors were true anomalies or irrelevant deviations. This was the invention of what is now known as adaptive behavioral analytics. Even with years of fintech investing under our belts, we had never seen anything like adaptive behavioral analytics in 2015. Machine learning was relatively new, and Featurespace was in the early stages of applying its technology to payments transactions. But after meeting with the team in Cambridge, we felt like they were on to something. The company's success only makes it that much more meaningful to share more about "Why We Invested" originally in Featurespace.

Congrats to Co-Founder and CEO Andrew Hamilton and the entire team at When for being named to Business Insider's list of "49 most promising fintechs" 🚀 We're proud to support you on your mission to improve the employee exiting experience. "Offering an alternative to expensive, inflexible COBRA not only makes common sense but also economic sense. COBRA participants are three times more costly than active employees, which is especially burdensome for self-insured companies. To date, companies that offer When's fixed-dollar health-insurance premium reimbursement have seen an 80% conversion rate from COBRA..."

We are thrilled to share that Visa announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Featurespace, a developer of real-time artificial intelligence (AI) payments protection technology. We first met David Excell and Martina King at Cambridge University in 2015, after we were introduced to them by our partners at TSYS. Featurespace was in the early days of applying its technology to financial services, and the company had built what is now known as Adaptive Behavioral Analytics – predictive models that could determine whether changes in a person’s behavior were true anomalies or irrelevant deviations. Featurespace had created an entirely new category of technology, and the company’s ability to detect fraud in real time was unprecedented in the industry. We’re exceptionally proud of the Featurespace team for bringing the company to this stage. Cheers to years of hard work, long hours, and a sincere commitment to making the world a safer place to transact. #teamttv Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eVxigSji cc: Tim Vanderham, Kendra Rogers, Carolyn Houren, Nikhil Mathur, Gardiner Garrard, Sean Banks, Mark Johnson, Paul Todd, Laney Lewis, Lizzie (Guynn) Hartley, Neil Kapur, Jen Zimmerman, Highland Europe, IP Group plc, Insight Partners, MissionOG, Chrysalis Investments (Investment Trust) https://lnkd.in/gY5KzTin
