Excited to share that Loop Financial has closed our second funding round since launching in 2022! 🎉 This milestone fuels our commitment to reducing the cost and friction of managing global finances for businesses of all sizes. 🌍💸 For years, only large enterprises had access to sophisticated cross-border payments, currency exchange, and treasury management tools. The rest are left to navigate unnecessary barriers, high fees and burdensome processes. 🏢💼 At Loop, we’re on a mission to level the playing field. Now, every business—no matter the size—can access the tools they need to manage their finances and grow globally. What’s next? 🔥 We’re doubling down on building the first global-first finance platform. This latest round of funding will enable us to: ➡️ Expand the capabilities of our platform to make international finance even easier and more affordable ➡️ Empower all businesses (from small to mid-sized) to access the same capabilities that big corporations have been able to leverage to grow across borders ➡️ Help businesses eliminate costly fees, reduce payment delays, and simplify multi-currency management We’re just getting started. 🚀 We believe the world of banking in the future will be one where it is as easy manage global finance and treasury is as easy as opening a local bank account. It's time to make finance frictionless for everyone. 💼🌍 Thank you everyone who has been a part of this journey so far, I couldn't be more excited for our next chapter 💪

Kicked off September with a week in NYC! Great to reconnect in person with Wedbush Ventures founders, investors, and partners. I especially loved deep-dives with founders Vinay Nagaraj and Jaya Pokuri of Bonfire Analytics and Jaimal Soni of Insight Health. It was also fun to bring together #healthtech leaders with JPMorganChase to foster conversation and community around building the next generation of solutions to improve patient outcomes. Healthcare tech is a relatively new area of investment for Wedbush Ventures, but it's a sector where we've made some of our favorite investments and it's inspiring to see the impact that these companies are making in improving health and quality of life. Thanks to Manasa Gummalla, Seong Kim, and Meaghan McAuliffe for sponsoring and co-hosting a splendid dinner! And to all the founders and funders for spirited and engaging conversation.

I'm incredibly thrilled to share Bonfire Analytics's $2M venture round today in conjunction with an Exclusive spotlight from Axios! In what started off as a creative project between two friends from Duke, Jaya Pokuri and I founded Bonfire Analytics with the mission of accelerating healthtech adoption so that life-saving digital tools, devices, and therapeutics get in the hands of patients faster than ever before. To combat the many sales inefficiencies that exist in healthcare today, what we're building at Bonfire Analytics is a unique AI-driven sales intelligence platform that empowers healthtech companies across digital health, medical device, biotech, and even pharma to sell more effectively to healthcare providers & plans. The strength of our platform comes from the powerful data building blocks we've pulled together, including: - 300M+ all-payer medical and drug claims across Medicare, Medicaid, and Commercial insurance - 2M+ healthcare providers including every physician, physician group, clinic, hospital, and health system in the US - 1000+ population health indicators spanning across demographics, disease state prevalence, and social determinants of health With our AI-driven sales insights, our customers have been able to accelerate qualified lead generation, build streamlined commercial strategies, and create strong business cases, all while increasing overall sales efficiency up to 5x. Of course, as with any major milestone like this, it's all about recognizing the amazing folks who have been a part of the Bonfire community. We're immensely grateful for the ongoing belief and support of the following institutions and individuals (in comments) who have invested their time, money, and energy in helping make all of this possible: Impulsum Venture Colab (Edward Wilson & Adam Neff) Wedbush Ventures (Petra Griffith) Plug and Play Tech Center (Julianne Roseman, Evan Matuszak, & Alexander Tran) Alchemist Accelerator (Ravi Belani) Venture For America (Andrew J. Albert) Finally, a HUGE shoutout to the whole Bonfire Analytics team - Dennis Ling, Abrar Tanveer, and Evelyn Lee - whose enthusiasm to continue building towards our vision every day is infectious, and I cannot wait to see where we'll take this in 2024 and beyond! 🚀 -------------------------- Official Company Press Release: https://lnkd.in/e7AR752d Features on Yahoo Finance & Business Insider: https://lnkd.in/eE7mr8zW https://lnkd.in/etK6yneS https://lnkd.in/eftYyVR8
