The seed round was led by Lightspeed Faction with participation from Blockchain Coinvestors and Chris Adelsbach.
"Everything we do at LO:TECH is built on top of great trading infrastructure. This investment from Faction – a team known for backing disruptive, entrepreneurial teams – is validation of our vision and will allow us to push forward building innovative trading technology and services."
Addition led the Series B round with participation from Chevron Technology Ventures, Legal & General, Braavos Capital, and Oxford Science Enterprises.
"As we approach the culmination of the NIST project, we expect newly-ratified standards to help drive rapid adoption of PQC across the technology supply chain. Led by an industry-leading team with decades of experience, PQShield has quickly established itself as a leading authority in post-quantum cryptography for hardware and software. We are excited to see the business continue to build on its existing commercial success and further enhance its efforts in protecting our digital future."
The funding round was backed by Tioga Capital, Semantic Ventures, Cherry Ventures, and other institutional and angel investors.
"With X10, we want to give our users and traders the best of both worlds. Imagine the features and the speed of Coinbase or Binance but with full self-custody. The FTX situation, where users only got back a third of their funds, serves as a wake-up call for the industry. It urges us to reinforce trust and efficiency in crypto trading through on-chain trade settlement, validation, and self-custody"
The oversubscribed funding round was completed in 48 hours by existing backers.
"We only needed to do a small round as we are rapidly heading towards profitability but wanted to feel comfortable bringing forward our hiring plan in light of the exceptional revenue growth. We are incredibly fortunate to have such supportive shareholders from our ClickIQ days, which allowed us to complete the round very quickly and not be distracted with time out of the business spent raising monies"
The pre-series b round was led by Samaipata and Stage 2 Capital to support client acquisition and technology development.
"With the cost of failed hires estimated to be three times their annual salary, Veremark’s efficient solution to background screening is helping businesses make fully informed hiring decisions. Despite a global slow down in recruitment, the company has continued to deliver exceptional growth due to the value it brings to customers. We are excited to continue backing Veremark’s remarkable growth journey as it continues to redefine workplace compliance and screening."
