OurCrowd’s portfolio company Crosswise featured in AdExchanger

Jul 24, 2014 | ,

OurCrowd portfolio company Crosswise was featured in AdExchanger, a news and discussion website devoted to an exchange of ideas about digital media optimization. Crosswise is producing an advanced technology that identifies users across their multiple devices, solving a major problem and improving ROI for the rapidly growing, digital advertising market. Multiscreen tracking company Crosswise, which on Thursday launched its cross-device identification solution, doesn’t care about buying media. “We’re not creating profiles of users, we’re looking for connections between data points,” [Crosswise CEO and co-founder Steve] Glanz said. “We’re trying to solve the problem of being able to identify users across devices employing a statistical or probabilistic solution.”   Crosswise raised $550,000 from OurCrowd investors in January 2014.

Flipping the script: Investors take the stage to pitch to startups

Jul 23, 2014 | ,

Pitching to investors isn’t an easy task, to say the least. The entire ordeal can be a daunting and at times, tough on an entrepreneur’s confidence level. Well, entrepreneurs fed up of pitching to countless investors now have chance to turn the tables. Capital On Stage is the unconventional global funding conference that puts top-tier investors on stage to pitch to the finest tech startup founders, instead of the reverse. At Capital On Stage conferences, investors take the stage to deliver an unraveling five-minute presentation without slides to briefly explain who they are, their investment strategy, the markets they invest in, and what they bring to the table to support startups besides cash. The idea is to give startup founders better insights in what kind of investors (or funds) are out there. Earlier this year, Capital On Stage held its first international conference in Tel Aviv, Israel.
