Rubikloud is a retail intelligence platform that transforms a traditional omni-channel retailer into a modern data-driven retailer. What does this mean? Founded in 2013, Rubikloud has been quietly working with some of the world’s largest retail conglomerates and brands on revolutionizing their data capabilities. The Rubikloud platform has already processed over 20 billion in transactions from 8 countries and over 5000 stores. Rubikloud aims to help the retailer through two data transformation stages: 1) We ingest, cleanse and convert traditional data sources into the Rubikloud big data compliant format. 2) Rubikloud platform enables the retailer to deliver true promotion, product, and price personalization. Not only does Rubikloud provide the machine learning to generate the personalization campaigns, but the platform also integrates directly into the execution pieces such as the email marketing system, promotional builders, and point of sale systems. Rubikloud is based in Toronto with an industry leading team from leading open source big data contributions, machine learning disciplines, and deep retail expertise. Rubikloud has raised $8.5 million led by Horizons Ventures over the past year and is on a 200% year over year growth rate.

We`re an e-tailer that manufactures and sells thousands of different items that allow our customers to express themselves, whatever their interests. Some of the products that we make include stickers, phone cases, keychains, jewelry, and automotive accessories. What started out as a small eBay business from a garage, spread into a house then moved to a tiny warehouse in a sketchy neighborhood, then across a freeway to a bigger and somewhat nicer office and now occupies an even larger space (we even have a television with a Roku box in our fine break room!). We think the business has morphed into something pretty neat!
Raise is a C2C marketplace for buying and selling gift cards online. Launched in February of 2013, the platform allows sellers to earn cash for their unwanted gift cards and gives buyers the opportunity to save at thousands of their favorite brands. The Raise app for iOS and Android is an extension of our real-time marketplace that enables you to make your money worth more, on the go. In the $400 billion prepaid retail market, more than 20% of gift cards and store credit go unused each year. Raise offers a way to reclaim this value and puts purchase power back into the hands of consumers. Raise gives consumers freedom and control over how they spend and save their money. While saving money is often associated with discounts, we are setting out to redefine the conversation. Every time a member interacts with our marketplace, we want them to feel as though they just gave themselves a raise.
