WePay started with a simple idea: an app that made it easy for friends to pool money for shared expenses like ski trips and club activities. Yet that simple idea wasn`t so simple to execute. It was 2008, and no payments system could easily and safely pool money from groups of people to pay out to others. So we built one. The team spent nearly two years negotiating contracts, dealing with regulators, and wrestling with bank integrations. We developed easy sign-up and frictionless checkout experiences. We also built one of the most advanced fraud detections systems around so we wouldn`t lose our shirts. And it worked. WePay started to get traction. There was just one problem.
Founded in early 2010, Co3 Systems is led by a team of privacy experts, security professionals, and proven software entrepreneurs. We are proud to have built products currently used by thousands of organizations in some of the most demanding environments in the world. The inspiration for Co3 came from years of experience at a leading financial services provider. The proliferation of data loss events and mounting regulatory requirements were rendering a manual and cumbersome response process – including spreadsheets shared via e-mail – ineffective. As a result, data loss events were consuming a huge amount of time across multiple parts of the organization, driving enormous expense in professional fees, and placing the company at risk for substantial fines and uncontained brand damage. Our solution is the result of close collaboration with security, compliance, and privacy professionals — including a panel of CISOs, CIOs, CPOs, and CFOs — from multiple industries. Co3 Systems is a private company headquartered in Cambridge, MA.
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.
