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.
FastBridge Learning helps teachers foster greater learning outcomes with evidence-based classroom assessments in math, reading, and behavior developed by a team of nationally-renowned researchers from the University of Minnesota which provide teachers the best data and real-time feedback to inform intervention and instruction decisions that are highly targeted to the individual learner. We offer the only online system (FAST) with both Computer-Adaptive Tests and Curriculum-Based Measurements: a multi-modal, multi-source model that generates more precise data about students` strengths and weaknesses and learning growth. We offer universal screening (3-5 times per school year) to pinpoint skills strengths/weaknesses, provide a predictor of a student`s reading and math abilities, and forecast future performance on high-stakes tests. Benchmark screening is used to identify which students are on target or at risk and thus need supplemental support or intensive intervention as part of a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) or Response to Intervention (RTI) program. We also offer ongoing progress monitoring to precisely measure learning growth. Our evidence-based assessments are highly efficient and accurate, so teachers spend less time testing or guessing and more time teaching.
