Powder Named to the 2024 CB Insights’ List of the 100 Most Innovative Fintech Startups

Powder

Powder, a fintech company that creates generative AI agents to automate time-consuming tasks, enabling wealth management firms to focus on serving clients and growing their businesses, today announced that it has been named by CB Insights to the seventh annual Fintech 100, showcasing the 100 most promising private fintech companies in the world. “We know that artificial intelligence is the future of wealth management, so it is an honor to see our own innovations in this important area recognized independently through inclusion in the Fintech 100,” said Kanishk Parashar, Chief Executive Officer of Powder. “This is a credit to our entire team and our clients.” The Fintech 100 primarily includes early- and mid-stage startups driving innovation across fintech. CB Insights’ research team picked winning companies based on CB Insights datasets, including deal activity, industry partnerships, team strength, investor strength, employee headcount, and proprietary Commercial Maturity and Mosaic scores. CB Insights also dug into Analyst Briefings submitted directly by startups. “The 2024 Fintech 100 winners are high-momentum companies shaping the future of financial services,” said Laura Kennedy, Principal Analyst at CB Insights. “Unsurprisingly, this year’s cohort is deploying AI across a wide variety of solutions. But they’re also diverse in their reach in emerging and developing economies and focus on everything from fraud prevention to financial inclusion.” Powder saves wealth management firms time and money by parsing complex financial and estate documents in seconds and providing advisors with enriched, ready to use extracts. Powder’s AI agents are as accurate as a human – or better – using its hallucination detection that can pinpoint important information in minutes, not hours, freeing advisors and analysts to focus on client service and work that provides a direct value to clients and prospects. The technology also offers a generative-AI chat feature for each of the firms’ clients, allowing analysts to rapidly obtain answers to important data questions, akin to chatting with an AI assistant who can instantly answer questions about a specific client by consulting financial documents. Powder’s AI agents can be deployed across multiple areas of the wealth management industry, from proposal generation to portfolio analysis. Most importantly, the technology is secure with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

The Reservoir Unveils the First On-Farm Robotics Incubators

Hawk Tower / The Reservoir

Today at FIRA USA 2024, the Reservoir announced the first-ever on-farm robotics incubators, Reservoir Farms, set to open in the Central and Salinas Valleys in early 2025. This pioneering initiative significantly shifts how agricultural technology innovates through real-world testing environments, world-class resources, and critical industry partnerships. California agriculture faces critical challenges, including labor availability and cost, import competition, increased regulation, water scarcity, and climate-related challenges, including extreme weather. These challenges have spurred significant advancements in agricultural precision, automation, mechanization, and robotics in recent years. Despite advancements, early-stage agtech projects lack critical ecosystem support, like connecting directly with growers, testing and validating their solutions, and accessing dedicated shop space and farmland. These gaps hinder capital efficiency and the development of critical solutions that meet the agricultural sector's needs. Initial projects at the incubators will focus on early-stage agricultural innovations in automation and robotics, including rovers and drones, that accelerate the development of breakthrough solutions to the opportunities and imperatives faced by California farms producing high-value specialty crops, such as labor shortages, profitability, and adopting climate-smart technologies. Western Growers Association, a key advocate for advancing agricultural innovation, will provide financial and operational support as an anchor partner. Anchor educational partners like UC ANR, Hartnell College, and Merced College will play a crucial role in innovation and workforce development, preparing the next generation of agricultural researchers, professionals, and innovators to drive the future of farming in California. HawkTower, a venture capital firm investing in early-stage startups developing breakthrough innovations for California’s environmental and industrial imperatives, is also an anchor partner. “The launch of Reservoir Farms is a critical step forward in ensuring the future resilience of California’s agriculture and across the Central Coast and Central Valley,” said Danny Bernstein, CEO of the Reservoir and Managing Partner of HawkTower. “By placing incubators directly on the farm, we enable innovators to test, iterate, and scale solutions in real-world conditions as a more immediate path to advance farming communities.” A New Model to Incubate AgTech Innovation The idea for Reservoir Farms emerged from extensive industry research and consultations with over 50 organizations in the specialty crop sector. Key insights uncovered critical gaps in startups' access to real-world testing environments, shop space, and direct relationships with growers—factors severely hindered capital efficiency and posed a formidable barrier to innovation. “Our goal is to eliminate the friction points that have historically slowed down the development of new agtech solutions,” said Walt Duflock, Senior Vice President of Innovation at Western Growers Association. “Reservoir Farms offers a new model, where startups can work side-by-side with growers to test their technologies, iterate in a low-stakes environment, and build scalable solutions to improve agriculture's operations.” Supports Thriving Agtech Ecosystem and Job Creation The Reservoir Farms initiative also reflects a broad-based collaboration between key educational institutions, industry players, and local communities to ensure the next generation of agricultural professionals is equipped with the skills needed to support the region’s growing agtech sector. Supporting partners include Central Coast Small Business Development Center (SBDC), Communities Organized for Relational Power in Action (COPA), Digital NEST, Farmhand Ventures, Merced County Farm Bureau, Milano Technical Group, Monterey Bay DART (Drone Automation & Robotics Technology), Monterey Bay Economic Partnership, Monterey County Farm Bureau, Tesserakt Ventures, and The Vine. “As robotics and automation become more integral to California agriculture, it’s essential to have facilities like Reservoir Farms embedded within the farming community,” said Gabriel Youtsey, Chief Innovation Officer at UC ANR. “By bridging the gap between lab-based research and real-world application and accelerating tech transfer, Reservoir Farms can help build the workforce and technology needed to address the critical challenges on the farm, from labor shortages to climate change.” A Focus on Specialized Services and Real-World Testing in California's Agricultural Heartland Reservoir Farms will open its first two locations in Salinas Valley and Merced in the first quarter of 2025. Participants can lease testing fields and shop space without the burden of multi-year leases, giving them the flexibility needed to scale. The incubators will offer fully equipped R&D workshops, secure storage for expensive equipment, and customized, pre-planted specialty crop fields for testing. These facilities will be complemented by Reservoir Farms’ co-working spaces, meeting rooms, and a robust demo day schedule designed to connect startups with growers, investors, and other key stakeholders. In addition, the Western Growers Association’s validation process will provide startups with a quantitative “scorecard” that offers crucial metrics on scalability, efficacy, and financial viability. This validation, combined with UC ANR’s field testing, will help startups refine their products and receive a critical stamp of approval that builds trust with growers and ensures a smoother path to commercialization. About the Reservoir: The Reservoir is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit building tech incubators for California’s future. Founded in 2024, the Reservoir creates spaces where startups, researchers, organizations, and corporations can develop and test innovations beyond Silicon Valley, focusing on rural areas like the Central and Salinas Valleys. The Reservoir drives economic growth, workforce development, and environmental resilience across California’s agricultural heartlands. Learn more at www.thersvr.org.

PathAI Unveils New Features on AISight Image Management System: Introducing Guided Algorithm Review and Z-Stack Image Support

PathAI

PathAI, a global leader in AI-powered digital pathology, today announced the launch of two new features on its AISight® 1 Image Management System (IMS): Guided Algorithm Review and Z-Stack Image Support. These enhancements reflect PathAI’s ongoing commitment to empowering pathologists with innovative tools that enhance pathology interpretation, optimize laboratory operations, and lay the foundation for broader adoption of AI tools in the field of pathology. The Guided Algorithm Review feature is designed to help pathologists streamline and enhance case evaluations by highlighting potential Fields of Interest (FOIs) identified by algorithms. TumorDetect 2, PathAI’s AI product, will be the first to incorporate this functionality, highlighting key areas of interest. By automatically pinpointing these critical areas, the feature allows pathologists to focus their initial review on the regions that require the most attention. Key Features of the Guided Algorithm Review: Gallery of FOIs: A visual gallery of algorithm-detected fields of interest provides an intuitive way for pathologists to navigate to key tissue areas requiring further analysis. Click-Through Review: Enables systematic, step-by-step navigation through regions highlighted by the AI’s predictions, such as areas with high tumor concentration or biomarker quantification, potentially streamlining the review process and enhancing thoroughness.

With Kotani Pay's extensive reach across over 8 African countries, the integration provides access for projects to scale into different markets, supporting established and emerging initiatives. The significance of this partnership is underscored by a recent Chainalysis report indicating that stablecoins account for approximately 43% of the total transaction volume in the Sub-Saharan African region. Felix Macharia, CEO of Kotani Pay, stated, “Our goal extends beyond providing access to Web3 assets in Africa. We are committed to empowering entrepreneurs and developers building Web3 products that drive economic growth across the continent. By integrating with the Lisk ecosystem, we offer dApps, DeFi platforms, and exchanges a seamless on-ramp and off-ramp solution, allowing them to unlock real value and expand their reach to underserved markets. This partnership aligns perfectly with Lisk's vision, and we are excited to support the growth of innovative solutions in the space.” Integrating Kotani Pay's API and widget will facilitate seamless transactions, bridge real-world use cases, and enable faster, more efficient fiat on- and off-ramping. This enhancement aims to drive crypto adoption in Africa while increasing the utility of Lisk's infrastructure technology, solving a critical challenge for developers building on the Lisk protocol. In March, Lisk partnered with CV Labs to launch a VC-curated blockchain incubator program to support African entrepreneurs developing blockchain solutions tailored to the African market.
