美國金融科技公司Albert和Crux Informatics已經籌集了總計1.3億美元的資金，其中包括Albert的1億美元C輪融資和Crux Informatics的3600萬美元可轉換債券。總部位於加州的Albert公司“以幫助數百萬美國人實現財務健康為使命”，在C輪融資中籌集了1億美元。這輪融資由General Atlantic領投，CapitalG (Alphabet的獨立增長基金)、Portag3和QED參與。這使艾伯特的總融資達到1.73億美元。該公司表示，自2016年推出以來，已有超過500萬人使用了其服務，節省了超過5億美元。“在Albert，我們做了別人沒有做的事情:我們以極其合理的價格，從我們的人力金融專家團隊(也就是我們的天才)那裏提供個性化的金融建議。該指南可以自動付諸行動，使用我們從零開始構建的軟件。”“到目前為止，財務應用程序一直專注於創建預算和監控工具，但它們沒有幫助客戶采取行動，改善他們的財務健康狀況。我們創造了一個設計精美、簡單的產品來改善數百萬人的財務生活。簡化你的儲蓄，在專業指導下投資，並按需獲得建議。” Albert’s savings products are insured through its partner banks, Wells Fargo and Axos Bank. Its app facilitates banking services through Sutton Bank, and its Mastercard debit card is also issued by Sutton Bank. Apex Clearing Corporation provides clearing, execution and custody services for the advisory assets of Albert Investments clients. Products offered by Albert Investments are not FDIC insured. A New York-based data engineering company, Crux Informatics, closed a $36 million convertible note with its existing investors. Crux says its cloud-based technology stack and managed services enables organisations to reliably get the data they need, how they need it and where they need it. Its clients include hedge funds, asset managers, sovereign wealth funds, commodity trading advisors, banks, fund administrators, exchanges, large and small traditional and alternative data vendors, cloud data warehouse providers, and analytics platforms. Crux was founded in 2017 by fintech veteran Philip Brittan (CEO). Its backers include Citi, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Two Sigma. It employs 60+ people and has raised $45 million in funding to date. It previously raised $20 million in autumn 2018. “2020 was a milestone year for Crux, launching three products, doubling the number of data supplier partnerships and increasing by tenfold both the number of datasets delivered and the number of clients served on our platform,” says Brittan. “Today, Crux delivers over 14,000 datasets on an ongoing basis and has more than 700 million data files under management. With this financing, the company plans to significantly grow this amount to deliver any dataset from any data supplier to any data consumer via its platform.” The company will launch two new products in 2021: Crux Protect – an integrated data quality service, and Crux Wrangle – data engineering as a service.
