The company acquired Maza and will rebrand it as Flex Consumer to help owners manage commingled personal and business finances. Flex is integrating Maza’s entity-formation and payments tools to expand its product stack and onramp new customers from company creation through profit spending. The combined business sells a zero-fee business banking offering and plans consumer-facing products to address owners who use personal cards for business transactions. Since closing the deal in Q3, Flex reports over 50% growth driven by Maza’s consumer growth engine, user base, and solopreneur tooling.

Vero Technologies offers a lending-as-a-service (LAAS) platform that enables community and regional banks to originate, service and monitor wholesale or "floor plan" financing for dealers of manufactured goods such as auto, powersports and agricultural equipment. The platform leverages open banking technology to provide end-to-end loan lifecycle management, including underwriting, loan servicing, digital auditing, real-time inventory tracking, risk management and financial analytics. It also provides dealer- and supplier-facing tools to reduce manual interactions and aims to let banks introduce wholesale financing without overhauling existing systems or adding specialized headcount. Vero says it has achieved initial market penetration with minimal prior funding and currently serves community and regional banks across the country. The company will use the $8.5M Series A to accelerate growth of its LAAS offering, expand its footprint with community and regional banks, and enhance platform capabilities.

Caden provides users an encrypted “vault” that pulls analytics on movies watched, travel, purchases and other behavioral data and lets people opt in to monetize selected segments. Users connect services like Amazon, Uber and Netflix to Caden’s iOS app, view usage stats and choose which data to share or delete. The company anonymizes data before sharing with third parties and says consumers can opt out at any time. Caden has collected over a billion data points and has paid “hundreds of thousands” of dollars to users. It recently launched Caden AI, an assistant that uses shared behavioral data for personalized recommendations, and plans an enterprise product, Context AI, to let marketers query consumer behavior with text and visuals. The team is roughly 25 people based in New York, and the company intends to use new funding to expand that team, develop Caden AI and build more connections across retailers, loyalty programs, fitness platforms and streaming services. Caden is a user-centered personal data company building an Open Data platform that places users at the center of the data marketplace. Its mobile app aggregates first-party signals — what users watch, where they travel, and what they buy — and provides analytics on consumer profiles. Users can opt in to monetize their data in privacy-preserving ways, creating passive income streams without compromising privacy. For business customers, Caden offers ethically-sourced first-party data via a proprietary Knowledge Graph, with options for anonymized/aggregated consumption, Unique ID organization for ad tech, or identifiable use cases with explicit user consent. The company plans to launch the Caden platform publicly and further build out its New York City team. Caden’s flagship mobile product was in closed beta and slated for public release in Q1 2023, and the company had raised $6M in Seed funding, bringing total funds raised to $9.4M. Caden is a zero-party data platform built around an encrypted on-device vault and an API called Link that lets users pull data from accounts (e.g., e-mail, bank) into their vault. The vault surfaces insights to users and lets them grant, revoke, or alter permissions for specific companies. Users can opt to be compensated for sharing their data; the company likens the experience to a savings account. Caden came out of stealth with a $3.4M pre-seed round and plans to launch a beta mobile app in the next six months. The team began working on the technology nine months ago and is initially targeting consumer brands. The company positions itself as a privacy-first alternative as regulation (e.g., CCPA-style laws) makes third-party data collection more burdensome for companies.
