Presentation Details:

We live in an age of rapid evolution and growth. The rise of the sharing economy, the democratization of technology and the opportunities available to make progress in our world keep increasing.

These advancements have also made it much easier than before to commit cyber-enabled fraud. To put it in perspective, the amount of money and resources lost to fraud worldwide last year is estimated at $3.7 trillion USD.

We founded Squanto earlier this year with the mission to prevent and detect fraud.” At Squanto, our goal is to help organizations around the world save time and money by improving their ability to fight fraud.

We use an industry-changing approach for real-time suspicious activity detection by combining years of industry experience with human-centric machine learning technology. Since our start, we have been growing extremely rapidly in terms of resources, backers and potential clients that see the value in our solution and our industry-redefinining approach. We were recently recognized as the winner of the TieCon Canada 2015 Pitchfest which helps confirm we are on to something special.
