Two Sigma lidera la serie A de $ 12 millones para la red de conocimiento experto NewtonX

El conocimiento es el combustible de los negocios. Cada decisión requiere una comprensión completa de los datos subyacentes, y eso significa llegar no solo al personal de una organización para obtener información, sino también a expertos en el mundo. Los consultores de gestión, las agencias de investigación y los proveedores de datos ganan cientos de miles de millones de dólares por año al intentar responder preguntas clave para ejecutivos de negocios.

A veces tienen éxito, pero muchas veces, encontrar al experto adecuado puede ser desconcertante. Para las decisiones más importantes, tener múltiples expertos o incluso cientos de expertos que aporten su opinión podría ser fundamental para el éxito.

Germain Chastel y Sascha Eder conocen bien el problema. Ex consultores de McKinsey, trabajaron con algunas de las principales compañías de tecnología en el Valle para intentar responder sus preguntas, pero a menudo lucharon para hacerlo debido a los problemas únicos que enfrentan esas organizaciones. “Nos dimos cuenta de que era muy difícil encontrar expertos que pudieran enseñarles algo y que tuvieran las ideas relevantes”, explicó Chastel.

A principios de 2017, los dos abandonaron McKinsey y eventualmente unieron fuerzas con Anuja Ketan, y juntos formaron el trío NewtonX. NewtonX es una “plataforma de acceso al conocimiento” que intenta responder de manera inteligente las preguntas planteadas por los clientes empresariales. Los clientes responden a una serie de preguntas cuidadosamente calibradas para examinar y evaluar adecuadamente una consulta, y luego NewtonX la agrupa en la red de expertos para obtener información.

Esa red de respuesta rápida ha llamado la atención de Two Sigma Ventures, el ala de riesgo del fondo de cobertura algorítmico de alto vuelo, que llevó a una serie A de 12 millones de dólares a NewtonX, con sede en la ciudad de Nueva York. Eso es un seguimiento de una ronda de semillas de $ 3 millones codirigida por Third Prime Capital y Xfund el año pasado.

Hoy en día, la compañía ofrece dos líneas de productos principales. En primer lugar, se llama Expert Calls, que es similar a la oferta tradicional de redes de expertos de compañías como GLG. Aquí, un cliente responde a una serie de preguntas estructuradas para determinar a un solo experto con quien hablar y obtener comentarios.

El producto más interesante para mí, y el que representa el 70% de los ingresos de la startup en este momento, son los estudios de expertos. Con este producto, el objetivo es hacer una pregunta comercial a un número más amplio de expertos que pueden proporcionar una variedad de respuestas. Así, por ejemplo, NewtonX podría responder a una pregunta como la de cómo los CIO en general de las compañías Fortune 500 están presupuestando la ciberseguridad este año.

Cuando NewtonX se vuelve interesante es que no solo quiere facilitar casualmente estas llamadas y encuestas, sino que la startup quiere crear un verdadero gráfico de conocimiento que pueda responder mejor las preguntas más rápido con cada actividad en la plataforma. A medida que la plataforma se vuelve más inteligente respecto al conocimiento, la idea es que incorporar a un nuevo cliente o iniciar una nueva encuesta o pregunta sea más rápido, ya que la plataforma ya conocerá muchos de los matices de ese campo de negocios en particular.

Durante los dos años y medio transcurridos desde la fundación de la compañía, ha encontrado un amplio apoyo entre las empresas. Cuenta a Microsoft, 23 & Me, y Gartner como clientes públicos, y también tiene una lista de 20 corporaciones que ya están en la plataforma. Chastel me dijo que nueve de las diez principales empresas de consultoría de gestión también han utilizado los servicios de NewtonX, y muchas de las principales empresas de investigación también han utilizado el producto.

Los ingresos tempranos han permitido a la compañía expandirse temprano. Tiene 32 empleados en sus oficinas cerca de Grand Central, y Chastel me señaló que la mayoría de los empleados y la mayoría de los gerentes son mujeres. Dijo que la tecnología de la firma para identificar expertos en la web también es la base de sus propios esfuerzos de reclutamiento.

Con el nuevo financiamiento, la compañía pretende crecer a 100 empleados locales, y también ampliar los equipos de éxito de clientes y de expertos.

Una moneda global

norte

Facebook tiene algo seguro: el dinero de hoy no funciona para todos. Aquellos de nosotros que vivimos cómodamente en países desarrollados probablemente no veamos las dificultades que afectan a los trabajadores migrantes o los no bancarizados en el extranjero. Preocupados por los codiciosos prestamistas de día de pago y los servicios de remesas de alta tarifa, seleccionados por los atracadores y excluidos de los servicios financieros tradicionales, los pobres se empobrecen. Libra tiene el potencial de devolver más dinero de los padres que trabajan a sus familias y ayudar a las personas a retener el crédito, incluso si les roban sus posesiones físicas. Eso haría más para cumplir la misión de Facebook de hacer que el mundo se sienta más pequeño que todos los "Me gusta" de las noticias combinadas.

norte

Si Facebook tiene éxito y las legiones de personas cobran dinero en efectivo por Libra, él y los otros miembros fundadores de la Asociación de Libra podrían obtener grandes dividendos sobre los intereses. Y si de repente se vuelve súper rápido para comprar cosas a través de Facebook usando Libra, las empresas aumentarán su gasto en publicidad allí. Pero si Libra es pirateada o no es confiable, podría costarle dinero a muchas personas de todo el mundo mientras las agrupa en las criptomonedas. Y al ofrecer una plataforma Libra abierta, los desarrolladores con sombra podrían crear aplicaciones que no solo capturan la información personal de las personas como Cambridge Analytica, sino también su efectivo digital.

Facebook acaba de intentar reinventar el dinero. El próximo año, veremos si la Asociación de Libra puede lograrlo. Me tomó 4000 palabras para explicar Libra, pero al menos ahora puedes decidirte si te da miedo el criptografía de Facebook.

Facebook finalmente ha revelado los detalles de su criptomoneda Libra, que te permitirá comprar cosas o enviar dinero a personas con tarifas casi nulas.

Esto puede reemplazar transacciones en efectivo o débito para muchas personas. Sin embargo, será una venta difícil para los clientes de tarjetas de crédito en los Estados Unidos. Las tarjetas de crédito tienen 4 beneficios sobre Libra.
n1) Capacidad para gastar ahora y pagar más tarde. Incluso sin intereses al pagar dentro de un mes.
n2) Capacidad para ganar dinero en efectivo o recompensas. Los comerciantes están pagando tarifas y recompensas, pero en los Estados Unidos rara vez cobran al cliente por esas tarifas.
n3) Las transacciones no son finales como lo son con efectivo, débito y Libra. El cliente puede impugnar cargos fraudulentos y hacer que las transacciones se reviertan
n4) Se aceptan tarjetas de crédito en casi todos los Estados Unidos.

Dicho esto, este parece ser el mejor intento de crear una moneda criptográfica estable hasta el momento. Esto puede ganar mucha tracción en países donde las personas no tienen acceso a monedas estables y para las personas que no tienen acceso a crédito.

Todavía no he leído el documento. Creo que Libra va a tener una dificultad significativa para mantener la estabilidad de la moneda a menos que las tarifas de gas sean altas para desincentivar el arbitraje o que existan reglas estrictas para el comercio.

Hm ... ¿qué hay de enviar dinero a ultramar? Cuando viajas, necesitas hacer un cambio de moneda, pierdes un montón de dinero haciendo eso. 7% suena como una figura justa.

Compañías como TransferWise están reduciendo el costo de las transferencias internacionales y el acceso al dinero en el extranjero. No necesita monedas criptográficas para asumir la industria de las remesas. Solo necesita una empresa con menos gastos generales y más automatización para reducir los costos de transacción.

@Erik De Vries Transferwise lamentablemente sigue siendo realmente caro. Yo diría que debido a los requisitos reglamentarios impuestos a este tipo de empresas. A medida que se establezca la regulación, es probable que esta plataforma también se vuelva más costosa hasta que pueda ser verdaderamente descentralizada.

Microsoft in 2017 said it would eventually shut down Wunderlist, a company it acquired, in order to forge ahead with its own “to do” app. Desde entonces ha lanzado To-Do, como se llama la aplicación, en Windows, iOS, Android y la web y ha ampliado su conjunto de funciones. Hoy, también está llevando la aplicación a la Mac.

n

The company announced this morning its To-Do app is live on the Mac App Store, where it will support most of the core features right away, including the ability to create and manage tasks, work offline, share lists, utilize tags and more. It also will integrate with Microsoft Outlook to pull in your “Flagged” email list and will support integration with Planner soon, allowing you to see any items assigned to you.

n

La versión para Mac también aprovecha su nueva plataforma para ofrecer un puñado de atajos de teclado, como u23182 to minimize the app so it only displays the list view, and u23181 to return to viewing all your lists. You can click on a task’s text to edit it directly from the list view, as well.u00a0

n

n

It’s worth noting that Microsoft built this native Mac app using 100% AppKit, it says.

n

At Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference this month, the company announced a new set of tools — called Project Catalyst — that allow developers to bring their iPad apps to the Mac by leveraging their existing codebase. Se espera que esto lleve más aplicaciones de Mac a la Mac App Store de Apple a lo largo del tiempo, ya que simplifica el proceso de mantenimiento de múltiples aplicaciones para varias plataformas. Twitter, por ejemplo, dijo el viernes que aprovecharía Project Catalyst para devolver su aplicación a la Mac.

n

Microsoft, sin embargo, tomó una ruta diferente. We understand the company wanted to ship the new app to Mac users running older versions of macOS (macOS High Sierra and higher), which Project Catalyst wouldn’t allow.

n

A big question now is what today’s news will mean for Wunderlist — an app that has a near-perfect 4.9 out of 5 stars rating on the Mac App Store and is the No. 21 most popular free app in the store’s Productivity category.

n

As of today’s launch, Microsoft To-Do has seen a surge of downloads and jumped ahead of its predecessor — it now claims the No. 11 spot in the same category (as of the time of writing).

n

Microsoft había prometido anteriormente que no cerraría Wunderlist hasta que estuviera seguro de que había "incorporado lo mejor de Wunderlist en la tarea". Algunas de las preocupaciones iniciales de la compañía fueron agregar soporte para compartir listas en To-Do y desplegar soporte para todas las plataformas, lo que Microsoft ya ha hecho con el lanzamiento de esta aplicación para Mac.

n

We asked Microsoft if it will comment on its updated plans for Wunderlist as a result of this launch.

n

“We’re not currently working on new features for Wunderlist as we’re concentrating on our new app, Microsoft To-Do,” a spokesperson said. “Once we are confident that we have incorporated the best of Wunderlist into Microsoft To-Do, we will retire Wunderlist,” they added.

n

This is generally the same statement the company made years ago, so it doesn’t add much clarity to the situation.

n

In the meantime, the new Mac version of To-Do is a free download from the Mac App Store here.

Startup founders don’t typically launch a company as a get-rich-quick scheme. Most know that it will be a long, hard slog if they are to succeed. There will be lean years where the money is tight, and where they may personally struggle to pay their bills. They do it because they believe in the mission and they want to build a successful company, where, if all goes well, they could end up with a healthy amount of money.

n

But it takes a lot of hard work, long hours, tough times and a bit of luck to find your way through to a successful outcome, however you choose to define that. Early on every dollar you give yourself is money that’s not going into the business, and while you don’t want to starve yourself, neither do you want to run out of money, and those early dollars are especially valuable.

n

While the ultimate goal is a successful exit, not everyone gets there, and it begs the question, how much is fair to take out in the form of salary, especially in the early years when money is tight, and at what point is it reasonable to sell a bit of equity to take some money out of the business and live a more comfortable life. There are no hard and fast answers.

Alibaba is being heavily linked with a public listing in Hong Kong, which could reportedly happen in Q3 y raise up to $20 billion. The firm is keeping quiet on those rumors, but it did let slip a major hint after it announced plans for a stock split.

n

Filings uploaded today (but originally released Friday) announced a proposal for a one-to-eight stock split.

n

Shareholders are invited to vote on the offer ahead of the company’s annual general meeting on July 15. The initiative has already been approved by Alibaba’s board, which is recommending that shareholders follow suit.

n

The particularly interesting part of the filing is where Alibaba explains the reasons behind the stock split.

n

“The Board of Directors is proposing the Share Subdivision to increase the flexibility for the Company in future capital market activities. Among other reasons, the one-to-eight share subdivision will increase the number of shares available for issuance at a lower per share price, and the Board of Directors believes that this will increase flexibility in the Companyu2019s capital raising activities, including the issuance of new shares,” the filing reads.

n

That would appear to clear the way for a second listing for the company, which went public in a record U.S. IPO that raised more than $20 billion in 2014.

n

Alibaba declined to provide further comment when we asked.

n

Reports last week suggested that the Chinese e-commerce giant has already filed initial paperwork for the listing, which would become the largest such float on the Hong Kong stock exchange. The city has become a destination for Chinese tech IPOs since relaxed listing rules came into effect two years ago. Ironically, a lack of flexibility was cited as a key reason why Alibaba picked the U.S. over Hong Kong for its 2014 listing.

n

Tech firms that have gone public in Hong Kong include Razer, Xiaomi, Tencent’s China Literature y selfie app company Meitu. Despite the hype, some have been guarded of Hong Kong’s suitability for tech firms, which are often not profitable when listing. Indeed, Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan previously warned that “the U.S. [public markets] are probably more cognizant of tech companies” than Hong Kong retail investors.

Getting an H-1B skilled-worker visa is like winning the lottery u2014 literalmente: With the number of new visas issued each year capped at 85,000, most of this year’s over 200,000 applicants face disappointment. But if youu2019re already working in the United States, then youu2019ve already won the H-1B lottery, and that makes you a hot commodity.

n

With H-1Bs in short supply, successful companies frequently poach skilled workers. Everyone knows the tech sector thrives on this free exchange of people and ideas, so if another employer needs your skills, why not start working for them?

n

Well, not so fast. H-1B holders can work only for the company that originally sponsored their visa application. So if you want to change employers, youu2019ll need to u201ctransferu201d your H-1B.

n

That process used to be relatively straightforward but not in the Trump era. (Boundless recently underwent this process with an employee, so we understand the pain.) The denial rate for initial H-1B applications spiked over five-fold to 32 percent just in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, up from 6 percent in 2015. Crucially, the Trump administration is targeting u201ccontinuingu201d H-1B applications used by existing employees to either renew their H-1B or switch it to a new employer. Even tech giants like Amazon are now seeing double-digit rejection rates.

n

n

The bottom line: The days of getting an H-1B transfer quickly rubber-stamped are long gone, and that makes it vital to do whatever you can to keep the odds in your favor. The stakes are high u2014 if things go south, you could lose your right to live and work in the United States. Hereu2019s what H-1B holders need to know about the right u2014 and wrong u2014 ways to set about switching employers:

n

Donu2019t take your transfer for granted.

n

First, understand that an H-1B u201ctransferu201d is actually a brand new visa application, not a simple handover of your existing H-1B visa from one employer to another u2014 thereu2019s no such thing.

Every time I see a “the future of work is remote” article, I think to myself: “How backwards! How retro! How quaint!” That future is now, for many of us. I’ve been a fully remote developer-turned-CTO for a full decade. So I’m always baffled by people still wrestling with whether remote work is viable for their company. That jury rendered its verdict a long time ago.

n

One reason companies still struggle with it is that remote work amplifies the negative effects of bad practices. If everyone’s in one place, you can dither, handwave, vacillate, micromanage, and turn your workplace into an endless wasteland of unclear uncertainty, punctuated by ad-hoc last-second crisis meetings u2014 and your employees will probably still conspire against your counterproduction to get alguna cosa done, albeit much less than what they’re capable of.

n

If they’re remote, though, progress via conspiracy and adhocracy is no longer an option. If they’re remote, you need decisive confidence, clear direction, iterative targets, independent responsibilities, asynchronous communications, and cheerful chatter. Let me go over each of those:

n

Decisive confidence. Suppose Vivek in Delhi, Diego in Rio, and Miles in Berlin are all on a project. (An example I’m drawing from my real life.) It’s late your time. You have to make a decision about the direction of their work. If you sleep on it, you’re writing off multiple developer-days of productivity.

n

Sometimes they have enough responsibilities to have other things to work on. (More on that below.) Sometimes you don’t have to make the decision because they have enough responsibility to do so themselves. (More on that below.) But sometimes you have to make the business-level decision based on scant information. In cases like this, remember the military maxim: “Any decision is better than no decision.”

A number of promising women’s health tech companies have popped up in the last few years, from fertility apps to ovulation bracelets — even Apple has jumped into the subject with the addition of period tracking built into the latest edition of the watch. But there hasn’t been much in the way of innovación in women’s sexual health for decades.

n

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is now a 40-year-old invention and even the top pharmaceutical companies have spent a pittance on research and development. Subjects like polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis and menopause have taken a backseat to other, more fatal concerns. Fertility is itself oftentimes a mysterious black box as well, though a full 10% of the female population in the United States has difficulty getting or staying pregnant.

n

That’s all starting to change as startups are now bringing in millions in venture capital to gather and treat women’s health. While it’s early days (no unicorns just yet) interest in the subject has been jumping steadily higher each year.

n

To shine a better light on the importance of tech’s role in spurring more innovation for women’s fertility, we asked five VCs passionate about the space for their investment strategies, including Sarah Cone (Social Impact Capital), Vanessa Larco (NEA), Anu Duggal (Female Founders Fund), Jess Lee (Sequoia) and Nancy Brown (Oak HC/FT).

Buying a car is painful. Dealerships are the worst, and the options are endless. The rise of the Internet produced powerful tools for shoppers, but in the end, most buyers still have to trudge down to a car lot.

n

For this series of articles, TechCrunch spoke with several founders and investors attempting to rethink car buying. It’s clear these startups are the underdog in this fight. Most consumers buy cars the same way as their grandparents did and for good reason. Dealerships nationwide fought for years to enact laws and regulations that protect their businesses.

n

Several young companies are attempting to put the dealership online. Companies like Carvana, Shift, Vroom and Joydrive are putting the entire car buying process online, allowing customers to buy, trade-in and even test drive vehicles without talking to a salesman in an oversized golf pullover.

n

In the next part of this series, weu2019ll look at companies like Fair that are moving consumers away from purchasing and into short-term leases. Even automakers are trying something new. Tesla sells directly to consumers while Volvo, BMW, Mercedes and others are launching subscription options to give owners even more flexibility.

The three new dealerships

n

n

Several companies are building online car dealerships. Shoppers find and buy a vehicle solely through these sites, and often, the cars are delivered to the buyer. These online dealerships even take trade-ins.

n

Three services dominate this space, and they were all founded in 2013. Carvana, Shift, and Vroom hit the market at the same time but have experienced different paths. One thing is clear though: it takes hundreds of millions of venture capital money to build an online dealership.

n

Emily Melton, co-founder and managing partner, Threshold Ventures (formally known as DFJ Ventures), points to consumeru2019s changing expectations and an optimized process across all kinds of vehicles. She co-led Shiftu2019s Series A in 2014.

Matt is a Managing Editor at TechCrunch.

nn

He started at TechCrunch as a freelance writer in 2008 and moved up the ranks to become the Managing Editor in early 2017. Born and raised in the heart of the automotive world, he has a special place in his heart for mobility startups and gadgets.

nn

At TechCrunch he manages the editorial side of the company's events including TechCrunch Disrupt, TechCrunch Sessions and the company's various worldwide events. Previously he was a freelance writer at Engadget and EngadgetHD where he hosted podcasts until he was removed from that role after saying a swear word. He's very sorry and promises it won't happen again.

nn

His passions include emails, run-on sentences and following through with action items developed during a conference call. And woodwork.

Knowledge is the fuel of business. Every decision requires a full understanding of the data underlying it, and that means reaching out not only to an organizationu2019s own staff for insight, but also to experts in the wider world. Management consultants, research agencies, and data providers make hundreds of billions of dollars per year attempting to answer key questions for business executives.

n

Sometimes they are successful, but many times, finding the right expert can be vexing. For the most important decisions, having multiple experts or even hundreds of experts provide their opinion might be critical to success.

n

Germain Chastel and Sascha Eder know the problem well. Former McKinsey consultants, they worked with some of the top technology companies in the Valley attempting to answer their questions u2014 but oftentimes struggled to do so given the unique problems that confront those organizations. u201cWe realized it was really hard to find experts who could teach them something and had the insights that were relevant,u201d Chastel explained.

n

In early 2017, the two left McKinsey and eventually joined forces with Anuja Ketan, and together the trio formed NewtonX. NewtonX is a u201cknowledge access platformu201d which attempts to intelligently answer questions posed to it by business clients. Clients answer a carefully calibrated series of questions to properly vet and scope a query, and then NewtonX farms it out to it network of experts for insight.

n

That rapid-response network has now gotten the attention of Two Sigma Ventures, the venture wing of the high-flying algorithmic-trading hedge fund, which led a $12 million Series A round into New York City-based NewtonX. Thatu2019s a follow up to a $3 million seed round co-led by Third Prime Capital and Xfund last year.

n

Today, the company offers two main product lines. First is what it calls Expert Calls, which are similar to the traditional expert network offering of companies like GLG. Here, a client answers a series of structured questions to determine a single expert to talk to and get feedback from.

n

The more interesting product to me, and the one representing 70% of the startupu2019s revenue right now, is Expert Surveys. With this product, the goal is to ask a business question to a wider number of experts who might provide a variety of responses. So, for instance, NewtonX could potentially answer a query such as how CIOs at large Fortune 500 companies are budgeting for cybersecurity this year.

n

Where NewtonX gets interesting is that it doesnu2019t want to just casually facilitate these calls and surveys, but instead, the startup wants to build out a true knowledge graph that can better answer questions faster with each activity on the platform. As the platform gets smarter about knowledge, the idea is that on-boarding a new client or initiating a new survey or question will be faster since the platform will already know many of the nuances of that particular field of business.

n

Over the two and a half years since the companyu2019s founding, it has found wide support among businesses. It counts Microsoft, 23&Me, and Gartner as public clients, and also has a list of 20 corporates already on the platform. Chastel told me that nine of the top ten management consulting firms have also used NewtonX services, and many top research firms have also used the product.

n

Early revenues has allowed the company to expand early. It has 32 employees at its offices near Grand Central, and Chastel noted to me that a majority of employees and a majority of managers are women. He said that the firmu2019s technology to identify experts on the web is also the basis for their own recruiting efforts.

n

With the new funding, the company intends to grow to 100 head count locally, and also expand out is client success and expert success teams.
