Corporate venturing units at the inaugural Tech Scout Challenge have voted Unveillance as the most investable entrepreneur and Flooved as having given the best presentation.
More than 50 corporate venturing units managing more than $5bn selected the two winners out of 15 finallists at the challenge, held in the UK at the office of law firm Baker Botts (see picture) and organised by Global Corporate Venturing and in partnership with American Security Challenge.
Unveillance has developed the first software-as-a-service (SaaS) botnet intelligence platform. Leveraging completely passive monitoring, without the use of any on premises hardware, software or agent install, Unveillance’s platform is able to assess whether an organization, country and/or government’s network is actively compromised by malware and thus participating in a botnet infrastructure at a 100% zero false positive rate. The intelligence platform is able to provide alerting and metrics on severity, frequency and scope of infection as well as display successful remediation efforts.
Flooved is a fast-growth, globally scalable electronic publishing technology business with very low customer acquisition costs. Flooved is the world’s first online-only textbook platform providing university students with access to their entire academic content for a monthly subscription. Flooved is built and is being tested in-house and has 12 publishers signed up so far, including Bloomsbury.
