Hub71 Fundraising Roadshow - 11 Dec

[Music] so staes we have a big mission which is to make money accessible for all we started working on this problem about four years ago because we noticed that despite the advancement that we see in technology today there's one thing that hasn't change which is money today we spending a lot of money to transfer money cross border it takes a long time to settle this money and most importantly there's a lot of people still lack access to these Financial Services we believe that by bringing stable coin um and dollars on chain we can completely change that we can help people to move money faster cheaper and give access to financial services to all so the way that we do is like we connecting a global St coin balance with um with local payment rails so that basically mean that you get the speed of stable coins while you're getting the security and convenience of local payment ra um we've been you know eating great numbers in the past 12 months we process $200 million in total payment value we generated 1.2 million in revenue and we spend no money on marketing we have a very simple business model whenever we move money we make money so whenever you buy swap send or spend stable coin we take our clip we are globally licensed we have licenses in Australia Canada um Europe and soon UAE out of adgm and thanks to our Global partnership with we're now going to be ready to grow we have a great team we're backed by great investors such as GFC jump and F Collective and we we're announcing a series a we looking at raising $20 million to establish our presence in Abu Dhabi so thank you very much if you want to talk to me or like you know just like try the product you can scan the QR code and give it a try um and yeah great to be here have a good day [Music] hey everyone uh as M mentioned I'm Ahab baz co-founder and CEO of breach insurance we are a fully regulated insurance carrier and we underwrite the complex vast and underserved crypto industry uh since I founded the company in 2019 the market cap of the industry was under 150 billion we're 5 years in and it's over three trillion yet options for insurance uh and capacity for insurance remain very scarce uh from the beginning we've been building capabilities that have been allowing us to launch products and enter new markets at a rapid Pace starting out with the retail infrastructure growing into institutional infrastructure as the industry matured uh all enabled by global growth uh some key Milestones that we've head along the way one launching an AM best rated fully reinsured program in the US uh with with a major reinsurance partner getting our own full full stack insurance carrier licensed um and and obviously setting up an operational Hub here in abudhabi with with Hub 71 one of the things that our infrastructure allows us to do that's really critical to us and unique to us is actually embed custom embedded Insurance to crypto native platforms uh this can happen both through front-end user experiences as well as backend Integrations uh through our apis one example of these Integrations is through Kinto to layer one um eth that eth Network that allows users to get access to insurance for every single wallet that they have for the loss destruction and um uh a loss and destruction of crypto assets um we have a great team highly technical team we've got an awesome set of investors that we're really proud of and we're here raising our series a we'll be raising 10 to 12 million uh and it's going to capitalize us it's going to allow us to execute on deals existing in our pipeline uh activate distribution Partnerships that we already have expand our products uh increase our insurance limits and of course establish a major presence here in the GCC uh thank you for your time please connect with me on LinkedIn and uh check us out at breed insured.com [Music] hi everyone my name is Christian Calderone and I'm the CEO at super fine previously I served as an executive at ketchup which was was acquired by Ubisoft kicki which was acquired by sront and dots which was acquired by Take 2 I've also served as an adviser for app Loven CH boost and others eight years ago we created the game 2048 which had billions of downloads back then user acquisition was easy there were just a few ad networks that you needed to work with and tracking was nearly perfect today the opposite is true there are there are many ad networks that you need to work with and tracking is far less from perfect let me walk you through what it's like to publish a game at scale sorry this is the wrong presentation um basically you need to create hundreds of campaigns across dozens of AD networks um in order to uh launch your game at scale uh super fine the way the reason why it's different is because simply you just upload your advertising creative type in your camp P objective and then super fine will automatically create ads for you across dozens of AD networks simultaneously so you can manage them in one place uh we've worked uh with uh uh Yuga Labs um to launch the game duky Dash which hit top five in the US and we've also helped axi Infinity reduce their cost per install by over 70% we're trusted by an incredible group of companies that are the top in our industry such as Yuga labs and we're backed by an incredible group of investors like hub71 who believe in our vision our team has worked together for over 10 years across multiple companies uh we've worked together to solve user acquisition challenges scale games and we've exited several companies together we're raising $6 million to transform digital advertising thank you very much [Music] good afternoon hi my name is Sean Kin I'm the CEO and founder of Green Gauge uh I'm a banker by background I set up a bank Within credit s in the UK and I also worked as the London CEO of the First Bank in the world to do crypto uh crypto or banking is essentially two things liquidity making payments and moving money and the pricing of risk or credit in lending however there are some challeng in these two issues are for banks today smmes in particular small mediumsized businesses don't get as much lending as they deserve in the UK there's a gap of 22 billion Sterling in the GCC an even bigger $250 billion Gap according to the World Bank in addition banks are drisking so 140,000 businesses lost their accounts in the UK alone last year both of these problems are hindering economic growth off this backdrop a new asset class has emerged called private credit this is now over $2 trillion issued primarily by credit funds or non-bank lenders directly to businesses and this costs typically higher than Bank lending Green Gauge leans into these challenges as an opportunity we open accounts for businesses using banking as a so as partners so we're not a bank ourselves and we also facilitate lending on our platform connecting borrowers and lenders directly with private credit we've done already over a quar billion dollars of lending we love the spirit of innovation here in the UAE and in Abu Dhabi just last month we worked with coinbase greeng Gauge through the first Live digital transaction digital debt transaction globally uh which is something that's uh hugely Innovative in our space and we we're confident can save upwards of 1% on the cost of borrowing and private credit uh we're keen to lean into this growth and and obviously my ask of you is to engage uh we're ke to meet great businesses looking to borrow on our platform or lend and we're also looking to progress our series A to hire additional staff here in our Abu Dhabi office and also to go ahead with licensing my contact details are as above thank you very much for your time and I'd love to hear from you thank [Music] you hi everyone uh my name is Wasim FAS co-founder CEO of chainsight um so I'm going to be talking about data in web 3 so we are currently based in in Abu Dhabi we're locally grown and we have 15 team members right now across from us to Japan and headquarter based in Abu Dhabi when we talk about data itself imagine about you know Google AWS Amazon all this how are they making money right uh they're sucking your data and when it comes to data in web 3 it's also happening and that's the issue therefore what we're trying to do is we're trying to give back the data as web does and when we look into the market itself it's about 12.5 billion as a market that's a huge number so what we do is we do provide financial data de to fin Finance market prices real-time data real world assets which Abu Dhabi really is fun you of so when it comes to what we do as chain site we're actually a Oracle providers data Hub onchain data Hub and what we do is Oracle for the People by the people what what does this mean it's actually a platform where actually projects deploys their own data and they own the data to actually produce another revenue streams so we have been working a lot with the market and the crypto space blockchain space we have been already top 10 in the market since the release of July and we have been working with more than 100 protocols so what we're trying to do right now among hub71 and Among Us is actually we're going to be running down upcoming coming series a investment opportunity and I'm glad to have you guys on board as well as if you haven't worked with us as a project you're missing out so please do give us a hands up thank [Music] you my name is k I'm the general manager for xb2 in the minist what a year it has been 2024 and before we start I wanted to go through some of the numbers we've seen in the digital asset space more than hundred billion dollars were deployed in the ETFs on bitcoin that were launched this year this is the ever fastest the fastest growing ETF ever launched a thousand professional firms have invested in those ETFs and more than $190 billion do are in stable coins today more importantly the UAE has been Paving the way and that's one of the reasons we're here they rank third in the Mina region in terms of volumes more than $30 billion dollar have been traded in crypto and more importantly more than 30% of the population has touched digital assets this has been favored to the due to the regulatory environment may be here in Abu Dhabi or in Dubai being forward-looking and uh embracing digital assets xbto has been around since 2015 which is a very long time in digital assets we're a market leader uh when it comes to crypto derivatives and and asset management we've been regulated in Bermuda since 2018 and we have more than 90 plus professionals across the clubes with an office here in adgm Abu Dhabi our vision is to bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets by delivering an Institutional grade investment platform are offering three verticals where our DNA is in the asset management space we offer hedge funds in crypto structure notes treasury Management Services we have a capital markets business when it comes to liquidity provisioning Market making and tokenization and finally all of this can be found on what we call our investment Hub which is our digital platform that allows for custody and trading our track record $460 million of assets under management we've have 270 plus clients and we trade around $20 billion a year the team comes from trafi has been around in the space for a very long time and we look forward to telling you more scan the UR code and feel free to meet us at our boost which is just outside thank you very [Music] much yep hi uh my name is ziger and I'm today want to tell you about our endtoend platform as a service to bring your business on chain and basically we believe that blockchain is one of these Force multiplier Technologies like AI or cloud before that that if you do it right it can be super efficient it can be like really big boost for your business and competitive Advantage but if it's done wrong then you can basically sync infinite amount of money into that so that's what we're here to solve so basically we brought all our experience on both building ethereum as core developers but also building like both tread and Finch products before that to bring you the endtoend platform the product to use to integrate the blockchain right and it's called basically end to endend because we help you around the stack vertically from the correct infrastructure and correct Hardware to choose to state-of-the-art L2 scaling Technologies is connected to ethereum so you can get all the goodies like stable coins and everything there to basically uh what we call the blueprint that's it's basically blueprint for your business that is like maybe 70% already there we are live uh in production already and we are supporting customers from basically executive Consulting toig figure out where the use cases match to PC to supporting your life so your product doesn't go down whether it's a Black Friday Christmas or I don't know T Swift concert or something like this and uh basically yeah we already life our customers usually have like about 90% cost reduction uh and then we basically build it to some extent what we would want to have when we were working on Finch and trfi like I was launching Finch products in Africa and it took about a year to bring a product life so with platform like this it could have been like a couple of month instead including all the compliance necessary and again we are as a company we have quite a lot of customers we are profitable and uh yeah basically if you want to learn more find me or go to gateway. FM or Scout the QR codes thanks so [Music] much I'm here talk about our 8-year journey in 100 seconds so let's start this really quick my name is Kaz and the K of bit toi Spain's largest crypto Exchange in 2015 crypto was really weird very unsafe and just hard to get to so we sought out to solve this problem by creating a super app that millions of people are enjoying in 100 different countries but at the time no VC would touch us we were radioactive and so we went to our users and launched an initial coin offering and and raised 23 million in 3 minutes 2 22 we had to keep them happy so we brought in more projects to launch their own initial Cent offerings through the bitam Launchpad but we also launched bimy earn where our users can let their crypto Holdings work for themselves 2023 and 2024 was all about profitability in scale we are a profitable company this year we're we just crossed the 21 million Revenue Mark and because the European Union has decided to self-regulate and make crypto legal the banks have become competition but instead of competing with them we asked them why don't you join our company and invest so we raised 15 million for the first time and these are the logos that we're proud to have in our cap table especially of 71 we also launched our orderbook exchange and a crypto lending product this gives us more robust um product offering for our clients next year will be our road to unicorn we're unlocking 400 million of the bank's non- crypto users through bitto's crypto wallet and liquidity infrastructure will cap the year with 50 million in Revenue crypto and blockchain are rewiring the 7 trillion Financial market and we're proud to be doing this globally through Abu Dhabi we're raising 40 million EUR of which 30 has been already committed and we're open till January 2025 unless you tell us otherwise but let's be friends please reach out anytime [Music] Salam alikum everyone my name is simed and I'm here to tell you a bit about base 2 so we're on a mission to Future proof the manufacturing industry and the reason we need to do this is because 20% of every dollar in manufacturing is lost due to in efficiency that amounts to about $8 trillion lost globally the reason why this happens is because most manufacturing software is stuck in the Windows 95 era there it's literally 20 to 30 years old limits collaboration and doesn't integrate with any of today's Tech STX uh and we see this happen across the manufacturing industry however we're focused on what we call chemicals so everything from Pharmaceuticals to Specialty Chemicals on the left hand side uh the market is valued at approximately 11 billion globally so across North America and amum across 90,000 uh manufacturing facilities so that's why you came up with base 2 um in in short it allows us to um use AI to generate recommendations for manufacturing Engineers on what exactly they should do to improve their manufacturing process so literally which levers to turn which knobs to pull um and this is the architecture so basically we take their data we use it to simulate uh in real time how their manufacturing works and then issue recommendations and optimizations we've done this uh with Fortune 100 companies including Johnson and Johnson where we save them 5.

5 million USD uh annually and uh in terms of our footprint where ca company we just closed uh so we raised a total of $17.5 million across North America and Europe and as you can see we're uh worldwide in terms of operations um we're backed by a team of 16 people uh we're repeat Founders based out of Canada and uh uh our CEO and myself are based out of uh Abu Dhabi here so thank you please reach out if you're interested and uh we'd love to [Music] connect hi I'm Cameron co-founder of terx you and I generate 2.3 billion tons of waste last year that's an awful lot of Burge cifas and unfortunately we have this situation and only 9% of our waste is actually recycled at plastic especially so but don't worry we're actually doing something about it right you and I we recycle every day so then why will we have 5 billion tons of waste by 2050 I'm sorry to tell you that recycling is actually broken uh so if we want a different outcome we need to do something new we need some superhero help from Trax and our transformational technology where we combine incompatible waste types together to make reliable end products that means no segregation no washing and no chemical additives our solution is modular and highly scalable these are some of the products that we can produce so how are we going to save the planet with a new generation of recycled plastic pallets made from the waste that we create pallets are the backbone of global logistics there global demand it's a fast growing market and the fundamentals are very strong I'm pleased to say we'll have our first production line operational in Abu dhab in q1 producing tertile with adq and adne and beyond that we'll be growing the business with our pallets we've already done Regional testing with fmcg Titans to validate the concept the team behind TRX has been in business success successfully already for 10 years together and so not it's not often that unique opportunities come along to make a difference so I'd love to invite you to come on that Journey with us if you're interested we're looking for growth funding or we're looking for Waste as a resource and of course we're looking for buyers so I just end by saying Help Us create value from waste the terax way thank you [Music] hi everyone I'm Alfredo I'm the one of the co-founders ofos and today I want to talk to you about three things so the world is moving past the point of no return emissions are going up and not down and we could have stopped it all today yes we could have stopped it all today so how well the answer is green hydrogen it's a green molecule that can be used for a wide vary array of industrial processes as well as sustainable fuels this means we could have used or met all of the global energy needs with zero carbon so why didn't we do it are we evil no just rational so the price of green hydrogen is four times more expensive than that of alternative fuels and that's because of two main things from one sign the capex the cost of these machines is too too expensive especially outside of China while the whole efficiency is just too low we are the first company globally to address both challenges at the same time we are five times more cheap than than any European competitor surpassing Chinese competitors while maintaining 94% efficiency a 20% effici increase across the board so how do we do it we have a proprietary Catalyst that is double the activity of platinum while being 50 times cheaper this means that with the same Electro surface area we produce double the hydrogen now this means that we can only produce hydrogen more efficiently at a higher capacity but at a fraction of the cost for all of you this means you can save 30% of your cost of green hydrogen this means $1 per kilogram or more imagine if you went to the petol station you get your fuel and you save $1 it's a huge and massive difference so how can we bring it here to Abu Dhabi we're developing a 20 kilowatt prototype with repol and we're looking for partners to deploy at 100 kilowatt here in Abu Dhabi so help us make the uie hydrogen a reality thank you everyone [Music] hi my name is Paul mahat and I'm the CEO and co-founder of atmo cooling we're facing a crisis growing population means growing demand for food and energy but it's getting hotter and drier which means it's more difficult for our lands and assets to be productive atmo cooling's technology platform is centered around our patented spray control technology this lets us reduce air temperatures by up to 15 15° C using saline Waters like seawater or desalinization brine reject we combine our proprietary instrumentation with site selection and control algorithms in order to monitor replicate and supercharge natural atmospheric cooling we've already demonstrated this Tech at uh our site here in Abu Dhabi with significant cooling effects and we can scale this to more than 300 million hectares globally this is a combined area the size of India for agriculture we increase productivity we decrease the demand for irrigation we extend growing seasons and we make crops like corn wheat potatoes and onions commercially viable Beyond a we can increase the production of solar power and we can reduce the energy needed for air conditioning and urban environments we do all this while providing desalinization plants with a viable Pathway to zero liquid discharge protecting our groundwater assets and Marine environments we have a team with experience across environmental science Aerospace and thermodynamics we've got Decades of experience and venture-backed and large scale engineering projects we've hit a number of Milestones to date we're fully funded to grow the team and continue operations at our test site here but we need your help to identify folks working in commercial farming utility scale solar and those who need help to manage brine from desalinization we're going to open up a funding round in 2025 but until then remember it's not just cool it's atmo [Music] cool the more we develop the more we destroy the building materials that we've been using to build us up are now tearing us apart the culprit the worst offender calcium based cements 200 years we've been burning rocks and it's responsible for 9% of all Global emissions there has to be a better way introducing partana the Magnesium based cement that does not need Heating and absorbs CO2 at the same time from the atmosphere magnesium based cements have been around for 2,000 years it's built the Great Wall of China the Brooklyn Bridge the pantheon and today our technology has made it fit for the 21st century we're approved in all International building codes we're patented globally and we approved Vera credits so how do we scale this 60% of all the brine in the world is produced right here in this region Pana can take this brine a waste material that's harmful to all biodiversity and Source magnesium for good are our cement has been used to build homes that have the same nature positive impact as planting 12,000 trees the cost is competitive this is my home the Bahamas the front line of climate change this is my home today and called the most exciting thing in construction in the last 20 years 20 years ago I was leading this team to three national championships in the NBA this is my championship team today made up of Engineers scientists industry experts that believe in this Mission I've always had great coaches and mentors I'm grateful for and in the world of business is no different today so my ask of you is to join this mission of us carbing decarbonizing the construction industry the 400 billion industry of construction by helping us raise $20 million to build our first factory here in Abu Dhabi together we can change the way the world builds for good thank [Music] you Salam alaykum everyone hello my name is abdulaziz B and I'm here to remove CO2 and green the desert who here knows what this is who's seen this before that's a scene from Mad Max that is a very very plausible future it's a future where water is scarce resources we fighting over them and it's a scorched Earth this is a future that can happen but that's a future that we're here to stop from happening a hive Geo and the way we're doing this is we're working on two things we're working on engineered biochar that we derive from biogenic feed stalker agricultural waste and we charge that with bioactive compounds what you end up getting is material that you can stick in desert sand and that removes CO2 for over 1,000 years and locks it away safely but at the same time it accelerates soil creation and it greens the desert today we're running our first facility in Alin in collaboration with a state-owned company and what you can see here is Sparky which is our first pyzer and we ran the first soil trials where we saw a 550% increase in yield where we took desert sand and greened it we're a multidisiplinary team of scientists engineers commercial people from all over the world and the top universities in the world a team that truly brings this out of the lab to make it a reality and to put it in the ground and to scale this and green our desert s we work with customers and partners and investors from around the region and from around the world as well and this is a story that starts in the UAE however it has Global impact and how we scale this globally and license our Tech thank you very much we'd love to talk to you and connect we're starting a funding round as well and we're looking for Investments partnership and R&D [Music] gratic is building an anot technology unicorn based on the world's strongest lightest and most conductive material ever known to human being called the graphine and we are crack we are cracking the code to industrialize this and to offer this globally into into multi sectors so graphine has been hyped after Nobel Prize inys 2010 in the past years graph Matic has been transforming graphine from being a hype to be in real applications in global markets and we already launched Cabo products in global markets and the demand is increasing massively and we are gearing up to match that increasing demand so we already on boarded World leading investors in Europe and we are looking to raise our series a 5 plus million EUR to deliver for our existing oft agreements and to on board more customers and of course to scale up manufacturing to hundreds of tons in the coming in the coming years our technology platform which is a cross-section between nano technology and machine learning where we are the quickest who can develop materials and launch them in the market recently within two months from idea to a product in the market so we have successfully launched a product within two months as you can see opportunities are limit are not limited but we are focused on those are closing to the market building success and capturing other opportunities in packaging in automotive defense construction and battery technologies if you are interested to touch the world's strongest material and to talk to us please talk to us here so I have it in my pocket here as you can see super flexible and still very easy and impossible to break if you'd like to try to break so please talk to us thank [Music] you hello we make rocks that Save the Planet the ocean is at an all you can eat buffet of carbon emissions it's just eating and eating and it's getting quite sick that's where blue carbon ecosystems come in like seaweed and kelp but it's not just them I'm talking about Brits they're cute they're pink and they're the ocean's best carbon sink they take dissolved carbon in the water column and convert it into carbon nodules on the seaf Flor that remove that carbon for thousands to millions of years this process happens naturally over 10 years but we make it happen in less than two if you think of corals as trees these guys are the soil and they're 100 times more efficient than mangroves six times cheaper than the cheapest Tech Solutions out there today we start this process with blue sinkies our patented materials engineering technology which when deployed on seaf floors with zero human intervention they create regenerative carbon capture beds that last 10 to 50 years we're taking waste and creating the most powerful carbon sucking ecosystems on the world this is the life cycle of a blue sinki and we've already deployed in more than five countries around the world we're not in the UAE and we're here to ask your help for access to seafloor we want to build the world's largest and most beautiful carbon removal site with just 10 square kilm we can remove 1 million tons every single year while fixing corals and rebuilding Marine biodiversity our business model is centered around carbon credits and seabed restoration targeting primarily offshore energy and Maritime sectors we've already signed 15 Lois and M us with research and Commercial Partners around the world and actually we achieved this funding Milestone a few days ago so we're here as a team of scientists engineers and biologists that are building the world's most modular CDR solution to tell you that each one of you be you individuals investors or businesses can help us decarbonize the world Rock by Rock so are you ready to rock with us thank you [Music] thank you very much my name is aan manesco founder of aare development as you may guess from the picture we are an aquaculture technology startup we develop design and Implement our own systems for growing shrim in a sustainable way high productivity and an economically efficient way before diving too deep into the technology let's talk about the shrim market shrim today is literally the most consumed Seafood worldwide by far more than salmon more than tuna more than sardines anything that you can think of it's also the fastest growing Seafood in consumption worldwide the problem is that most of it is produced only on a small area the yellow countries tropical areas essentially While most of it is consumed elsewhere and the countries that consume the most import on average over 90% of their consumption here in the UAE we import 100% in Europe 99% when you're importing your most consumed Seafood that comes with a whole host of issues not least of which food security but also the carbon footprint of bringing your most consumed Seafood all the way from the other side of the world we solve this and you'd ask the question why don't they produce and the answer is because the available Technologies are either not suitable because they require tropical climate or too expensive to implement we solved this issues we combined AI biotech and design engineering and devop and deved a system that can produce Sudan anywhere in the world with over 10 times higher productivity than traditional systems and at a fraction of the cost of the existing systems competing today on cost with India and Vietnam we are present today in over eight countries across three continents we have two business models we sell the Sham and we franchise the technology we have been cash flow positive as a startup since two years already and profitable and we're raising our series a hunting $10 million for anyone who is interested my favorite topic FR on space and fr on Mars um frm is one of the best candidates as a species to grow in space and on other planets and we have developed our own program to make that happen and to become the first company to grow shrim on Mars thank you for your attention thank you [Music]
