3. WealthForge

Founded: 2009

“We believe in the power of capital to drive innovation and ideas that move us forward. Yet the process of raising private capital is outdated: opaque, inefficient, and rife with barriers. As a result, capital does not flow freely: opportunities are blocked or frozen; potential is stymied.

WealthForge is powering the next generation of capital markets. We set out to break these barriers, expand accessibility, and let private capital find its best potential. For issuers and advisors, we’ve created an integrated solution to execute and manage the process of raising capital, from thorough compliance reviews, to subscription automation and reporting. For investors, we’re making it simpler and easier to invest in opportunities with potential.

WealthForge is committed to challenging the status quo in capital markets. Letting capital flow to the best opportunities creates exponential benefits—for all, not just a select few.”

6. Q Customer Intelligence

Founded: 2014

“Q Customer Intelligence is a self-serve analytics and data discovery SaaS platform purpose-built for customer analytics, insights, and related workflow. The product has been built using the most powerful, best-of-breed and open source technologies for managing big data scale and performant querying and visualization.

Our product helps ease the “last-mile” analytics bottleneck found in most large organizations between the central IT/BI team and the business teams hungry for data and insights. It helps these business teams easily explore data, collaborate with colleagues around insights, and automate list building to power customer communication across their execution tools. The Q product puts more power and autonomy in the hands of non-technical team members to answer most of their data and analytics questions on their own, thus freeing up the central IT/BI team to tackle more complicated questions and algorithmic needs. Core groups using Q are marketing, sales, CRM, customer experience, support, executives, and related functions.”
