悉尼和新澤西州澤西城，2024年5月14日 /PRNewswire/ — 全球身份驗證解決方案的領先提供商Data Zoo今天宣佈從埃勒斯頓資本基金埃勒斯頓·賈德獲得約2,270萬美元（合3500萬澳元）的A輪融資。此次加薪將幫助Data Zoo推動其身份驗證軟件的採用和創新，該軟件可直接訪問來自170多個國家的權威數據；具有先進的數據排序功能，可提高效率和最大化轉化率；並通過取消身份數據存儲來優先考慮數據保護和隱私。
Data Zoo outperforms in improving customer approval rates and revenue realization through its access to global data and logic-driven data source sequencing, which automatically verifies or retries identities against the next best source, reducing dropout rates and lowering the total cost of ownership.
Data Zoo通過訪問全球數據和邏輯驅動的數據源排序，在提高客戶批准率和收入實現方面表現優於其他最佳來源，可自動驗證或重試身份，從而降低退出率並降低總擁有成本。
Data Zoo's vision is to provide a global, efficient, secure alternative to legacy solutions while enhancing KYC/KYB compliance and fraud prevention. As part of the raise, Data Zoo – which is trusted by leading financial institutions, payment providers, and fintechs – plans to continue to expand its operations globally.
Data Zoo 的願景是爲傳統解決方案提供一個全球、高效、安全的替代方案，同時加強 KYC/KYB 合規性和欺詐預防。作爲籌資的一部分，受到領先金融機構、支付提供商和金融科技公司信任的Data Zoo計劃繼續在全球範圍內擴展其業務。
"There's been a long-standing need for a more efficient and secure way to verify identities. Data Zoo has spent years refining its solution – the result has been incredible innovation, UX optimization, and growth in a fiercely competitive market, putting us head-to-head with today's most established identity providers," said Tony Fitzgibbon, founder and Chairman of Data Zoo. "Ellerston JAADE spotted an opportunity in Data Zoo's proven ability to help global firms verify consumer and business identities, reduce fraud, and meet global compliance standards."
“長期以來，人們一直需要一種更高效、更安全的身份驗證方式。Data Zoo花了多年的時間完善其解決方案——結果是在競爭激烈的市場中實現了令人難以置信的創新、用戶體驗優化和增長，使我們與當今最成熟的身份提供商正面交鋒。” Data Zoo創始人兼董事長託尼·菲茨吉本說。“Ellerston JAADE發現了Data Zoo久經考驗的幫助全球公司驗證消費者和企業身份、減少欺詐和滿足全球合規標準的能力中的機會。”
The raise follows the recent appointment of former London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) executive Charlie Minutella as Chief Executive Officer in February 2024.
此次加薪是在倫敦證券交易所集團（LSEG）前高管查理·米努泰拉最近於2024年2月被任命爲首席執行官之後進行的。
"Data Zoo is well-positioned to expand its footprint because of its patented ability to efficiently onboard a more diverse and global set of customers, meet compliance standards across jurisdictions, and enhance data privacy and protection," said Charlie Minutella, Chief Executive Officer at Data Zoo. "The investment from Ellerston JAADE will supercharge our capacity to operate in key markets, attract new business, and enter new strategic partnerships."
Data Zoo首席執行官查理·米努泰拉表示：“Data Zoo完全有能力擴大其業務範圍，因爲其專利能力能夠有效地吸引更多樣化和全球化的客戶，滿足各個司法管轄區的合規標準，並增強數據隱私和保護。”“來自Ellerston JAADE的投資將增強我們在關鍵市場的運營能力，吸引新業務並建立新的戰略合作伙伴關係。”
Data Zoo's fundraise sits within Ellerston JAADE which invests across a number of high-growth Australian-based companies, such as Mable, Camms, and Phocas. The fundraise represents Data Zoo's first outside investment.
Data Zoo的籌款活動位於埃勒斯頓JAADE內，該公司投資於許多高增長的澳大利亞公司，例如Mable、Camms和Phocas。此次籌款是Data Zoo的第一筆外部投資。
"Data Zoo's innovative platform and success in expanding its operations internationally, especially into challenging markets like North America, were key factors in our decision to invest," said David Leslie, Investment Director at Ellerston JAADE. "Data Zoo's impressive growth, solidifying itself as a trusted identity provider against well-established competitors – all without prior funding – is no small feat. We are pleased to support them as they continue to scale in the identity verification industry."
Ellerston JAADE投資董事戴維·萊斯利表示：“Data Zoo的創新平台以及成功地將業務擴展到國際市場，特別是向北美等充滿挑戰的市場擴張，是我們決定投資的關鍵因素。”“Data Zoo的驚人增長，鞏固了自己作爲可信身份提供商的地位，以對抗知名競爭對手的身份提供商——所有這些都無需事先籌集資金——可不是一件容易的事。隨着他們在身份驗證行業繼續擴大規模，我們很高興爲他們提供支持。”
