Valued at almost $3 billion, Remote is the fastest-growing employer of record company

SAN FRANCISCO, April 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Remote, a leader in building, managing and supporting global, distributed workforces, today announced a $300 million Series C financing round, led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 with participation from existing investors including Accel, Sequoia, Index Ventures, Two Sigma Ventures, General Catalyst, 9Yards, Adams Street and Base Growth. As more companies seek to employ talent around the world, the funding round comes on the heels of exponential growth resulting in a 900% employee increase and more than 13-fold growth in annual recurring revenue in the past year, making Remote the fastest-growing employer of record company.*

“Remote’s mission from day one has been to help create a world where every person and business truly belongs in the global market. This significant show of support from investors along with the rapid growth of our business is proof that this need is not only palpable, but that the vision and solutions we offer are first-in-class innovation,” said Job van der Voort, co-founder and CEO of Remote. “With this additional funding, we will be able to build more products including contractor and global payroll platforms and expand on our premier service and benefits offering.”

Coming only eight months after its $150 million Series B, which cemented the startup’s unicorn status, Remote’s Series C round brings the total raised to $495 million, valuation to nearly $3 billion, and validates Remote’s position as the go-to partner for companies transitioning to the new future of work.

“The way people work has permanently changed and the shift to remote and hybrid work has enabled companies to hire from anywhere in the world, but this can be an intensive, costly and risky process,” said Brett Rochkind, Managing Partner at SoftBank Investment Advisers. “Remote has built a full-stack, global platform that creates a fast, seamless experience to hire and onboard new employees regardless of where they are. We are excited to partner with Job, Marcelo and the team to support their mission to open up the vast potential of the world for every person, business and country.”

Founded in 2019, Remote empowers companies including GitLab, DoorDash, Loom, Paystack and more to build their teams with the best talent around the world. The Remote platform provides the necessary tools and expertise for clients to hire globally, pay teams in their preferred currencies, and remain compliant with ever-changing regulations. By fully owning and operating legal entities in each country, including staff on the ground in every market, Remote makes it possible for customers to offer competitive, culturally aware employment packages including payroll, benefits, taxes, stock options and regulatory compliance to stand out in the global talent marketplace.

“Through Remote, Jeeves has hired 70 employees and 10 contractors across India, Canada, the United Kingdom, and South America. Remote has enabled us to rapidly enter new markets without the overhead of setting up our own entities. And when we do eventually open entities in some countries, we know we can rely on Remote’s global compliance and payroll expertise to help us do it right,” said Kati Reaugh, Chief People Officer at Jeeves. “Remote’s customer support and expertise has been fantastic, we have enjoyed growing and partnering with them.”

“Remote enables Fonoa to build the best teams in the world, irrespective of where those team members may be based,” said Sophie Connor, People Operations Manager at Fonoa Technologies. “Not only have they greatly expanded our talent pool to help us scale seamlessly across eight countries, but they’ve helped us ensure an equitable, culturally aware employee experience for our entire distributed workforce.”

In 2022, Remote launched a program to provide hands-on support to help companies empower their employees with international moves through Remote Relocation, which provides visa guidance and sponsorship, local immigration and tax guidance, insurance, and cross-cultural training. The company also launched Remote for Refugees, a program that makes it easy and cost-effective for businesses to invest in refugee talent, including free global employment for all refugees.

Remote continues to innovate its tech offerings, launching last month the first-to-market Remote API in partnership with leading HR software platforms including AngelList and Sequoia Consulting to help companies scale and manage international teams directly through their platforms.

Remote will be hosting its inaugural Remote Connect conference on Building Belonging in the New World of Work from April 5-6, 2022. The all-virtual event will feature a lineup of celebrity authors, business leaders and industry experts including Ariana Huffington, Adam Grant, Priya Parker and more.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Earthbanc the leading carbon credit and finance platform headquartered in Stockholm with operations across 20 countries, raised a US $1.5M investment in a Pre-Seed Round with participation from Regen Network Development Inc (USA), Rampersand VC (Australia), Visive Capital (EU), Katalista Ventures (Lithuania), Sting Accelerator (Sweden), clients of Jindabyne Capital and Kaai Capital (Australia), European Space Agency Incubator (Sweden) and Regenerative Ventures Holdings (USA).

Earthbanc develops carbon projects, sells verified and audited carbon credits, and enables investors to finance carbon removal. The company has audited the carbon stocks of over 13M hectares of forest globally using satellites and proprietary remote sensing technology.

Launch of the Earthbanc Protocol on Regen Ledger

The number of corporations committed to Net Zero has increased exponentially since COP26, but it has been difficult for carbon buyers to source third-party annually audited carbon credits. With venture backing from the European Space Agency for their patent-pending technology, Earthbanc leverages AI, web3, and data science to annually audit the underlying carbon asset in carbon credits bringing increased transparency and credibility to carbon markets.

This investment enables the launch of the Earthbanc Protocol on Regen Ledger, a publicly governed ecological ledger for verification of claims, data, and agreements on ecological state and carbon credits. Earthbanc Protocol will utilize Regen Ledger to store carbon reporting and auditing information on the transparent blockchain, and Earthbanc will mint carbon credits on Regen Registry, the carbon credit registry operated by Regen Network. Earthbanc Protocol is introducing web3 wallets for the nascent regenerative finance (ReFi) market, enabling Regen Network-based eco credits to be financed, held, and staked via the new Earthbanc Protocol web3 platform.

Earthbanc CEO Tom Duncan said: “We welcome the investment from Regen Network Development Inc and Rampersand VC to accelerate the growth of the Earthbanc Protocol platform, which will enable investors to access 8% fixed – 15% variable APY yields and finance nature-based carbon removal projects globally. We are excited to scale up carbon markets with our technology and onboard millions of farmers around the world to help them monetize their carbon, and give investors access to this fast-growing asset class.”

Earthbanc has been tapped by the African Development Bank to demonstrate the issuance of the world’s first Sustainable Land Bond with fully audited carbon removal on the Earthbanc platform, at the UNCCD COP15 in Africa, May 2022. Solving carbon removal auditing issues with its AI technology is helping attract corporate carbon buyers and investors, unlocking the USD 14 billion pledged at COP26 for the Great Green Wall – an African-led and UNCCD sponsored program. Earthbanc is well-positioned to deliver climate finance and carbon credit services to this 156M hectare mega-project that will sequester 250M tonnes of carbon, estimated to generate USD ~7.25B in credit revenue for local farmers and carbon service providers.

Regen Network Development Inc CEO, Gregory Landua, said: “Regen Network invests in the best regenerative finance (ReFi) ventures to scale faster. The Earthbanc platform is built for the next 1 billion people coming out of poverty through regenerative agriculture, carbon payments, and regenerative payments – enabling capital to flow where it’s needed to achieve planetary regeneration and stabilize the climate. The Earthbanc app will provide a carbon bank with accessible on and off fiat ramps for users globally, particularly for the unbanked, bringing the next billion users into the regenerative finance revolution.”

Nicole Small, Investment Director at Rampersand VC: “The Earthbanc team has extensive experience in regenerative finance markets,  with a demonstrated capability and commitment to the community and environment. Earthbanc’s tier-one relationships with leading NGOs, together with proprietary automation and remote sensing technology, deliver huge value in the fast-growing climate finance and nature-based solution (NbS) carbon markets. Equally important is that Earthbanc provides a win-win outcome to farmers through global carbon market access and meaningful carbon sequestration projects.”

About Earthbanc

Earthbanc is pioneering a super cost-effective and precise carbon credit and finance platform. On the Earthbanc platform, you can purchase fully audited carbon credits, or choose to invest in carbon removal. The company’s investment thematics include land restoration, regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, large-scale reforestation and prevention of deforestation, blue carbon including mangroves, seagrass meadows and kelp, marine conservation, agrivoltaics, and social capital projects. Earthbanc’s climate fintech innovation was recognized last year when it won the Mastercard Lighthouse FINITIV program in Spring 2021, and the company is now set to scale to the next level in the booming web3 climate and fintech sector.

• Global study reveals online fraud attacks grew at a faster pace than legitimate online transactions;
• 794% increase in fraud on digital entertainment transactions;
• Account Takeover (ATO) tops the list of top fraud scams of 2021.

SAN MATEO, Calif. and LISBON, Portugal, April 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Feedzai, the world’s first RiskOps platform for financial risk management, has released its quarterly Financial Crime Report, The RiskOps Age, based on an analysis of over 18 billion global banking transactions throughout 2021. The report identifies trends in consumer spending and fraud attacks and compares transactional intelligence from 2021 with the previous three years to provide insights from the pre-pandemic era vs. the first and second years of the pandemic. One of the main conclusions is that while online transactions grew 65%, online fraud attack rates grew by 233%.

“The shift from in-person transactions to online transactions, along with the plethora of devices and accounts each person has, creates vast amounts of data points. From a fraudster’s point of view, this is the best case scenario. It’s easier for them to hide in all that noise,” said Jaime Ferreira, VP of Global Data Science at Feedzai. “But it also creates opportunities for banks to create more effective and personal products and services. It’s for both of the reasons that we’ve called this report The RiskOps Age. Now is the time to connect teams and data to prevent fraud and provide elevated customer experiences.”

The data shows that consumers shifted to digital entertainment platforms during the pandemic, and so did fraudsters. Criminals often like to hide in plain sight, and the sheer number of transactions for digital entertainment combined with the low dollar amount per transaction provides fraudsters with an ideal environment to test stolen cards along with other scams. Feedzai’s Financial Crime Report saw a 794% increase in fraud attacks on digital entertainment transactions in 2021 vs. 2019.

“Living the digital lifestyle adds a world of convenience, but also provides a low-risk, high-reward environment for fraudsters,” adds Ferreira. “It’s the perfect place for fraudsters to hide – in a massive number of low-dollar amount transactions. The more transactions, the more opportunities for them to test stolen cards or other scams. Consumers and banks need to watch out for those small fraud transactions before they add up to big bills.”

Top Fraud Scams
With fraud on the rise, the report also identified the top five fraud scams, with account takeover (ATO) and social engineering attacks ranking as fraudsters’ current favorite schemes. The top scam on the list has risen from fourth to first place since last year. ATO is a form of identity theft where fraudsters change account information, including passwords, and “take over” the account.

Top 5 fraud attacks:

1. Account Takeover
2. Social Engineering Scams
3. Purchase Scams
4. Impersonation Scams
5. Smishing Scams

Fraud in other parts of the world

The United Kingdom of Fraud:
In the U.K., banking fraud attacks are 50% more common when British consumers banked via desktops and laptops, telephone, or in-person combined vs. through a mobile banking application.

For mobile devices, fraudsters attempted 30% higher pound (£) amounts of fraud on Android devices, but fraud rates were 67% higher on iOS devices.

The United States of Fraud:
In our previous Financial Crime Report, we focused on the trend away from cash. Now we see that cash didn’t bounce back even when many pandemic-related restrictions were lifted. In fact, we saw a steeper decline in U.S. cash withdrawals comparing 2021 to 2020 vs. 2019 to 2020. Overall, U.S. cash withdrawals decreased 75% from pre-pandemic levels to today.

And for those who are thinking about a vacation in the United States, the report further ranked the top six U.S. tourist cities by fraud rate with Miami, Los Angeles, and San Francisco taking first, second, and third spots respectively. After a gradual climb from the number three ranking in 2019 and number two in 2020, Miami overtakes San Francisco as the tourist city with the highest fraud rate, up 511 percent. San Francisco drops to number three with a 42 percent decrease in fraud rate.

In fourth place is New York City with a 160% increase over last year, followed by Orlando (+15%) and Las Vegas (+334%).

How Consumers Can Prevent Social Engineering Attacks

1. Remember, the click is a trick: Don’t open or click on suspicious links via email or text. Fraudsters can’t trick you if you don’t click on their links.
2. Update devices: Install and regularly update anti-malware software. When your computer or phone prompts you to install updates, do it.
3. Protect your privacy: Don’t provide personal information about yourself or your employer unless you are 100 percent sure the person you’re interacting with should have access to that information.
4. Use multi-factor authentication: Do not reveal personal or financial information in an email, and do not respond to email solicitations for this information. This includes clicking on links sent via email.
5. Don’t believe the hype: If an offer, prize, or opportunity is too good to be true, it isn’t true. Don’t fall for tempting out-of-this-world offers.
