CUBE3.AI Unveils AI-Driven Technology to Detect and Block Rising Tide of New Scams and Fraud

Palo Alto, California, United States, September 5th, 2024, Chainwire

AI-driven platform detects fraud at its earliest stages, preventing billions in potential crypto losses

As scams grow more sophisticated and increasingly target crypto for laundering billions in losses, CUBE3.AI is pioneering a new era in fraud prevention. Today, the company announced major enhancements to its platform that bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3, enabling real-time risk assessment and the proactive blocking of scams like pig butchering, ransomware, sextortion, and others.

In 2023, investment scams alone led to more than $4.5 billion in losses, with 86% linked to cryptocurrency. A substantial portion of these scams originate in Web2—through social media interactions, fraudulent websites, or other online channels—before transitioning into crypto where recovering stolen assets becomes nearly impossible. While the industry has traditionally focused on either Web2 or Web3, CUBE3.AI leverages unique expertise and proprietary AI technology that seamlessly integrates both realms, enabling the detection and prevention of fraud across the entire digital landscape. This approach addresses a critical gap by offering a holistic view of fraud patterns across both Web2 and Web3, enabling early detection, thorough risk assessment, and timely intervention.

“The most damaging scams often involve complex journeys that span both traditional and crypto spaces. We’ve built a solution that looks at the full picture, from initial contact in Web2 all the way to final transactions in Web3,” said Einaras Gravrock, CEO of CUBE3.AI. “Real-time fraud prevention is a complex challenge that requires expertise in both realms, along with advanced technology capable of interpreting diverse data and understanding context. Our platform is more than just technology—it’s about restoring trust. Whether it’s protecting businesses from dirty money or safeguarding people from devastating losses, this solution marks a significant step forward in the fight against digital fraud.”

CUBE3.AI’s enhanced platform integrates data from social media, online platforms, and dark web sources, combining it with real-time Web3 transaction monitoring. Proprietary AI models trained to interpret the context of this data generate a comprehensive risk score, empowering businesses to act swiftly before scams escalate. By offering seamless visibility into both Web2 and Web3 activities, CUBE3.AI allows organizations to preemptively block threats that would otherwise go unnoticed until it’s too late.

“As criminals increasingly rely on AI to scale their attacks, our response has to be just as sophisticated. Our AI-powered tools connect the dots between Web2 and Web3, giving us a unique edge in identifying threats before they escalate,” said Chris Griffiths, CTO of CUBE3.AI. “By offering this level of visibility and speed, we empower businesses to make informed decisions and protect their users in real time.”

These new capabilities provide exchanges, financial institutions, and service providers with the early detection and risk management they need to avoid facilitating fraud, protect user trust, and minimize financial losses. By offering a solution that integrates data from both Web2 and Web3, CUBE3.AI sets a new standard in fraud prevention, helping businesses stay ahead of rapidly evolving threats.

Costanoa Ventures Closes Oversubscribed Early-Stage Fund, Expands Investments in AI-Enabled B2B Tech

2024-09-18T14:11:37Z

Firm surpasses $2 billion in total assets under management as it targets AI-enabled SaaS, AI & Data Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, Fintech and Defense Tech sectors with promotion of new general partner

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Costanoa Ventures, a boutique early-stage venture capital firm, today announced the successful close of two new funds: Costanoa Fund V, a $275 million early-stage fund, and Opportunity Fund III, a $119 million fund for investing in later rounds of its early-stage winners. With these additions, the firm’s total assets under management now exceed $2 billion.

Costanoa invests as early as Day One in Seed and Series A startups in high-growth sectors across AI-enabled SaaS, Cyber- and National Security and Fintech. In recent years, the firm has doubled down on critical sectors that lay the foundation to grow and scale AI’s use in business.

"Our goal has always been to be the best possible partner to incredible founders building extraordinary companies that can solve big problems,” noted Greg Sands, Costanoa's founder and managing partner. “The huge leaps forward we're now seeing in AI make this a tremendous time to be an early-stage investor.”

In Fund V, Costanoa has continued to expand its focus on Cybersecurity and Defense Tech. Costanoa also announced that John Cowgill has been promoted as its newest General Partner. Cowgill has built Costanoa’s cybersecurity and space practices and has led investments in category standouts like AppOmni, Cyberhaven, Muon Space and Kepler Communications.

“Costanoa is building the most founder-aligned early stage venture firm in the industry. I couldn’t be more excited for the extraordinary companies we’ve partnered with and the amount of innovation that still lies ahead,” said Cowgill.

One of the firm’s standout investments in Defense Tech is Vannevar Labs, founded by two Stanford GSB students and incubated in Costanoa’s Palo Alto office in 2019. Vannevar has since emerged as a leader in providing state-of-the-art technology for the defense industry. Other investments in the sector include Cape, Auterion, Kepler Communications and Muon Space, among others.

“Costanoa has been part of our team through all the highs and lows and every phase of company building,” said Nini Hamrick, President and Co-Founder of Vannevar Labs. “The Costanoa team feels like an extension of our team at this point, with a very different level of engagement than we see from other investors that is hyper specific to this early stage of company building. They are also just really great people who want to have a really big impact on the world, and we can't imagine building Vannevar without them."

Costanoa sets itself apart by building a highly concentrated portfolio focused on outstanding technical founders, where it can add real value with the world-class expertise of its BuilderOps Team. They provide the hands-on support these teams need in go-to-market strategy, company building and talent recruitment. With a boutique approach, Costanoa offers a tailored, high-touch approach that early-stage founders need and value.
