Every single firm that sends an invoice becomes a vendor to the enterprise. As a result, most enterprises now have more vendors than employees. Each vendor needs to be vetted via background checks, validating tax id, banking data, internal sign-offs, etc. This is currently done manually at significant cost, expense and risk to the enterprise. Certa is an automated vendor management platform that instantly vets vendors via direct integrations with IRS, D&B, social media, etc. and streamlines sign-offs via a highly configurable workflow.

We are on a mission to provide all pets with the quality health care they need from veterinarians and their caretakers. We aim to do this by modernizing the veterinary tech stack throughout a pet patient’s lifecycle from patient identification to preventive care, medical care, and monitoring & lifestyle. Existing vet tools are frustratingly hard to use, lack key features, and look like they are from the 90s. Our vision for a next-generation cloud platform includes a comprehensive medical record management system with delightful client communication tools. Predictive analytics will unlock clinical efficiencies, equip veterinarians with relevant medical data, and inform pet owners of proactive, tailored insights into their pets’ health.

Our blockchain-enabled platform allows you to unlock the massive value locked away in your existing reputations. You can link any of your websites, for example Airbnb for your guest score or Upwork for your reviews as a gig worker. You are empowered to reveal these verified reputations, over and over again, instantly proving you are trustworthy as part of any application or signup process, for example to secure a tenancy agreement, a loan, or a job as an Upworker. We’ve built Reputationaire on a blockchain giving you ownership, security, privacy and control. Via your private trust vault, you and only you, have ownership of not only your data but more importantly the reputation that you've invested time carefully building. And you'll be able to take your reputation with you between services, so you'll never have to start from zero stars when joining a new service. We help overcome negative bias and lack of trust with the option to remain anonymous yet trusted.
