Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together. So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality through Afterpay, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale. Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

Background145 million real estate properties exist in the United States. All of these properties are taxed by county or municipal tax collectors (TCs). There are 21,000 county and municipal TCs in the US. The 1,000 largest TC’s collect tax on 100 million properties. There are 6,000 mortgage lenders in the US that have issued mortgages for 60 million US properties. The majority of property taxes for mortgaged properties are paid by the mortgage lender via escrow.In order to manage property tax payments mortgage lenders need updated property tax data from each TC to which they remit property taxes. Each TC uses a variety of software platforms with a variety of data formats. Data acquisition is very complex and most lenders request and receive the data only 30-60 days before the tax due date.What is Autoagent?Autoagent is a web-based portal that is used by hundreds of TCs in order to deliver the most up-to-date property tax data to thousands of mortgage lenders. Autoagent blocks duplicate payments and eliminates 95% of refunds and errors for tax collectors effectively automating a very complex process, thereby saving mortgage lenders valuable time and money.What is Unique about Autoagent?There are no other products serving the function of Autoagent and there is virtually no competition. Autoagent is free for TCs, with revenue generated from mortgage lenders on a per property basis. Autoagent incorporates a social network aspect, in which TCs and mortgage lenders can connect and communicate via the Autoagent portal, in order to exchange property tax data and payments. This feature increases the visibility of Autoagent and helps it propagate itself among current and potential users.Current StatusCurrently Autoagent is used by 50 TCs in 12 States. We are adding TCs at a rate of 140% per year, with the addition of 4-5 new TCs every month. Our unique and exclusive partnership with the biggest tax service company in the US has become the primary driver of Autoagent sales. We are projecting our revenue growth rate to double in the next 12-24 months.ManagementNiko Spyridonos and Sadiq Samani are the founders, owners, and the only two employees of Autoagent. Niko moved to the US in 1990 and studied Computing and Information Science in Chicago, IL. Niko has a deep understanding of web technologies with emphasis on database driven applications. Mr. Samani joined Niko’s team in 2001 and was instrumental in the development of Autoagent to today’s form.Niko, the CEO, manages all sales, training and customer support. He also contributes to the development of the technology by utilizing user feedback. Sadiq, the CTO, handles the technology behind Autoagent, including heavy duty programming and day-to-day development support and operations.TechnologyOur technology is written entirely in Open Source tools and the database uses the power of Microsoft SQL Server. The application is cloud hosted, fully redundant and instantly scalable. Autoagent is strategically designed to grow with our exponentially growing database over time.Marketing StrategyOur current marketing strategy is to utilize our strategic partner’s national and international resources and existing relationships with virtually every TC in the nation. We present Autoagent in person or via WebEx and convert approximately 4-5 TCs to Autoagent per month. In addition we try to attend as many local government conferences attended by TCs generally continue to be active in the TC community.

We are Bridge, the only fintech company focused on boosting the "asset side of the ledger" for the 100M low-to-middle income consumers in America. Consumer financial services in America are in the early stages of a tectonic shift to digital-first offerings. However, much of the innovation to date has centered almost exclusively on providing better credit "products" like Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL), early wage access, cash advances, and early direct deposit. These products are all repackaged, forms of debt or credit, which unfortunately don't do much to improve the financial position of the low-to-middle income American consumer, and more importantly, don’t solve for their core problem: *a lack of money.* With all the focus on personal credit and liability management, where is the innovation on the asset side of the ledger? Bridge is that innovator. How do we do it? First, we help our members monetize their data through our app and card products, enabling you to share your anonymized data with third party businesses and make money. All of this is done on a strictly opt-in basis, meaning that you can choose what data to share and when, so you can stay in control of your data while you #MakeBank. Some members are earning over $200 per month. But we don’t plan to stop there. Over time, our goal is to help you uncover even more opportunities to earn money and place you on the path to building wealth. Think of us simply as: the money-maker in your pocket.

Bitcoin is maturing from a hobbyist experiment to a serious financial instrument. Institutional investors, traders, and money managers want access to trading tools and services to connect themselves with the bitcoin economy. Those services do not exist and this is preventing many of them from trading bitcoin.We are building an SEC registered broker dealer that can transact in bitcoin for institutional customers. Our team of industry veterans is building a brokerage that will allow US based fund managers to actively trade bitcoin across multiple trading venues from one account. Red Leaf Capital will provide institutional customers with custodial account services, statements, third party valuation, and access to bitcoin lending.Red Leaf Capital is not an exchange or a payment processor. We are building a brokerage where world class proprietary trading firms, hedge funds, and money managers can trade across multiple exchanges.TECHNOLOGYThe technology that Red Leaf uses is relatively straight forward for those involved in the electronic trading business. It breaks out into two major components. Order routing and management, and back-office accounting.Customary electronic trading operations operate what is known as a FIX gateway. This allows customers to send orders and receive confirmations and transaction data in real-time using an industry standard FIX protocol. Once an order is sent into our gateway, we will check it against several measures including checking the overall risk of the customers account and other high-frequency trading checks. Then depending on the type of order it is routed out to the appropriate exchange. The "order router" is a common phrase used in electronic trading to describe the technology that determines where and how an order is routed. We have extensive buy-side and sell-side experience building order routers.
