ForceField is proud to announce we'll be at InsurTech NY's Matching Sessions in NYC next month, learning more about deep diving into insurance and sitting down to talk to insurance companies one-on-one. Our team has been in locked in on preventing fraud with insurtech as we see opportunities opening for us month by month. Deep/shallow faked claims and mitigation of Gen AI-related risks have been the subject matter of fraud investigators all year, and a theme in our customer conversations. Our growing team is discovering that #Underwriters are requiring verification technologies like ours. Last year, this time, I would have countless conversations with VCs in the Insurtech space about the need for what we're doing. Many, to this day, question how big the industry is getting. We're here to tell you that trillions of dollars in losses to fraud are just around the corner. By integrating our technology, #insurance and #financial companies and underwriters can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to sophisticated AI-driven scams. Our solutions not only protect against the immediate threats but also enhance overall cybersecurity posture, providing peace of mind in an increasingly complex digital landscape. This proactive approach will help organizations mitigate the financial and reputational damage that could arise from future deepfake and cyber fraud incidents. Learn more about our technology and how it helps insurance companies, their underwriters, and cyber insurance policies exceed compliance and legal standards while thwarting fraud, deterring digital deception, and closing claims at lightening pace with our real-time technology, MARQ.

Build quietly and let the product speak for itself. In an environment where we don't know what voice to trust, authentication checks at the most critical step are needed: the beginning. That's why we created a forensically advanced platform to establish chain-of-custody + provenance, verify digital submissions, and authenticate company content. We introduce to you our proprietary technology, Proofmark®, which verifies video, photos, and audio files as it's submitted since time is of the essence. In this video, you'll engage with how any News Network would engage with ForceField's technology and products. Email: info@meetforcefield.com for more information or a demo. https://lnkd.in/erbAt64n

Welcoming 2024 and we at ForceField IO are filled with gratitude + joy as we look back on a year marked by significant achievements and growth. We're excited to share these highlights with you!    *2023 highlights* Launched our rolling pre-seed round right when SVB collapsed. But we still rose!  Our team doubled the company's fundraising this year to achieve new milestones after 61 investor pitches.  Traction included 32 customer conversations across 4 sectors, and 2 LOIs with software companies. > Launched our ForceField x News / Media Outlets Video - check it out at https://lnkd.in/ekSMMEmS.   > Algorithms so good, we were honored as a Public Sector Innovator by City & State in NYC this past Summer!  Deeply grateful to the support of Michael O'Brien. > Pitched at the TLTF Summit, our first time as a finalist and wow! I met incredible folks who care about justice, truth, transparency and startups. Thank you, Andrea Markstrom. > Graduated from Techstars Washington DC powered by J.P. Morgan and celebrated pitch day amongst amazing founders. Let's go #Techstars fam.   > Took part in prominent events such as the Dual-Use Conference in Boston with New North Ventures, the Blu Cyber Venture Forum Conference Powered by Blu Ventures in DC & the InsureTech Connect conference in Las Vegas. > Even made our way to the Governor's Mansion in NJ. This year vividly illustrated the need for technology like ours in the age of AI and underscored the gap between trust & technology. This realization highlighted the importance of what we do in preventing bias, cybercrime, fraud & deepfakes.   Our patent-pending, intelligent “forensic investigator” algorithms have proved helpful to news, media, public safety platforms, insurance, and instantly save organizations a gazillion number of hours on manual work, millions of dollars, and potential lawsuits/fraud. With a powerhouse team of three experts and a focus on deep customer development, we've efficiently transformed our idea into an easily integrated API, ready for enterprise trust & safety teams, news stations, insurance companies, and just about anyone else who needs to assess trusted data.  Know anyone? This is what our investors and network say: “This is an everywhere, all at once technology.” - Techstars MD & ForceField Investor "Ever since you told me about it in 2021, we still don't have technology like this for public safety in our state and it would absolutely be a force multiplier." - FBI Task Force Agent & State Police Forensics Expert   “Your technology will change the world." - ForceField's 1st Celebrity Investor “I didn't even care what your pitch deck said. I never opened it. I was investing in you - if you're dedicating your life to this mission, to reduce the negative results of an artificial future with tech for verification, I'd invest again and again.” - NYMEX Founder and ForceField Investor 🙌🏽 Warm regards, MC
