Startup of the Week 🤩 

Orca has raised a $550k pre-seed round to fight fraud in emerging markets, marking one of the largest pre-seed rounds by an all-women founding team in Africa. Orca's AI co-pilot helps businesses detect and prevent fraud efficiently and cost-effectively. Launching first in South Africa, Orca addresses unique regional challenges with tailored solutions.

Ambassadors Perspective: Orca fills a critical gap by providing affordable, tailored fraud prevention for Africa and emerging markets. Traditional fraud prevention tools often fail to address the unique payment methods, socio-economic climates, and regulations in these regions. Fintechs and banks in Africa need modular services to protect against fraud, and Orca is delivering. Orca is led by a compelling founders and should be watched closely for growth!

Venture Capitalist Spotlight 🤩 

Jenny Fielding is Co-founder + Managing Partner of Everywhere Ventures

Everywhere is a founder collective and early stage venture fund investing in the future of money, health, and work. Lots of people tell us that investing everywhere is crazy, impossible, and way too ambitious for such a small, scrappy team. That doesn't bother us—we embrace the challenge. Because we love being everywhere with founders, all at once.

By founders, for founders, they are first-check venture fund and founder community like no other. Everywhere has invested in the pre-seed rounds of 250+ companies over 5 years and they are just getting started! The firm leverages its network of about 500 limited-partner investors to find deals far and wide. Jenny can be found on X and LinkedIn.
