Tarci (formerly Leadgence), a continuous intelligence engine that generates dynamic data on Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMB), announced that the company has raised $17 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Sound Ventures, with participation from Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, Global Founders Capital, and additional strategic investors.
Tarci has developed a breakthrough proprietary continuous intelligence engine that constantly collects and analyzes the huge magnitude of small business signals to create accurate, actionable insights already used by commercial teams at Fortune 200 companies focused on SMBs. The company's enterprise partners cite its Continuous Intelligence as the driver behind a 6X increase in customer LTV and a 15% reduction in CAC. Sales teams using Tarci have significantly seen conversion increase by an average of 2X.
"At Sound Ventures, we are always on the lookout for companies that are forging new categories with fresh approaches to problems that many have previously tried to solve and failed," said Effie Epstein, Managing Partner at Sound Ventures and Tarci board member. "Tarci is addressing this problem with its continuous intelligence engine and equipping large enterprises--that have accepted stagnant data as the status quo--with a totally new way to engage SMBs."
"Companies are in total darkness as they try to sort through the huge magnitude of data on more than 80 million SMBs worldwide," said Leetal Gruper, Tarci Co-Founder and CEO. "Until our solution, there has been no way to sort through it to make real-time actionable business decisions. Our proprietary Continuous Intelligence provides a bright light on what is accurate and actionable. Especially in times of economic headwinds, it's more important than ever that enterprises have continuous intelligence that drives cost-effective results."
The raise comes on the heels of a breakout year for Tarci. The company will use the funding to continue its aggressive growth and plans to continue hiring for its globally distributed team.
About Tarci:
Founded by Leetal Gruper and Sergey Bahchissaraitsev, Tarci's continuous intelligence engine regularly collects, analyzes, and translates billions of signals from diversified sources, turning big data into actionable insights. The company's dynamic data already drives the increased efficiency and productivity of customer-facing teams at Fortune 200 companies, including leading financial institutions, insurance companies, and enterprises that sell to small and mid-size businesses. Tarci is backed by Sound Ventures, Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, Global Founders Capital, and strategic investors.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - September 7, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
The Kelly Foundation awarded $100,000 to Saint John's Program for Real Change, an organization that operates the largest shelter for women and children experiencing homelessness in the Sacramento region. The donation will go towards building strong family support structures leading to generational independence and less homelessness.
"Saint John's directly impacts the lives of women and children desperate for change, and we are excited to partner with an organization that helps the community thrive one life at a time," said Shawn Kelly Devlin, Chairman of the Board of the Kelly Foundation and of River City Bank. "We're confident this donation will support families in need to become self-sufficient after experiencing such challenging circumstances."
"We are proud to support the women and children of the Saint John's Program for Real Change and respect their ambition to better their lives after undergoing detrimental situations," said Steve Fleming, President and CEO of River City Bank.
After an expansion in 2017, Saint John's added 11 modular homes in 2021, which house up to 55 individuals. Saint John's now serves up to 320 women and children daily with an ongoing waitlist. Members receive extensive education, counseling and training to help lead them to a future of success both personally and professionally. In addition, the finest chefs from the Sacramento area partner with Plates Café each month to provide a one-of-a-kind gourmet meal in support of the women and children served at Saint John's Program for Real Change.
"The Kelly Foundation's grant is an investment that will heal lives for generations," said Julie Hirota, CEO of Saint John's Program for Real Change. "We appreciate the Kelly Foundation and River City Bank for believing in women and children who work so hard and choose to permanently escape the cycle of poverty and dependence."
The Kelly Foundation supports health and human services, education, culture, environment, and civic improvement through its funding. During the Foundation's 2022 fiscal year, approximately $850,000 in grants were provided to organizations that support the Sacramento region. Since merging with the RCB Foundation in 2009, the Kelly Foundation, of which River City Bank remains a major contributor, focuses on giving back to the greater Sacramento region through charitable donations.

Ownerly Named Task Management Solution of the Year in the 2022 PropTech Breakthrough Awards
US Department of Energy Awarded $900,000 to Petrolern LLC as the Winner of the...
ATLANTA - September 7, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Petrolern, a clean energy technology company, was announced by DOE's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management as the final winner of its SMART Visualization Platform Prize Challenge.
The prize of $900,000 was awarded to Petrolern for developing the GeoDeck Visualization Platform, a first-of-its-kind tool that uses science-based machine learning and data analytics to visualize changes in subsurface features quickly and accurately. The purpose of the competition was to create a visualization tool allowing non-experts and experts alike to interact directly with subsurface data in real time to enhance decision-making for safer and more environmentally friendly subsurface operations, including CO2 or hydrogen storage, geothermal energy, and oil and gas production.
GeoDeck is an innovative, web-based software which will transform how scientists, engineers, regulators, and the public interact with the subsurface by providing real-time visualizations of subterranean fluid flows, fractures, and other features. GeoDeck creates a fast and seamless user experience through hardware acceleration and GPU utilization imbedded in modern browser environments. Moreover, since subsurface datasets are often too large to be remotely handled by browsers, GeoDeck intelligently and dynamically reduces the data overhead within the loading process.
"With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the carbon storage industry is poised for substantial growth in the next few years. We are excited to see how an easy-to-use platform like GeoDeck can be utilized to better communicate what we have learned about safely implementing carbon storage to all stakeholders — regulators, operators, and community members," said Grant Bromhal, Technical Director of NETL's SMART initiative.
"We are proud of this prestigious award and very grateful to the DOE SMART Initiative team for creating this opportunity for innovative companies to address important industry challenges," said Dr. Hamed Soroush, Petrolern's CEO. "There is a need for identification of subsurface risks associated with subsurface operations in real time to avoid catastrophic hazards. GeoDeck is designed to make subsurface visualization quick, intuitive, and accessible to a wide range of users while not sacrificing the required details for accurate decision-making. It runs on most commercial web browsers allowing for rapid deployment. Our team of engineers and geoscientists are working hard to finalize the product for release in 2023. This award is a valuable recognition of our team's dedicated efforts to support the energy transition."
