Bitext receives funding from Inveready  

Inveready has led a $900.000 round in Bitext. Bitext is a semantic analysis technology for large volumes of data, very useful for companies to analyse and understand the large amount of text generated by their customers, employees or competitors, on social networks, the web or any other electronic media.

Its technology applies text analytics for the extraction of entities or concepts, text categorisation and, above all, the most demanded by brands today, sentiment analysis.

"This is the first round closed by Bitext, founded in 2008 in Madrid. In addition to Inveready, several business angels have participated in this round that aims to accelerate its international development, especially in the United States where it has most of the business" says Diego Gutierrez of Abra- Invest.

Sentisis receives a $$1.3M round

Sentisisis a data analysis platform, with a registered "NLP" language system that allows segmenting the conversation in social networks by topic, type of person or opinion thanks to a combination of a linguistic analysis system by industries and countries and Machine Learning,

 The round was led by AXON Partners Group and FIDES, the investment arm of the José Manuel Entrecanales Foundation. In addition, other investment funds that have already participated in previous rounds have also taken part such as Startcaps Ventures or Meet and Money.

The round aims to enhance the technological development and internationalisation of its business lines around the Hispanic world.

"In 2014, Sentisis already got the support of 500 Mexican startups to boost its expansion project in Latin America," says Diego Gutierrez.

Advanced data anlytics is a weapon". Intelfin is an artificial intelligence tool we use for investing and creating value in SMEs through competitive analytics and the enterprise environment.

IntelFin consists of a cognitive system, which, through the application of advanced analytical technologies, facilitates the automation of investment and financing decisions in the field of non-listed companies and especially SMEs in high-growth sectors.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?
