NetGiver announced as winner of the NACUSO Next Big Idea Competition!

It was an enormous honor for NetGiver to win the NACUSO Next Big Idea competition 2020 earlier this week. It was truly an humbling and we are so thankful to NACUSO, CO-OP Financial Services and all who made this happen. In a strange year, a year in which we hunkered in a conference room, NetGiver pitched to the audience and judges via video conference instead of being in a room full of people. 

Yet, we were all able to participate because NACUSO, CO-OP Financial Services, and the whole team made it happen. How? Innovation, collaboration and great technology. 

In the final 4 playoffs, the audience saw and heard pitches from a great lineup of innovators:

• Illuma Labs (https://www.illuma-labs.com) featuring their new technology. “Illuma Shield” is a real-time voice authentication and fraud prevention service for credit union call centers.

• Posh Technologies (https://www.posh.tech) has built a powerful conversational AI platform that is more humanlike and natural. 

• Pure IT (https://pureitcuso.com) offers customized strategic roadmaps ahead to help the credit union crush their goals, regardless of what solution or gadget they implement.

These companies provide the kind of value to credit unions that make it not only possible, but easier to offer NetGiver to credit union members. It was not lost on us at NetGiver that in a competition of the “next big ideas” in the credit union space, we were included among giants who are already doing big, big work. All three of the other companies in this competition compliment each other in different ways. Already, these three companies are working together to help improve the lives of members. 

We tip our hat to Illuma Labs, Posh Technologies and Pure IT and look forward to working with them to help improve the lives and experiences of credit union members. After all, that’s what the cooperative model is all about. 

A Next Big Idea win doesn’t happen without support from a great team, our teammates at NetGiver, our board of directors, our investors and our partners. Thanks to all of you for all you do to make NetGiver better every day.
