Senior Housing Wealth Reaches Record $7.82 Trillion

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Homeowners 62 and older saw their housing wealth grow by 1.6 percent or $121 billion in the third quarter to a record $7.82 trillion from Q12 2020, the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association reported today in its quarterly release of the NRMLA/RiskSpan Reverse Mortgage Market Index.

…

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Homeowners 62 and older saw their housing wealth grow by 1.6 percent or $121 billion in the third quarter to a record $7.82 trillion from Q12 2020, the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association reported today in its quarterly release of the NRMLA/RiskSpan Reverse Mortgage Market Index.

The RMMI rose in Q3 2020 to 280.99, another all-time high since the index was first published in 2000.  The increase in senior homeowner’s wealth was mainly driven by an estimated 1.6 percent or $149 billion increase in senior home values, offset by a 1.6 percent or $28 billion increase in senior-held mortgage debt.

«The reverse mortgage marketplace has greatly expanded over the past year to include more private-label products that offer consumers more options and greater flexibility compared to the FHA-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage,» says NRMLA President Steve Irwin. «While the HECM still accounts for over 90 percent of the market, we expect private-label reverse mortgage distribution channels to expand over time.»

About Reverse Mortgages
Reverse mortgages are available to homeowners age 62 and older with significant home equity. They are a versatile financial tool that seniors can use to borrow against the equity in their home without having to make monthly principal or interest payments as with a traditional «forward» mortgage or a home equity loan. Under a reverse mortgage, funds are advanced to the borrower and interest accrues, but the outstanding balance is not due until the last borrower leaves the home, sells or passes away.

To date, more than 1.21 million households have utilized an FHA-insured reverse mortgage to help meet their financial needs. For more information, please visit www.ReverseMortgage.org

About the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association
The National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association (NRMLA) is the national voice for the industry and represents the lenders, loan servicers, and housing counseling agencies responsible for more than 90 percent of reverse mortgage transactions in the United States. All NRMLA member companies commit themselves to a Code of Ethics & Professional Responsibility. Learn more at www.nrmlaonline.org.

Avocado Green Mattress Earns Prestigious Forest Stewardship Council Certification

HOBOKEN, N.J., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — After an extensive audit process, the Forest Steward Council®  — the global leader in responsible forest management — certified Avocado Green Brands as an FSC-certified company.

HOBOKEN, N.J., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — After an extensive audit process, the Forest Steward Council®  — the global leader in responsible forest management — certified Avocado Green Brands as an FSC-certified company. By certifying Avocado, makers of organic and eco-luxury sleep products, FSC has traced the path of its products coming from forests and validated the exclusive use of FSC-certified companies through the supply chain. An FSC-certified company manages forests in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers, while ensuring it sustains economic viability. Avocado’s forest materials include GOTS organic certified latex for use in their mattresses and pillows and timber for use in their furniture line.

«Certification from FSC is one of the most difficult standards a company can achieve,» said George Mathew, Avocado’s Vice President of Components Sourcing, Standards, & Certifications. «It’s extremely prestigious, and it means Avocado’s products are harnessing materials from the most responsibly-managed forests in the world.»

The authority on forest certification, the independent, nonprofit Forest Stewardship Council has 25 years of sustainable forest management experience — providing a credible link between responsible production and consumers who want products that benefit people and the environment. To become an FSC-certified supplier, a company must meet the 10 principles and 57 criteria that support FSC’s mission to promote environmentally sound, socially beneficial and economically prosperous management of the world’s forests. Supporting FSC-certified products reduces the greenhouse gasses that lead to climate change while protecting wildlife habitat and supporting sustainable jobs.

«We’re continuing to push what it means to be a sustainable company,» says Mark Abrials, Avocado Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer. «This rigorous certification from the most trusted source in forest management is validation that we’re doing exactly that.»

Avocado is a proud certified B Corp and the first mattress company to become Climate Neutral certified. That means they voluntarily offset more than 100% of their emissions, from resource extraction all the way to shipping, by supporting carbon offset projects through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation. The offset projects help mitigate climate change and support innovation in addressing greenhouse gas emissions reductions.

Avocado is redefining what it means to be a sustainable, ethical brand. As a Certified B-Corp, their vision is as urgent as it is aspirational — a world united by sustainability and social responsibility. They practice radical transparency and a «farm-to-bedroom» approach; they co-own a latex farm, factory, and wool collective in India — from where they source and process raw materials. Mattresses are handcrafted in a Los Angeles factory that they also own. Their materials, factory, and finished products are GOTS/GOLS organic certified. Their mattresses are also GREENGUARD Gold certified for low emissions, MADE SAFE® certified, and have achieved STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® for both human and ecological safety. As a Climate Neutral® Certified business, Avocado is the world’s first mattress brand to achieve net-negative carbon emissions across its entire business scope. As long-standing members of 1% for the Planet and recipients of their inaugural Pinnacle Award, one percent of all revenue is donated to environmental nonprofits on an annual basis.

FINTOP Capital Leads Investment With General Partner John Philpott Joining Qohash’s Board of Directors

FINTOP Capital Leads Investment With General Partner John Philpott Joining Qohash’s Board of Directors

QUEBEC CITY,QC, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – As industries continue to face economic upheaval in the wake of COVID-19, data security startup Qohash has announced raising CAD 8 million in a Series A round of funding led by FINTOP Capital. Qohash is the next generation of security for a data-driven world through trailblazing solutions and inclusive company culture. 

In the last year, tens of millions around the world now telecommute. In Owl Labs’ «State of Remote Work» report, 52% of employees work remotely at least once per week. The influx of millions operating on personal, unsecured computers gave rise to a wave of cyberattacks in 2020, critically impacting some of the world’s largest brands. According to ISACA, the financial fallout is projected to reach USD 6 billion.

Now more than ever, consumers look for a deeper level of trust regarding their data’s custodianship, and companies have a greater responsibility to protect their customers’ sensitive data. Working with leading financial institutions seeking smarter applications that seamlessly adapt to remote work complexities, Qohash’s data security technology is designed to meet an ever-changing landscape. 

Far too many companies are unwittingly using data security technologies that are cumbersome and outdated, leaving them unable to face today’s challenges, let alone equipped to anticipate tomorrow’s. Qohash is the disruptor in an industry that is becoming antiquated and its technology obsolete.

Qohash’s flagship SaaS platform QostodianTM allows companies to monitor sensitive data flow between employees and their personal computers and accounts to detect high-risk situations in real-time. Qostodian makes it possible to secure data with superior deployment, cost, and performance parameters. Qohash ReconTM, an on-premise platform, empowers firms to find and classify sensitive data on network drives and servers — processes that used to take hours now deliver results in minutes. 

«Customers want data protection that can evolve to meet new challenges,» said Qohash CEO Jean Le Bouthillier. «Qohash’s solutions are easy to deploy and cover on-premise and cloud-based sources. Working with security-conscious, industry-leading firms, Qohash has helped them achieve their goals faster and with greater flexibility.»

With plans to expand across North America and accelerate commercialization, Qohash has also announced that John Philpott, General Partner of FINTOP Capital, and Laurent Simoneau, President and CTO of Coveo, will join Qohash’s Board of Directors.

«We are investing capital into a company with a laser focus and commitment to deliver data security solutions that are highly accurate and easy to operationalize,» Philpott said. «It’s our view that the discovery, control, and risk management of sensitive data is a top priority for companies continuing the accelerated move to remote work and zero trust distributed architectures.»

As remote working becomes the new normal, data security should be a top priority for any business. Qohash‘s passion for helping keep businesses secure with 21st-century solutions to mitigate risks is at the core of their success. 

Because Qohash is the future of data security, and that future is now.  

About Qohash:
Qohash is a leader in data security software development that blends innovative and easy to understand security technologies, allowing businesses to gain visibility on sensitive data. Founded in 2018, Qohash is currently available in the U.S. and Canada and has scaled rapidly to provide customers with solutions tailored to meet today’s hybrid and remote work environments in the financial services sector.

Kambr Closes $3 Million Funding Round & Hires Former Revenue Management Systems Executive Sean Moriarty as CTO, While Inking Software Deals with 5 Global Airlines

MINNEAPOLIS and AMSTERDAM, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In a time when much of the industry has been curtailed, travel-tech startup Kambr has continued to grow through customer acquisition, funding and personnel additions despite the global pandemic and air travel demand shock.

MINNEAPOLIS and AMSTERDAM, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In a time when much of the industry has been curtailed, travel-tech startup Kambr has continued to grow through customer acquisition, funding and personnel additions despite the global pandemic and air travel demand shock.

Accelerating Product Development & Growth

Kambr closed its latest seed round of $3 million, bringing the travel-tech startup’s total funding to $7 million. The additional funds will be used to accelerate Kambr’s product development initiatives and scale its commercial operations.

Private equity investors Jim Collis and Bill Luby and industry veteran Michael Scheeringa lead the latest round, joining the ranks of Kambr investor including, Founder Collective, Global Founders Capital, Studio VC, Silicon Badia, C2 Ventures Capital Partners and TXV Partners who invested in the previous round.

«A key differentiator of Kambr is the focus on total commercial optimization of a customer versus fare-based revenue management,» said investor S. Michael Scheeringa of SAR Trilogy Management. «The leadership team has the vision and practical experience to transform revenue management practices; and is providing airlines a powerful tool in the post-COVID-19 demand world.»

Fortifying Leadership Ranks & Technical Prowess

As the company builds its global footprint, it’s also fortifying its own ranks. Kambr also announced the hiring of Sean Moriarty as its Chief Technology Officer. Leaving his 14-year tenure at Revenue Management Systems – An Accelya Group Company, Moriarty comes on board to accelerate innovation, as Kambr continues to lead airlines to new levels of productivity and performance for their revenue analysts.

«I’m excited to be joining this team of seasoned and agile revenue management experts. The timing is right for a shakeup in parts of the airline industry, said Moriarty. «I’ve seen firsthand how frustrating it can be when airlines feel like they are not getting ahead of the curve, so I find Kambr’s trailblazing approach to be very refreshing and necessary.»

Moriarty will lead Kambr’s growing development team, working closely with co-founder Michael Peters, applying their product and industry acumen to deliver revenue management solutions that un-constrain revenue analysts, freeing up time so they can do more meaningful, revenue generating work at a fraction of the cost.

Global Customer Expansion

In addition to publicly announcing software deals with three airlines in the past year, Kambr has signed two other airlines soon to be announced. Chilean Sky Airline, Russian Ural Airlines and Turkish Corendon Airlines have all been impressed with both the software and the consultation provided by Kambr.

«Kambr’s team and system are much more flexible. Therefore, it was easy to make a decision because Kambr is willing to apply their expertise to fit our specific needs. We would’ve had more trouble with the other solutions,» said Olcay Türker, CTO, Corendon Airlines.

One of Kambr’s unique selling points is its product’s ability to seamlessly plug into an airline’s existing tech stack instead of uprooting entire systems.

«Kambr has a strong product vision which fits well with our strategic objectives. The integration of Amadeus real-time data has led to significant productivity gains,» said Skuratov.» In addition, we highly value the Kambr team’s expertise and support.»
