Amber Group’s Accelerator Amber.ac Launches OPC Hackathon in Singapore

Published

on

SINGAPORE, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Amber Global Limited (“Amber Group”), a global leader in digital asset innovation, today announced the launch of OPC Hackathon, organized by amber.ac and co-hosted with Amber Group. The one-day hackathon on July 12 will bring together 300 builders in Singapore to explore the rise of the One Person Company (OPC) and the future of agentic services. Top-performing teams will compete for an awards package that includes US$140,500 in AWS credits and Claude memberships.

Designed for founders, engineers, researchers, designers and independent builders, the hackathon brings together Singapore’s ecosystem to build and showcase solutions across AI agents and end-to-end agentive services. The event reflects amber.ac’s commitment to supporting the next generation of AI-native founders and exploring how individual expertise can scale through the combination of human judgment and AI execution into scalable AI-powered businesses.

A New Frontier: Autonomous Agents & Sovereignty

Autonomous Agents & Sovereignty represents an emerging paradigm where AI agents can perceive context, coordinate tasks, make decisions, and execute work across software and services, while human operators retain ownership, judgment, and control. As agents become more capable, the core question is no longer only what AI can automate, but how humans can direct autonomous systems responsibly and turn them into scalable products and services.

Participants will build across two tracks:

Autonomous Agent Systems: Develop AI agents, multi-agent workflows, orchestration frameworks, productivity tools, and AI-native applications capable of supporting real-world execution.Sovereign OPC Models: Create agentic services and One Person Company workflows where human expertise, judgment, and review guide AI execution across research, coding, design, operations, and delivery.

As part of this year’s initiative, OPC Hackathon introduces the One Person Company (OPC) as a core builder model for the Agentic Era. By combining human judgment with AI execution, OPC builders can use autonomous agents to transform individual expertise into scalable Agentive Services, while maintaining control over direction, quality, and value creation.

Awards and Opportunities

Top-performing teams will receive AWS Credits and Claude memberships to help carry their projects beyond the event. The awards are designed to support participants as they continue developing Agentive Services beyond the hackathon, with access to cloud infrastructure and AI tools that can help teams build, test, and scale their projects.

Confirmed support includes:

1st Place: US$10,000 AWS Credits and Claude Max membership, with Max 20x for 3 months or Max 5x for 6 months2nd – 3rd Place: US$4,500 AWS Credits and Claude Max membership, with Max 5x for 3 months4th – 5th Place: US$4,500 AWS Credits and Claude Max membership, with Max 5x for 1 monthTop 30 Teams: US$4,500 AWS Credits and Claude Pro access

Eligibility to receive AWS Credits is subject to AWS’s startup credit policy. Participating teams must receive prize benefits through a registered company entity. Full eligibility requirements, distribution procedures, and award terms are available in the OPC Hackathon Rules.

Outstanding teams may also receive continued support through BUIDL_QUESTS, including:

Technical sharing from industry leadersAccess to mentors, judges, investors, and ecosystem partnersExposure to Singapore’s AI and startup ecosystemOpportunities to join future founder programs and continue developing their projects beyond the hackathon

Event Agenda

Insurify Exceeds 250 Million Auto Insurance Quotes Served

Published

on

By

The milestone reflects Insurify’s industry dominance as an insurance comparison platform that helps Americans compare quotes, saving consumers up to $1,100* on their auto insurance policy.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Insurify, the leading online insurance comparison platform, announced today that its total number of real-time auto insurance quotes served to American consumers has reached a landmark 250 million. With a quote database that’s more than three times larger than the publicly reported volume of major competitors, Insurify empowers auto insurance shoppers to compare quotes and buy policies entirely online.

Since its launch in 2016, millions of drivers have turned to Insurify to find better coverage at a lower price. In the last year alone, Insurify users saved up to $1,100* on their auto insurance policy, annually.

“Reaching this landmark speaks to the trust insurance shoppers place in Insurify,” said Snejina Zacharia, founder and co-CEO of Insurify. “This volume of quotes enables Insurify to provide insurance shoppers with the most accurate quotes possible, and provide data-driven consumer insights.”

Insurify is also the go-to source for major media outlets needing verified auto insurance quote data. Its robust database spans all 50 states, Washington, D.C., including metropolitan and rural areas, and multiple coverage levels, and driver profiles.

How Insurify differs from lead-generation ‘comparison’ sites

Insurify’s 250-million-quote database of real-time insurance quotes sets it apart from lead-generation sites, which gather information from insurance shoppers and then sell it to third parties.

Every auto insurance quote Insurify provides comes from its integrations with more than 120 partner insurance companies. Quotes reflect real-time auto insurance rates, and are personalized to each driver’s actual location, driver profile, driving record, credit history (where state law permits it), and additional rating factors insurance companies use when setting rates.

Leading in data-driven consumer insights

The scale of Insurify’s database enables precise national, state and city-level analysis that reflects an authentic consumer experience. Insurify translates these analyses into relatable, highly digestible consumer-focused insights that help drive insurance shoppers’ decision making.

This empowers consumers to:

Track insurance costs by car modelKnow when auto insurance rates dropGet insight into how DUIs, accidents, and tickets, change rates over timeUnderstand how factors like, age, gender and credit history, affect rates

“When drivers come to our platform they are not just shopping for insurance. They are trying to find more room in their budget for groceries, housing costs, and other necessities,” Zacharia said. “To meet the diverse needs of all U.S. consumers, Insurify partners with national, regional, and niche insurers. We want someone who comes to our platform to find a policy that meets their needs and fits their budget.”

About Insurify:

Insurify is America’s top-rated online insurance marketplace, offering a secure, spam-free way to compare and buy coverage. With a network of 120-plus carrier partners, Insurify empowers consumers to compare auto, home, pet, and renters insurance in minutes, online or with the help of a licensed agent. Since 2016, Insurify’s AI-powered technology has served over 250 million quotes. By using Insurify, customers can save hundreds of dollars annually, with some saving up to 50% on their premiums. In 2026, Insurify expanded its innovation with Insurify Car, providing liability-only coverage through flexible, weekly payment options underwritten by its insurance carrier partners.

* Average potential savings based on initial quotes received by 31,051 customers seeking insurance through Insurify. Actual savings may vary depending on state of residence, individual circumstances, coverage selections, and insurance provider. Savings and lowest rates do not reflect typical results.

Alta Raises $25M to Redefine the Go-to-Market Architecture for Revenue Teams

Published

on

By

By transforming the GTM stack, Alta’s AI team brings a learning curve managers can only dream about

TEL AVIV, Israel, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Alta, the AI System of Actions for go-to-market teams, today announced $25 million in Series A funding. The round was led by IN Venture, with participation from Mindset Ventures, Skywell Capital, LeumiTech77 and existing investors Entrée Capital, Target Global, and Verissimo Ventures, along with prominent angel investors and scout funds.

Alta will use the funding to accelerate growth by expanding its team globally, growing its customer base, and enhancing the platform – adding new data, CRM, and advertising integrations, as well as introducing agents for account management and cross-selling.

Alta hit its first million in revenue within months of commercializing and is on track for 800% revenue growth this year. Its platform is already being used by Snowflake, Deel, Atlassian, and Atoms, as well as hundreds of businesses, from Fortune 500 companies to SMBs.

For decades, GTM has run on “systems of record”: CRMs and data warehouses storing information until a human acts on it and dozens of disjointed tools that don’t communicate.  As companies increasingly implement AI, the industry has bet on AI agents as point solutions for automating outbound or inbound GTM at scale. The results, however, often fall short, and can even exacerbate problems by scaling broken playbooks. Even though AI allows teams to generate more activity, pipelines remain flat, lead quality has fallen, and reply rates have dropped as buyers’ inboxes are filled with generic, monotonous, AI-generated outreach.

Industry leaders like Salesforce and HubSpot have introduced agent-enablement layers through APIs, MCP tools, and CLI interfaces, underscoring a broader race to add intelligence to systems originally designed for data storage and workflow management. But retrofitting intelligence onto legacy architectures is fundamentally different from building an intelligence-native platform from the ground up – one that understands business context, orchestrates every customer and operational touchpoint, and continuously compounds value through real-world outcomes. Recognizing this need, Alta designed and built its solutions.

Alta tackles the challenge of deploying AI agents by first building a “Company Brain” that serves as a centralized intelligence layer that maps exactly how a business’s GTM engine works. Instead of relying on a fragmented stack of disconnected software, Alta replaces them with a single, coordinated network of AI agents that learn from every action. Powered by this shared “Brain” and fueled by more than 50 data sources and hundreds of buying signals, these agents orchestrate and act on existing systems of record, collaborating and evolving as a single unit with every single interaction. The platform partners with Salesforce, HubSpot, IBM, and Google, and connects to 60+ GTM tools, including Attio and Clay, enabling Alta to run on top of the stack teams already in use rather than locking them into a closed box.

“Before the cloud, every company building software racked and maintained its own servers,” said Stav Levi-Neumark, CEO and Co-founder of Alta. “We’re doing for go-to-market what AWS did for infrastructure and the cloud: transforming a stack of cobbled-together tools that never communicated into one system that simply runs well, learns, and drives revenue pipelines and sales.”

“The market spent three years adding tools to the sales stack. The team at Alta went the other way and built the intelligence layer the whole stack was missing,” said Eitan Naor, Managing Partner at IN Venture (Member of Sumitomo Corporation’s Venture Group). “Alta isn’t competing in a category — it’s defining one. That’s why we wanted to lead this round, and why we’re excited to introduce Alta to Japan and Southeast Asia, backed by Sumitomo’s global reach.”

“Having worked closely with Stav at monday.com, I knew firsthand her rare ability to turn complex data into explosive growth,” said Avi Eyal, Managing Partner at Entrée Capital. The Alta team is not just building another AI feature; they are fundamentally redefining GTM architecture. Watching them scale from inception to this milestone proves that the market is starving for a single, intelligent system of action.”

About Alta

Alta is the AI System of Actions for go-to-market. We run your GTM, replacing the fragmented sales stack with coordinated AI agents that share one Company Brain and compound with every interaction. Founded in 2023 by Stav Levi-Neumark and Tom Hoffen, both ex-monday.com, and serial entrepreneur Mor Shabtai, Alta handles prospecting, research, multi-channel outbound, inbound qualification, AI calling, and continuous optimization. Alta hit its first million in revenue within months of commercializing and is on track for 800% revenue growth this year. Its customers include revenue teams at Snowflake, Deel, Atlassian, Atoms, Riverside, and Sabio Group. Learn more at altahq.com.
