Rippleshot, a Chicago, IL-based fraud analytics company, secured $1.2m in bridge funding.
The round was led by KGC Capital with participation from UMB Bank, Wintrust and FinTech accelerator SixThirty. In conjunction with the funding, Jason Henrichs joined Rippleshot’s advisory board. Henrichs co-founded and served as the COO of PerkStreet Financial in Boston and was an early investor in fraud analytics Memento, which was later acquired by FIS.
The company intends to use the funds to expand the team of sales people, developers and account managers
