Giftz Named One of the Most Fundable Companies® in the U.S. According to Pepperdine Graziadio Business School and The Venture Alliance

LOS ANGELES, October 23, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Giftz, LLC (a Rewards Media, Inc., company) is thrilled to announce that it is a winner of the 2019-2020 Pepperdine Graziadio Business School’s initiative to identify the most investable companies. ​Giftz competed against thousands of early-stage U.S. companies with less than $10 million in annual revenue. Of the 15 finalists, Giftz was the only one that uses blockchain technology. Most Fundable Companies^® were evaluated and selected in partnership with The Venture Alliance (TVA) based on their readiness for private investment.

The competition involved a multi-phase assessment over several months that evaluated variables including financial projections, market opportunity, intellectual property and the strength of the management team, all of which were used to produce a fundability score. 

While receiving the award at the event, John Paukulis (the company’s Founder/CEO) announced that Giftz’s $1M Seed Round was funded and they are now oversubscribing. Giftz investments come from Draper Network/Goren Holm Ventures, DNA (a well-known blockchain fund), Emilio Diez Barroso (Televisa Family) and Linda Giambrone (Current Head of NBC Primetime TV).

Launching in early 2020, the Giftz mobile app will provide a central place to collect, gift, exchange, or redeem branded currencies, gift cards, points and miles on any smart device.

As a winner of the Most Fundable Companies List, Giftz will be profiled on Entrepreneur.com and will be featured in the December print issue of the magazine.
