Pluto Raises $4M to Bring Automated Trading to the Masses
Being a successful investor requires discipline. The threat of emotional decision-making interfering with trading decisions can be alleviated by implementing a rules-based trading approach. While long-used by high-frequency professional traders, this functionality hasn’t been readily available for retail investors. Pluto is an automated trading platform that brings this functionality to the masses. Without the need for developing algorithms and without coding knowledge, investors can build their own rules-based systems with a few clicks and drag-and-drop functionality. Currently, Pluto only offers paper trading to allow investors to see how their strategies would work in a simulated environment but the company has plans to integrate live trading into its platform. Investors have the option to build their self-directed trading models or buy/lease strategies from Pluto’s marketplace of vetted investment trading models. This marketplace platform is built on Web3, leveraging NFTs. LA TechWatch caught up with Pluto Head of People Caroline Mendel to learn more about the business, the company’s strategic plans, recent round of funding, and much, much more…

Tango Raises Another $14M for its Workforce Documentation Platform That’s Powering an Ever-Increasing Remote Workforce
The rapid shift and popularity of remote work have introduced the need for specific collaboration and communication tools for companies to support this new workforce dynamic. One of the biggest changes is the reduction in synchronous communication (face-to-face) and a corresponding increase in asynchronous communication, making it more difficult for employees to share information across a company network efficiently. Employees spend 1.25 workdays per week searching for documents, information, or people to do their jobs; the revenue impact of this inefficiency is an estimated 20-30% reduction. Tango addresses this for companies with its workflow documentation platform that simplifies capturing processes and provides step-by-step tutorials for virtually any process, ensuring that teams and employees are seamlessly on the same page. Through its browser extension and desktop application, Tango users can capture workflows and annotate them whether it’s for training, employee performance improvement, or onboarding. The captured processes are assembled automatically into a step-by-step guide that can be shared with other employees or even uploaded to a company’s centralized repository for learning management like a wiki. With hybrid work poised to stay in the long run, Tango is making it more viable at scale and the company plans to support 1M users by the end of the year, up from 100K since launch last fall. Companies already using the platform include Verizon, Indeed, LinkedIn, and Netflix.
