LUCA Plus’ parent company, the Block Ledger believes that its entry into EY’s Foundry project will help kickstart growth plans.
“As a start-up you struggle for profile, ideas and connections. Winning entry to the EY Foundry will benefit our growth. You like to think you are on the right path for success and we feel that feedback from some of the world’s best business minds can only assist us in growing more nimbly and sustainably,” said Ivan Cheah, CEO, Block Ledger.
Block Ledger’s seeks to disrupt the accounting and auditing industry by capturing quality transactions via its Luca+ platform and storing onto its proprietary blockchain, Ledgerium. In doing so, auditors can now audit close to 100% of transactions at a fraction of the cost and time compared to traditional methods involving manually going through line by line for any abnormalities.
One of the key selection criteria for the EY Foundry is whether the product and/or service is beneficial or have synergies with their existing business, followed by how easy it is to scale and roll out. Given these it made logical sense for Block Ledger to selected.
Over 150 teams and projects applied to the EY Foundry program. Only 8 were shortlisted to pitch, with 4 selected to be part of the second EY Foundry cohort in Sydney. Aside from Block Ledger, the other 3 teams were in HRtech and Regtech.
