Multiplier Holdings launches with US$27.5 million in funding to power AI support for professional services firms
[SINGAPORE] Technology company Multiplier Holdings announced on Thursday (Jun 19) its launch with US$27.5 million in seed and Series A funding, as it builds artificial intelligence (AI)-native professional services companies.
The Series A round was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners with participation from Economic Development Board Investments, the investment arm of SG Growth Capital. Previous investors included SV Angel, and Ribbit Capital which led the seed funding round.
Multiplier acquires professional services companies and onboards them into its AI-driven practice management platform. It helps them develop AI solutions that automate time-consuming tasks and deliver improved outcomes for their clients.
The Singapore-headquartered company also provides hands-on technical support and continues to build new features in collaboration with its acquired companies, to improve scalability of the business.
With regards to the funding, Multiplier will use it to expand its portfolio of businesses on a global stage, and capitalise on a pipeline of interest by companies in tax, accounting and similar professional service sectors. It will also accelerate the development of its AI automation platform, as it continues to hire engineering talent in Singapore and San Francisco.
Founded by former Stripe executive Noah Pepper, Multiplier aims to offer a library of AI and workflow components that can be configured to fit the needs of each acquired company.
'Moving to Singapore for a globally oriented role and seeing the challenge and opportunity people and businesses face operating across borders is what originally inspired the idea behind the company,' said the Singapore-based chief executive and founder.
'We believe the market will reward players who deliver technology-enabled client service through an integrated platform of people and technology.'

LME imposes new restrictions on holders of large positions
[LONDON] The London Metal Exchange (LME) has imposed new restrictions on holders of large positions in nearby contracts amid low inventory levels, it said on Friday (Jun 20). LME took action after premiums for nearby copper contracts jumped to their highest levels since October 2022. The exchange, the world's oldest and largest market for industrial metals, said it has been monitoring large positions in recent months and in some cases, had to take action. 'At times, the LME's Special Committee has directed market participants to take a number of actions to reduce large on-exchange positions relative to prevailing stock levels,' the LME said. 'Given the ongoing low stock environment, the Special Committee now feels it appropriate to introduce ... transparent and generally applicable set of requirements.' The action was taken to head off the development of a potential 'corner' on the market or an 'undesirable situation', it added.

Sign Up Sign Up The new rule expands the LME's existing restrictions on so-called 'tom-next' positions that are closer to delivery, it added. The restriction requires holders of long positions which are greater than the total stocks levels to lend back to the market at a zero premium. In copper, the premium for the cash contract over the three-month forward is trading at US$180 a tonne from a US$3 premium only a month ago. LME data shows there is one company holding a dominant position of more than 90 per cent copper warrants and cash contracts and two companies holding 50 to 79 per cent. Warrants are title documents conferring ownership of metal. Copper stocks in LME registered warehouses at 99,200 tonnes have dropped more than 60 per cent since the middle of February and are at their lowest since August 2023. The LME is owned by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing. REUTERS

Musk's xAI extends deadline and ups yield on bonds following lukewarm demand: source
[NEW YORK] Elon Musk's xAi extended the deadline and increased the yield it is paying on a US$5 billion debt sale following lukewarm reception from investors, a source with direct knowledge of the matter said on Friday (Jun 20). The deadline for investors to commit to buying into the deal, which includes bonds and loans, was extended from Tuesday to Friday, this source said, asking not to be named because the details of the deal were private. xAI also upped the yield on the US$3 billion in bonds and a US$1 billion term loan from 12 per cent to 12.5 per cent yield, they said. xAi sweetened the pot on a second term loan from 700 basis points to 725 basis points over the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, known as SOFR. The term loan B is set to be priced at a discount of 96 US cents on the US dollar, the source said. xAI and Morgan Stanley, which is leading the deal, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. High-yield bonds paid an average yield to maturity of 7.6 per cent as at Thursday, according to ICE BofA High Yield Index. Investors are demanding more for xAI's debt because the company and its bonds are not yet rated, giving investors little visibility into the company's finances and increasing the risk. An increase in the yield offer could mean that investors had probably agreed to buy the debt only for a higher yield. The borrower also has lesser flexibility on pricing when investor demand is modest. If the deal closes on Friday, Morgan Stanley will distribute the securities to investors on Monday, this source said. The xAI offering, which was reported on Jun 2 as Musk and US President Donald Trump traded barbs over social media, did not receive overwhelming interest from high-yield and leveraged loan investors, Reuters reported earlier this week. One portfolio manager, who said he passed on the bonds, said a 'good deal' will typically be oversubscribed by three to four times. xAI would up the yields if it didn't attract enough investors, he added. Unlike Musk's debt deal when he acquired Twitter, Morgan Stanley did not guarantee how much it would sell or commit its own capital to the deal, in what is called a 'best efforts' transaction, according to one source familiar with the terms. xAi did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Morgan Stanley declined to comment. REUTERS

Australia social media teen ban software trial organisers say the tech works, World News
SYDNEY - Some age-checking applications collect too much data and no product works 100 per cent of the time, but using software to enforce a teenage social media ban can work in Australia, the head of the world's biggest trial of the technology said on Friday (June 20). The view from the government-commissioned Age Assurance Technology Trial of more than 1,000 Australian school students and hundreds of adults is a boost to the country's plan to keep under 16s off social media. From December, in a world first ban, companies like Facebook and Instagram owner Meta, Snapchat and TikTok must prove they are taking reasonable steps to block young people from their platforms or face a fine of up to A$49.5 million (S$41 million). Since the Australian government announced the legislation last year, child protection advocates, tech industry groups and children themselves have questioned whether the ban can be enforced due to workarounds like Virtual Private Networks, which obscure an internet user's location. "Age assurance can be done in Australia privately, efficiently and effectively," said Tony Allen, CEO of the Age Check Certification Scheme, the UK-based organisation overseeing the Australian trial. The trial found "no significant tech barriers" to rolling out a software-based scheme in Australia, although there was "no one-size-fits-all solution, and no solution that worked perfectly in all deployments," Allen added in an online presentation. Allen noted that some age-assurance software firms "don't really know at this stage what data they may need to be able to support law enforcement and regulators in the future. "There's a risk there that they could be inadvertently over-collecting information that wouldn't be used or needed." Organisers of the trial, which concluded earlier this month, gave no data findings and offered only a broad overview which did not name individual products. They will deliver a report to the government next month which officials have said will inform an industry consultation ahead of the December deadline. A spokesperson for the office of the eSafety Commissioner, which will advise the government on how to implement the ban, said the preliminary findings were a "useful indication of the likely outcomes from the trial. [[nid:705771]] "We are pleased to see the trial suggests that age assurance technologies, when deployed the right way and likely in conjunction with other techniques and methods, can be private, robust and effective," the spokesperson said. The Australian ban is being watched closely around the world with several governments exploring ways to limit children's exposure to social media.
