This was the biggest dilemma we faced when building our business… In the early days, agent aggregation seemed like the fastest way to grow. It was easy to set up, scaled rapidly, and required minimal effort. But something felt off. ➤ Compliance risks loomed. Aggregation didn’t align with RBI regulations ➤ Brand loyalty was non-existent. Sub-agents worked for the highest payout, not partnerships ➤ Customer trust was missing. We had no direct interaction, no control over experience We realized we weren’t here to build a business just running a numbers game. That’s when we made a bold decision of choosing a fulfillment-driven model. It wasn’t the easy path, but it was the right one. Today, we: ➤ Own the customer journey from start to finish ➤ Operate with full compliance & transparency ➤ Have direct relationships with connectors & lenders ➤ Deliver higher margins & sustainable growth Looking back, this shift transformed everything. The right model doesn’t just grow your business—it builds a brand that lasts. Would you have made the same decision? Let’s discuss in the comments! #HousingInclusion #FinancialInclusion #AffordableHousing #Fintech #BusinessStrategy

🌍📱 CE-Ventures Portfolio Spotlight: NorthLadder at MWC 2025 At CE-Ventures, we invest in companies shaping the future, and NorthLadder is redefining circularity in consumer electronics. Last week, they made a powerful impact at MWC Barcelona 2025, the world’s largest mobile industry event. Their key takeaway: sustainability is now a business imperative, not a choice. NorthLadder took center stage, engaging in high-level roundtables and live product demos. Here’s what stood out: 🔹 NorthLadder makes resale a competitive advantage. Their Multi-Buyer Reverse Auction ensures companies maximize residual value while promoting full circularity. Resale is no longer an afterthought—it’s a strategic necessity. 🔹 NorthLadder drives higher customer loyalty: Their seamless, integrated trade-in solutions are a game-changer for telecoms and retailers, providing instant, frictionless, and rewarding experiences for consumers. 🔹 NorthLadder’s pricing engine unlocks value: Their data-driven, transparent, and competitive pricing mechanisms ensure that every device retains maximum worth, benefiting all market participants. 🔹 After the MiddleEast, NorthLadder is doubling down on Europe: with growing regulatory support for circular solutions, they are actively expanding their European partnerships. As investors, we’re proud to support NorthLadder as they reshape the future of resale, reuse, and recycling on a global scale. #CircularEconomy #MWC2025 #TradeIn #Sustainability #CEVentures #NorthLadder

🚀 Exciting Progress in Microbiome-Based Therapeutics! For years, the promise of microbiome therapeutics was met with challenges—low efficacy, inconsistent results, and regulatory hurdles. But the tide is turning. With fresh clinical successes and deeper scientific insights, a new wave of immune-modulating therapeutics is emerging. One of the companies leading this shift is Exeliom Biosciences, a CE-Ventures portfolio company we're incredibly proud to support. Rather than simply modulating gut microbiota, Exeliom is taking a bold, direct approach to reprogramming the immune system—and the results are promising. 🔬 Their lead candidate, EXL01, is an oral Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (F. prau)-based therapeutic that leverages a unique mechanism: ✅ Activates the NOD2 pathway in immune cells, driving metabolic reprogramming ✅ Enhances efficacy of existing treatments in oncology & inflammatory diseases ✅ Minimizes systemic immune activation, reducing unintended effects ✅ Bypasses gut microbiome modification, avoiding dysbiosis risks With Phase II trials underway in multiple indications and a clear path to market, Exeliom is redefining what’s possible in microbiome-based drug development. This is just the beginning. As regulatory landscapes evolve and new partnerships form, live biotherapeutics could transform immune system modulation—unlocking synergies with checkpoint inhibitors, anti-TNF therapies, and more. The microbiome revolution is here, and we’re excited to be part of it. What are your thoughts on the future of live biotherapeutics? Let’s discuss! #Microbiome #Biotech #Immunotherapy #LiveBiotherapeutics #Innovation
