The Electronic Transactions Association (ETA) today announced the ten payments technology startups that will participate in the Payments’ NexTen program, sponsored by Worldpay, at TRANSACT, the world’s largest payments technology event, April 30-May 2 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
“The payments industry is at an inflection point of technological revolution, and the entire ecosystem benefits from new and innovative approaches to solving complex problems,” said ETA Interim CEO Amy Zirkle. “ETA is thrilled to partner with Worldpay to bring these leading-edge startups to the epicenter of payments innovation – TRANSACT.”
NexTen participants will pitch their solution to a panel of industry mentors, partake in educational sessions designed for new entrants to the payments industry, and network with peers, investors and corporate leaders at TRANSACT. The startups will receive complimentary registration and exhibit space at the show.

- BIM Networks: A platform that enables merchants to connect consumer checking accounts to their apps and website and can be used whenever their customers want to buy goods and services from them.
- DataSeers: A solution that received structured and unstructured data, cleans, ingests, labels and augments the data to prepare it to go through AI and ML algorithms for better results and highly-successful predictability in order to help clients with back-office operations like compliance and fraud detection.
- Everyware Inc.: a pay-by-text solution that allows businesses to send a simple text message with a secure link to click-to-pay with no interaction to complete the payment. Customers can reply with questions or concerns, and Everyware’s conversational payment gateway sends automated text receipts after every purchase to authorize and validate transactions.
- HealPay: SettlementApp software from HealPay uses data to offer the best payment plans to consumers who have debt. HealPay offers a suite of cloud-based apps that enable online payment processing for various sectors.

- Token Transit: Token Transit is a shared mobility marketplace powered by city governments, providing an online account system for payment for public transit which lets the user verify their payment with an inexpensive IoT device.
The participants were selected for the program from a highly-competitive pool of applicants by a panel of payments executives, entrepreneurs and investors based on their innovative approaches to solving the following critical payments industry challenges identified by Worldpay and ETA:
- Facial Recognition & Biometrics: How can we use biometric technology to validate the cardholder’s identity at the time of payment?
- Internet of Things (IoT): How can we integrate payment systems with IoT-connected devices in order to streamline the payment cycle?
- Data: How can we use existing merchant data (that’s already being collected) to streamline, augment, or otherwise improve the merchant experience?
- Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning: How can we deploy AI and/or machine learning in the payment cycle to automatically validate transactions and make the payment experience as seamless and invisible as possible?
- Contactless Payments: How can we increase adoption of contactless payments in the U.S. market, both on the consumer side and the merchant side?
TRANSACT, happening April 30-May 2 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, provides 4,000 attendees with a robust exhibit hall with more than 200 exhibitors, extensive networking events, and forward-looking educational sessions on the groundbreaking technologies, trends and policies shaping the payments industry.

Humboldt Seed Company partners with Apollo Green to bring California cannabis genetics to the global marketplace
Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.
The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.
Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.
“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”
Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
