As part of our expanding service to companies and investors, Snowball Effect has been mandated to facilitate private investment for a number of companies. We do this by connecting these companies with suitable investors within our network. These companies may be seeking expertise as well as private capital, or they may just be after additional capital to complete an existing round.
Our aim is to bring you concise summaries of private opportunities, so you can quickly assess if they match your interests. Some of these companies are happy to have an overview of their business presented publicly. In order to protect company and commercial confidentiality, we are providing a short briefing on each of those businesses.

Background
SYLO is an off-cloud communication application for professionals that enables people to seamlessly conduct online video and audio sessions and transmit data (files, documents, media) with peers and clients confidentially and securely.
SYLO makes this possible by facilitating direct connection between users (nothing is stored in the cloud) with unique end-to-end encryption for each communication. This results in SYLO being able to deliver confidential and high-quality real-time communication. It could be described as the Whatsapp for professionals (but with video).
SYLO is available on all major platforms (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android) and has been benchmarked against all well-known communication apps currently in market, with superior results in terms of connection speed and call quality (including resolution in the case of video calls). The largest market to adopt SYLO since launch is professionals within the Mental Health space (online clinical sessions), and the Legal market.
