Globe Advances Enterprise Innovation as Netopia AI Joins 917Ventures’ Velocity Program

The Globe Group is reinforcing its role as an innovation platform by connecting startups with real enterprise environments, helping emerging technologies move beyond pilots to large-scale deployment. Through its venture builder 917Ventures, Globe enables startups to collaborate directly with its companies, testing solutions in live operational settings.

This is made possible through Velocity, a platform designed to help startups validate and scale solutions via enterprise partnerships rather than relying solely on traditional accelerators or investment models. By giving access to real-world use cases, Velocity allows founders to refine their technologies while businesses tap innovations that improve customer and enterprise outcomes.

Netopia AI, creator of behavioral AI platform Predikta, is the first startup to formally collaborate under Velocity. Predikta leverages behavioral AI and digital population modeling to anticipate public sentiment and responses, enabling organizations to make data-driven decisions and refine campaigns, products, or policies.

Through this partnership, Netopia AI will work with Brave Connective Holdings and its subsidiaries AdSpark and Inquiro to explore how predictive behavioral insights can strengthen marketing intelligence, communications strategies, and enterprise decision-making.

“By working with Globe through Velocity, we’re stress-testing Predikta where it matters most—inside complex, real-world enterprises. That feedback loop strengthens our behavioral AI models and translates directly into more accurate predictions and measurable commercial impact for businesses,” said Axel Kornerup, Co-Founder and CEO of Netopia AI.

For Globe, the initiative supports a strategy of connecting startups and enterprises to accelerate the adoption of technologies at scale. “Velocity reflects Globe’s commitment to building meaningful partnerships that create tangible business and customer impact,” said Vince Yamat, CEO & Managing Director of 917Ventures.

“Collaborating with Netopia AI enables us to harness predictive behavioral insights, helping brands understand their audiences and engage them more meaningfully,” added Nikko Acosta, Group CEO & President of Brave Connective Holdings.

As more businesses turn to predictive tools for decision-making, Globe continues to position itself as an innovation enabler, connecting startups with enterprise opportunities to deliver smarter outcomes for customers and enterprises alike.
