Netopia AI joins Velocity by 917Ventures, the venture building arm of Globe. Identified from a global pipeline of over 200 startups evaluated for enterprise alignment, Netopia AI will integrate with the Globe ecosystem through its omnitech subsidiary, Brave Connective Holdings, to validate and scale its behavioral AI product, Predikta.

Predikta addresses the "invisible risk" of traditional marketing—the millions spent on messaging without knowing how the public will react. By using "digital populations" to simulate human sentiment and behavior in minutes, the platform allows decision-makers to predict audience responses before a single peso is spent on a real-world launch.

“What if you could understand how people are likely to respond before you launch?” said Axel Kornerup, co-founder and CEO of Netopia AI. “Working within the Globe ecosystem gives us the scale and diversity needed to rigorously validate Predikta’s simulations and improve their relevance to real-world decision-making.”

Vince Yamat, CEO and managing director of 917Ventures, noted that the partnership reflects a shift toward predictive precision. "At 917Ventures, we partner with startups building technologies that can redefine industries and Predikta demonstrates strong potential to transform how brands and organizations approach strategy and communications. Through Velocity, we aim to help founders validate and deploy solutions in real-world environments. Solutions like Predikta can then help businesses move from reactive strategies to proactive, data-led success.”

917Ventures will take an equity stake in Netopia AI while enabling access to Globe’s infrastructure and enterprise environment. This allows Predikta to collaborate with Brave Connective and its subsidiaries, AdSpark and Inquiro, across diverse real-world use cases.

“Traditional analytics describe patterns, but they often fail to explain why people behave the way they do,” added Jason Albia, co-founder and CTO of Netopia AI. “Our interdisciplinary team of experts bridges data, behavioral science, and AI to help organizations reason about how people might think, feel, and respond, allowing them to innovate with confidence.”

Nikko Acosta, CEO and President of Brave Connective, emphasized the strategic synergy,"We are incredibly excited to embark on this partnership. At Brave Connective, our mission is to bridge the gap between technology and human connection, and Predikta’s predictive capabilities align perfectly with that vision. We aren't just looking at the future of digital marketing—we are actively leading and shaping it, ensuring every strategic decision is backed by actionable foresight."
