Most publications didn't either, perhaps also distracted by Gates' involvement, wondering, for instance, if the philanthropist and green investor was "hypocritical" for putting money into a company that uses data analysis and geophysical sensors to help oil and gas companies find the best place to drill. But it turns out that NEOS GeoSolutions is formerly Terralliance Technologies Inc., which Kleiner Perkins, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Passport Capital poured hundreds of millions of dollars into before the company stumbled amid controversy over its technology and spending. 4 days ago Reply emeraldruby48 : When a start-up called NEOS GeoSolutions Inc. announced last month that it raised $60 million in venture capital from Microsoft Corp. founder Bill Gates, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and others, it made no reference to its troubled predecessor.

Personal finance startup BillGuard has raised $10 million in second-round financing, and it's using it to expand its service that helps protect accounts from fraudulent activity, the company said Tuesday. BillGuard protects users by registering their credit and debit cards and keeping an eye out for questionable and fraudulent charges. The company uses a crowdsourced approach to identifying unauthorized charges, by not only providing its own detection but also incorporating users' billing complaints to track and analyze payments. BillGuard's big second round of funding comes from a powerhouse group, including Khosla Ventures, Eric Schmidt's Innovation Endeavors and Peter Thiel's Founders Fund. "At Khosla Ventures we love entrepreneurs who dare to tackle large problems with disruptive, bottom-up methods," said Vinod Khosla, founding partner of Khosla Ventures, in a statement.

BillGuard is also exploring the idea of a merchant certification program that would let merchants have access to some its data, and follow up with customers who end up with fraudulent or questionable charges. New York-based BillGuard previously raised $3 million in its first round of funding from Bessemer Venture Partners and IA Ventures. Bill
