Vram Ismailyan spent nearly 14 years at Wells Fargo, selling payment infrastructure strategies to Fortune 500 companies.  Despite being a top performer in the payments division, he felt constantly bogged down by the bank’s antiquated technology. “I spent at least five to 10 hours preparing for customer meetings,” he told TechCrunch. “I had to work through 10 or 15 different systems to gather information, make sense of it, and then put it into a PowerPoint.” Like his colleague, Kevin Miyamoto also struggled with Wells Fargo’s tech.

It happened one day.   Jannae Gammage was working with the Small Business Administration as a technology consultant, helping companies get access to capital through traditional lenders, like banks and credit unions. She couldn’t stop thinking, however, that there was a problem: The ways in which lenders and businesses connected were woefully outdated, especially on the technological front.   “I was inside the mess, watching good businesses die, while trying to navigate legacy workflows,” she told TechCrunch. “My literal job was to find technology to solve this, and it didn’t exist.

For any company using software, there is often a difficult balance between patching systems as quickly as possible to prevent cyberattacks while also making sure the updates don’t break how those systems work.  That’s where the startup CyDeploy wants to help.   The company’s founder, Tina Williams-Koroma, explained to TechCrunch that the idea of CyDeploy is to use machine learning to observe and record the most important systems that a company runs, create a replica of them, and let the company using CyDeploy run tests on what she called a “digital twin” before deploying them on the real live systems.…
