FactorWorks Breakthrough

In the early 1990s, Samara operated a successful mortgage finance company while David practiced as a CPA. They founded FPM Financial Corporation to meet growing demand for supply chain and trade finance solutions.

Samara's underwriting rigor — applying individual invoice validation rather than the industry-standard "batch receivable" model — led to operational bottlenecks. To resolve this, David designed FactorWorks, the world's first comprehensive, transaction-specific finance platform.

FactorWorks rapidly outperformed traditional methods, reducing verification and reconciliation time from days to hours. Its security and precision attracted The Bank of Newnan, which received FDIC approval to use the platform. Within 16 months, it drove two-thirds of the bank's revenue and raised net interest margin to 7.8%, while cutting lending losses by 50%.

eRevenue: Revolutionizing FinTech in Banking

When Regions Bank acquired The Bank of Newnan, they contracted the Keatons to replicate the model across 800 branches. The Keatons transitioned FactorWorks to a browser-based platform and launched eRevenue — the first internet-based transaction financing platform.

They licensed eRevenue to banks across the U.S. through a strategic alliance with Jack Henry & Associates and filed a U.S. patent for the system. Their international breakthrough came when Harbinger Corporation partnered with eRevenue to serve global banking clients.

Ultimately, PrimeRevenue acquired eRevenue, exchanging equity and granting the Keatons a permanent license to the software.

Healthcare Innovation: MPS

Following the acquisition, the Keatons relocated to Los Angeles to support their children's entertainment careers. Leveraging their eRevenue license, they founded Millennia Patient Services (MPS), a medical revenue cycle management company.

Their son, Michael Dallas, played a pivotal role in scaling MPS to national prominence. He engineered a fully automated integration layer enabling seamless connectivity to over 300 medical practice management systems, and pioneered ForeSite — a patented algorithmic software that forecast patient receivable recovery rates with remarkable accuracy.

Under David's oversight as Chairman, Samara's leadership as CEO, and Michael's software development, MPS evolved into a national leader in healthcare finance technology. Their combined efforts culminated in the successful acquisition of MPS by EIR Partners in 2018.

After MPS Acquisition

Michael Dallas went on to work for a major agriculture company as their head of integrations, utilizing his expertise to bridge disparate systems and leverage data in ways that amplified their growth.

Samara and David enjoyed a well-deserved reprieve and purchased a ranch outside of Raleigh, NC, transforming it into a wedding venue that continues to provide incredible experiences for couples across the country.

Michael Dallas Returns to MVI

In early 2025, Samara and David began scoping the framework of a web3 film finance company known as FFGI. They brought Michael Dallas in to consult, but his insight and initiatives led to a complete overhaul of the business scope and direction.

Michael Dallas was named Co-Founder of FFGI, President and Head of R&D of MVI, and designated as the heir apparent of the family legacy.
