Q3 Earnings Report Knightscope reported financial results for the nine months ending on September 30th, 2023. The company's net revenue for this period was approximately $9.8 million, which is almost triple the $3.3 million reported during the same time frame in 2022. This translates to an annual revenue run rate of around $13 million, which is more than double the previous year's net revenue of $5.6 million. The backlog for the company as of October 29th, 2023 was approximately $4.1 million, reflecting a decrease from the previous quarter. The backlog is subject to fluctuations as new orders come in, and the company has made significant progress in reducing its backlog. Although the backlog for autonomous security robots slightly increased, the backlog for K1B products was reduced by approximately $1.1 million. Knightscope has been working to improve its production and supply chain processes to increase production output.

During the first nine months of 2022, Knightscope had a gross loss of $2.1 million, while during the same period in 2023, the gross loss was only $154,000. The company expects to see continued improvements in the future as it executes its plan for profitability. The company's performance has also improved on a per-share basis. The loss per common share for the period decreased from $0.40 to $0.26. As of September 30th, 2023, Knightscope had cash and cash equivalents of $4.6 million, and on December 31st, 2022, it had $4.8 million. The company also fully extinguished convertible notes secured in connection with the acquisition of CASE emergency systems by the end of the second quarter of 2023. Bond Offering Knightscope recently launched its public safety infrastructure bond offering. It is offering 10% interest, paid in cash annually, on up to a 5-year bond. For example, a $10,000 investment could yield $1,000 of interest in cash payments annually for 5 years. The company plans to conduct rolling closes of the bonds on a monthly basis and successfully completed its initial closing a few weeks ago. Investors begin earning interest on their closing date, and the bond offering will remain active for several months as per Reg A+ offering regulations. Contracts Heading Into 2024 Knightscope’s success has garnered national attention, and the company has won corporate contracts with major corporations such as PENN Entertainment (NASDAQ: PENN), PG&E (NYSE: PCG), ABM (NYSE: ABM) and Lowe's (NYSE: LOW). The company also recently announced a collaboration with the NYPD and MTA in New York City, as their robots will operate in the subway system during late-night hours. Known for their effectiveness and approachability, the K5 robots strike a balance between engagement and respect for privacy. These partnerships are among a long list of other collaborations. Knightscope also offers an educational series about the increasing role robots are playing in the economy today and the company’s mission to “make the United States the safest country in the world.” Click here to learn more about the Rise of the Robots.

Harnessing The Power Of Gamma-Delta T Cells In Cancer Therapy: IN8bio’s Innovative Approach

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Why Are Gamma-Delta T Cells Important In Fighting Cancer? Gamma-delta T cells belong to a unique group of immune cells that have qualities of both the innate and adaptive immune systems. They have a complex set of receptors that allow them to differentiate between healthy and cancerous cells. Their multifunctional nature enables them to directly kill cancer cells and activate other immune cells to destroy tumors. What makes gamma-delta T cells particularly promising is that they can eliminate cancer cells without prior exposure to a specific antigen. This means they can trigger a more comprehensive immune response, making them valuable candidates for both solid and hematological cancer therapies. Gamma-delta T cells are also more durable than other innate immune cells like Natural Killer (NK) cells, which have shown to be less effective in clinical trials because of lack of persistence. How IN8bio’s Innovative Platform Helps Advance This Promising Research Field IN8bio's innovative DeltEx platform forms the basis of its extensive pipeline, comprising both preclinical and clinical product candidates. The platform is specifically designed to target cancer cells effectively, with the ultimate goal of potentially eradicating them and improving patient outcomes. Central to IN8bio's approach is their advanced expertise in genetically engineering and manufacturing ex-vivo, expanded and activated gamma-delta T cells. This expertise allows them to produce these immune cells in a way that enhances their therapeutic potential. In addition, IN8bio has developed proprietary gamma-delta T-cell engineering techniques that are unique to the field. This engineering is aimed at improving the cells' resistance to chemotherapy, making them even more effective in combating cancer. Another key feature of the DeltEx platform is the use of proprietary advanced, next-generation closed-system manufacturing technology. This scalable method enables the efficient production of gamma-delta T cells – ensuring a consistent and reliable supply for potential treatments. Importantly, IN8bio's engineered DeltEx cells show broad applicability across multiple types of cancers, both solid tumors and hematological malignancies. These unique properties have resulted in scientists focusing on developing cancer therapies based on gamma-delta T cells. It is projected that by 2028, the gamma-delta T cell cancer therapy market will be at $4 billion and one company seems to be leading the charge, IN8bio (NASDAQ: INAB). IN8bio is a biotechnology company that specializes in developing novel therapies based on gamma-delta T cells. Its innovative technology focuses on harnessing the potential of these cells to effectively target and eliminate cancer cells in both solid and hematological tumors. IN8bio's pipeline consists of a range of preclinical and clinical investigational therapies that aim to address various types of cancer with large unmet needs. Many of its lead product candidates are being developed for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors. The solid tumor market was valued at $209.61 billion in 2021, and it's expected to reach $901.27 billion by 2029. The drug candidate, INB-200, may be useful in treating solid tumors, including glioblastoma (GBM). GBM is a highly aggressive type of brain cancer with no cure, leading to a grim prognosis and an average overall survival time of only 14 to 16 months. INB-200 is a genetically modified autologous product candidate. This novel platform called drug-resistant immunotherapy, or DRI, utilizes genetic engineering to generate chemotherapy-resistant gamma delta T cells that can be administered concurrently with standard-of-care treatment in solid tumors. This is a powerful, synergistic treatment approach enabling gamma-delta T cells to persist in the presence of chemotherapy and maintain their natural ability to recognize, engage and kill cancer cells. It is designed to activate and expand Gamma-delta T cells in order to enhance the body's immune response against cancer. Leukemia, with a specific focus on Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), is another area of interest for IN8bio. The AML market is projected to to grow from $3.5 billion in 2022 to $6.1 billion in 2028 – representing a CAGR of 10%, while the MDS market which was worth $ 3.3 billion in 2022 is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.3% over 2023-2030. IN8bio's INB-100 is an allogeneic-derived, gamma-delta T cell product candidate aimed at addressing the unmet need in these areas. While there are some companies, such as Adicet (NASDAQ: ACET) and Century Therapeutics (NASDAQ: IPSC), studying gamma-delta T cells, IN8bio's DeltEx platform sets them apart from competitors in the field of cancer therapy. Its expertise, proprietary techniques, and scalable manufacturing process potentially position it as a leader in harnessing the potential of gamma-delta T cells for the development of innovative and effective cancer treatments.

Steakholder’s (NASDAQ: STKH) New Beef Ink Is Helping Make Commercial-Scale Steak Printing A Reality

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga Last month, Steakholder Foods (NASDAQ: STKH) launched Beef Steak Ink, the latest in its line of plant-based meat inks made for the company’s proprietary 3D bioprinter. The Israel-based 3D bioprinting cultivated meat company is a leader in the emerging lab-grown meat market thanks to its innovative technology that aims to give manufacturers a scalable, easy-to-adopt solution for developing hybrid (cultivated meat mixed with plant-based) products with realistic flavor and texture. Steakholder Foods Reports Its Ink And Printer Tech Make Cultivated Meat More Realistic And Easier To Produce At Scale At the heart of the B2B-focused company’s offering is the 3D printing technology designed to realistically mimic the texture of different cuts of meat. While researchers have been experimenting with cultivating meat cells in a lab for a while, one of the key challenges they’ve struggled to overcome is achieving the right texture. The flakiness of a fish fillet or the tender yet fibrous mouthfeel of a steak comes largely from the way muscle and fat cells grow inside a living, moving animal. As such, mimicking that texture with lab-grown cells is challenging, and many of the cultivated meat products on the market today are modeled on easier-to-mimic textures like meatloaf, meatballs and patties. With Steakholder Foods’ 3D printers and ink, however, achieving the texture of more complicated cuts like fish fillets or steaks is becoming possible. The ink is made with plant-based ingredients formulated to mimic the taste, texture and appearance of the meat they will become. After adding the desired proportion of cultivated cells, the printer can produce a structured hybrid product in a matter of minutes that’s ready to cook. Steakholder Foods’ 3D Bioprinting Process Finally Gives Businesses A Way To Potentially Efficiently Produce Hybrid Products At Commercial Scale The 3D printing process is completely controlled digitally and can go from digital design to ready-to-cook product in a matter of minutes. By combining that speed with the fully automated function of Fusion Pro 3D bioprinter, Steakholder Foods seems to have broken through one of the key barriers that had been holding manufacturers back from developing cultured meat products: scalability. With this industrial-scale technology, manufacturers finally have a way to produce tons of Hybrid meat products per month. Once the user designs the product they want in the software, the 3D printer can get to work perfectly recreating that design over and over again. Investors will have a chance to see that scalability in action as the company signed its first multimillion-dollar agreement in July to establish a large-scale production facility. The pilot facility will be built in partnership with a Gulf Cooperation Council-based government body in the Persian Gulf. “After intensive years of development, Steakholder Foods is excited to sign this first agreement with a strategic partner, generating our first income stream that represents one of the first substantial income agreements for a company in the cultivated meat industry, a huge step forward,” said Steakholder Foods CEO Arik Kaufman in a statement on the news. The launch of beef ink is part of Steakholder Foods’ broader strategy to develop a diverse portfolio of hybrid meat products that businesses can use to create realistic cuts of meat or design innovative products that would have been impossible with traditional meat. After the initial sale of the 3D printer to businesses looking to develop their own custom-cultivated meat products, this growing portfolio of inks is expected to serve as a source of recurring revenue for Steakholder Foods.

Which Cryptocurrency Will Dominate in December: Rebel Satoshi, Uniswap, or AAVE?

Blockchain Digest

While UNI is currently in a bullish run following the approval of a proposal to allocate $12 million worth of UNI tokens into the Ekubo Protocol, Aave is rebranding, and the change could just be the start of good things to come. Meanwhile, market experts and investors are getting their heads turned by Rebel Satoshi 's brilliant offerings. Check out why this $RBLZ is set to become the best crypto to buy very soon! Summary In order to give its community members more equitable access to finance, Rebel Satoshi ($RBLZ) taps into the revolutionary ethos of Guy Fawkes and Satoshi Nakamoto. A Uniswap (UNI) investment could steer UNI to $10 in early 2024. Market analysts predict that Aave (AAVE) will reach $105 before the turn of the year. Rebel Satoshi's Community-Centric Vision: Transforming Investment Dynamics Rebel Satoshi, a rising star in the realm of new ICOs, embodies a visionary approach rooted in decentralized finance. Drawing inspiration from the pioneering ethos of Satoshi Nakamoto and Guy Fawkes, this project sets out to redefine traditional financial paradigms, challenging norms through a steadfast commitment to community empowerment and financial inclusion. Central to Rebel Satoshi ’s mandate is its native $RBLZ token. With a capped supply of 250 million tokens, notably lower than its meme coin counterparts, the $RBLZ token promises to democratize financial access while operating on a deflationary mechanism. Beyond investment potential, it actively fosters community engagement. The platform enhances user involvement through the innovative Stake2Earn program, allowing users to actively participate and earn rewards by staking their $RBLZ tokens. This initiative establishes a symbiotic relationship, strengthening ties between the community and the project. Rebel Satoshi 's forward-thinking extends to its upcoming NFTs, totaling 9,999. These non-fungible tokens serve as gateways to exclusive digital assets within the ecosystem, designed to be unique and collectible. They promise users exclusive access and privileges, nurturing a sense of community ownership and active participation. In the Early Bird Round of the $RBLZ presale, tokens are offered at $0.01. Thus, investors have a compelling opportunity with the potential for up to 150% returns as the project advances. With over 10 million tokens sold in just 48 hours, the soaring demand for $RBLZ has earned recognition from top ICO experts as a good crypto to buy. Uniswap Price Prediction: Can UNI Experience A Significant Surge in 2023? On October 7, the Uniswap community approved a proposal to allocate $12 million worth of UNI tokens to the market maker, Ekubo Protocol. The investment garnered 63.82% of favorable votes, and, in return, Uniswap is set to receive 20% of the governance tokens associated with the Ekubo Protocol project. Following this move, UNI has witnessed an uptick from $4.37 on October 7 to $6.11 on November 22, signifying a 39.82% rise. Looking into the future of Uniswap’s coin, experts are optimistic. They expect the price of UNI to reach $10 by the first quarter of 2024. On the other hand, some Uniswap analysts are still skeptical because of investors who may decide to take profit following the recent rise of UNI. They predict that UNI could dip to $3.9 by December. Aave Price Prediction: Will Rebranding Spur a Rally for AAVE? On November 16, Aave Companies underwent a rebranding and is now known as Avara. This strategic move was carried out to expand Aave's user base within the broader Web3 ecosystem. Since this announcement, AAVE has dipped by 4.39% from $99.35 on November 16 to $95.17 on November 22. Nonetheless, market analysts are optimistic that Aave's rebranding will cause the value of AAVE to reach $105 by December. Conversely, with the recent security issues on the Aave platform, other AAVE experts foresee a dip in the AAVE price to $92 before the end of November. With experts torn regarding AAVE and UNI’s future, many investors have now turned to Rebel Satoshi’s $RBLZ.

Symphony, the leading markets infrastructure and technology platform, will combine its AI and domain expertise with Google Cloud’s transcription and generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) capabilities to offer built-for-purpose financial markets voice analytics. This announcement builds on Symphony’s strategic partnership with Google Cloud as its primary cloud provider. Transcription of voice in the financial markets space is a complex endeavor given the highly specialized and fast-paced nature of the business, its jargon, and the security required to protect the confidentiality of business deals, strategy, and everyday conversations. Off-the-shelf transcription services are not fit-for-purpose and do not provide the security required by financial services firms. To provide its customers with high-accuracy voice analytics, Symphony will use Google Cloud’s gen AI platform, Vertex AI, to enhance its Cloud9 voice product with speech-to-text fine-tuning and natural language processing (NLP) capabilities. Cloud9 is a cloud-based voice solution that helps finance and trading teams collaborate across multiple asset classes such as commodities, interest rate swaps, and equity derivatives. With gen AI, Cloud9 will provide financial institutions with enhanced real-time voice analytics capabilities that can be used to improve customer service, accelerate trade reconstruction, and minimize post-trade processing issues while maintaining compliance and security standards. The compliance-enabling functionality can also extend to active risk analysis and risk management by flagging calls for compliance review when suspicious discussions are detected. Beyond transcribing and summarizing conversations for compliance, this new gen AI-powered capability will be able to extract product and other contextual insights from unstructured data to enrich the Cloud9 user experience for an enhanced understanding of the market. Customers will also be able to extract additional insights from this data such as tagging relevant entities, understanding customer sentiment, and identifying trending topics. “We have been on a journey with Google Cloud for the past two years, one that has been a true partnership on many fronts. We are confident that by tapping Google Cloud’s AI capabilities for voice analytics, Symphony will be able to offer the more than 1,000 institutions we serve with top notch service that will create further efficiency and innovation in financial markets,” said Symphony CEO, Brad Levy. “Generative AI has the potential to transform the trading landscape from automating routine tasks to identifying potential misconduct through anomalies in data,” said Zac Maufe, global head of Regulated Industries, Google Cloud. "Our expanded partnership with Symphony builds on the success of our long-standing collaboration, and with the integration of speech-to-text gen AI, Symphony can provide financial institutions with high accuracy voice analytics that can help improve risk management and drive efficiencies across the trading floor.” Less than a month ago, Levy and the head of customer engineering at Google Cloud Spain and Portugal, Javier Martínez, discussed AI as a disruptor in finance, including potential regulation under consideration and broader impacts in the workplace and society at the Santander International Banking Conference panel AI in finance: What’s next? They were joined by Andrea Renta, director of research at the Center for European Policy Studies (CEPS).
