Standard Fleet

Standard Fleet, an electric vehicle management technology developer, and UP.FIT, an Unplugged Performance company focused on the upfitting of Tesla electric vehicles for fleet use, today announced a collaborative initiative designed to enhance government electric vehicle (EV) fleet management. This effort brings together UP.FIT’s industry-leading expertise in customizing Teslas for specialty use with Standard Fleet's sophisticated fleet management software, aims to improve operational efficiency and support the environmental goals of government fleets including those managed by emergency responders and law enforcement. “Our collaboration with UP.FIT aims to equip police departments with the tools they need for a smoother, more cost-effective fleet management experience,” said David Hodge, Founder and CEO of Standard Fleet. “Integrating our software with UP.FIT’s customized Tesla vehicles means we can offer a system that improves operational efficiency while supporting environmental goals.” "Our mission at UP.FIT is to simplify the adoption of electric fleets for first responders and fleet operators globally,” said James Hedland, Fleet Director at UP.FIT. “Standard Fleet software gives operators complete control of the access, charging, maintenance, and dispatching of their up-fitted EVs. Together we’re providing police departments and other city and county fleet operators with an electric vehicle management system proven to enhance performance and operational efficiency." The partnership addresses a growing need for cost-effective and responsible deployment of EV fleets in public service by merging the expertise and capabilities of UP.FIT and Standard Fleet. This initiative is poised to redefine fleet management for government entities, enhancing both vehicle functionality and operational oversight. Key Benefits of the Partnership: Improved Operational Efficiency: Standard Fleet’s software streamlines the management of charging, maintenance, and daily operations of EVs, reducing both time and costs for fleet managers. Tailored Vehicle Customizations: UP.FIT modifies Tesla vehicles to meet the specific needs of police and public safety operations, enhancing their reliability and suitability for work in the communities they serve. Environmental Impact: The shift towards EVs helps reduce emissions and air pollution, and aligns with local, state, and federal environmental objectives. Sergeant Tony Abdalla from the South Pasadena Police Department, a client benefiting from this partnership, stated, “Adopting electric vehicles for police work presents a unique set of challenges along with opportunities to better serve our community with a cleaner, more reliable, and higher performance police fleet at lower costs over the long term. Standard Fleet technology gives us mobile access to all of our EVs to enhance our operations from dispatch, charging, maintenance, and analytics, to keyless access for officers coming on- and off-duty. Combining Standard Fleet software with the hardware and digital technology upgrades installed by UP.FIT puts our fleet at the forefront of sustainability and performance.” This initiative underscores the potential of technology to improve public sector operations and promotes the adoption of sustainable practices in fleet management.

Huma completes Series D with total financing of over $80m as it launches Huma Cloud Platform with GenAI integrations to bring digital first care and research to everyone

Huma

Building and launching a scalable digital health product that meets regulatory demands typically takes a few years to deliver. Today, global healthcare AI company Huma Therapeutics Limited is announcing the completion of its Series D funding round to help cut that time down to days as it launches the Huma Cloud Platform. The platform offers no-code configuration of regulated disease management tools for any therapeutic area, a library of pre-built modules and device connectivity capabilities, a cloud-agnostic framework for flexible hosting, readily available APIs and integration capabilities, the ability to host and deploy diagnostic and predictive AI algorithms, a marketplace, and more to advance digital-first care and research. The Series D funding round, alongside investments from leading industry partners since its Series C round, created a total issuance of shares by Huma of over $80m. With this round, Huma has now raised over $300m. The Series D saw the participation of new and existing strategic and financial investors, including AstraZeneca, Hat Technology Fund 4 by HAT SGR, HV Fund by Hitachi Ventures and Leaps by Bayer and others. HSBC Bank plc acted as advisor to Huma during the fundraise. Alongside its Series D, Huma is also announcing the launch of its Huma Cloud Platform – a technology ecosystem designed not only to support the company’s own digital health initiatives, but also to empower others to launch and scale their projects efficiently. With its Huma Cloud Platform and the regulatory foundation that it is built on, Huma aims to reduce the time it takes to develop and launch digital health projects at scale from years to as little as a few days. The Huma Cloud Platform is built to serve the company's existing regulated products. In 2023, Huma achieved the landmark milestone of becoming the first and only configurable, disease-agnostic FDA Class II, EU MDR Class IIb, India CDSCO Class C and Saudi FDA Class C platform, enabling rapid, code-free configuration with the ability to host AI/ML models. The regulatory status of the Huma Cloud Platform significantly reduces the cost, time, and risks associated with bringing digital health projects to life. Huma is now making this platform available to customers which comes with a Software Development Kit (SDK) to enable the accelerated development of similar applications or to embed functionalities into their existing solutions. Dr Juergen Eckhardt, EVP, Head of Leaps by Bayer and Pharmaceuticals Business, Development & Licensing commented: “We have known Huma for several years and we've been impressed by their remarkable progress. We have seen this first-hand. They have demonstrated strong growth and excellent metrics. With their next-generation AI capabilities and Huma Cloud platform, Huma can partner with pharma companies to deliver efficient digital health solutions to patients focused on predictive and proactive care.” “Pharmaceutical companies need financially and technically efficient digital solutions to minimise spending on efforts that are duplicative or can't scale. The Huma Cloud Platform enables companies to streamline how they bring digital medicine, companion apps, and data collection capabilities to patients from the R&D phase to post-launch.” To date, Huma’s technology has powered projects in over 3,000 hospitals and clinics. The platform has been used to engage and screen over 35 million individuals, with 1.8 million active users across its products in over 70 countries. Huma’s U.S. business has grown significantly since launch with new reimbursement codes. The RPM product, built on top of the Huma Cloud Platform for respiratory use cases, now covers 140,000 contracted lives. As a result of all these successes, the company has doubled its revenue year-on-year, and is targeting to become profitable this year. Huma also collaborates with over half of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies globally and has been involved in major national healthcare projects worldwide. Huma has partnered with Google and others to develop new AI models that could enable its Cloud Platform users to care for many times more patients with less work; for example a feature called “10x Nurse” that significantly reduces administrative tasks and brings automation to the patient review process with a human in the loop. This opens new possibilities, such as efficiently managing chronic diseases with fewer staff or using real-time monitoring systems to ensure patients are on the correct treatment pathways while keeping humans still in the loop. Looking ahead, combining the Huma Cloud Platform with next-generation AI models will enable Huma to have a bigger impact through its digital-first care and research initiatives, as well as supporting small startups and enterprises in launching the digital solutions they need. It promises to do this much faster and cheaper, shifting the focus to project or venture success rather than getting distracted with scaling technology or managing regulatory burdens. Dan Vahdat, Founder and CEO of Huma, said, “I am thankful for the support of our new and existing shareholders, helping our vision become a reality, which we are closer to than ever before. We are here to accelerate the adoption of digital and AI across care and research, and we do that by making the building of digital health solutions for care and research easy. We like to think of Huma Cloud Platform much like Shopify but for digital health instead of e-commerce. We believe when digital and AI are scaled, they become affordable for both the poor and the rich. This will help us transition medicine from being reactive to proactive.” About Huma Huma is a global healthcare AI company on a mission to accelerate the adoption of digital solutions in care and research. Its award-winning modular platforms are used by more than 3,000 hospitals and clinics, with over 35 million screened users and 4 million registered users in healthcare, and has powered over 800 studies supporting about 1 million participants across research. The company is renowned for its role in major national healthcare projects worldwide, from the US and the UK to Germany, Greece, and Saudi Arabia, as well as collaborating with most large pharma companies. Huma's technology powers: ● multi-channel patient engagement at population-wide scale for healthcare systems ● remote patient monitoring (RPM) at scale ● companion apps to support patients through treatment and drug therapies ● digital clinical trials, including decentralised trials, to accelerate medical research Huma's regulated Software as a Medical Device, used in its RPM and companion app platforms, is the only disease- and device- agnostic platform to hold EU MDR Class IIb, US FDA (510-k) Class II clearance and Class IIb registration with the UK MHRA.

Haruko

Helping institutional investors engage with digital assets in a secure and regulated environment, digital asset investment management platform Haruko is today announcing a $6m funding round as it expands into Southeast Asia and further consolidate its global presence. This follows heightened interest in the region of its industry-leading portfolio and risk management solutions for digital asset investment professionals. The series A funding round was co-led by White Star Capital’s Digital Asset Fund and MMC Ventures. Haruko has now raised $16m in venture capital funding. Founded in 2021, Haruko has quickly scaled across North America and Europe with a client base of over 50 investment management institutions and has offices in London and Singapore. Haruko has gained significant traction across all market participants including hedge funds, family offices, market makers, treasury teams and prime brokerages. It also has notably high adoption among large-scale trading firms owing to its unparalleled depth of functionality, comprehensive exchange (CeFi), on-chain (DeFi) and over-the-counter (OTC) venue coverage and multi-product support. “Haruko is laser-focused on building institutional-grade solutions for the future of the investment industry and providing a white-glove service to exceed our clients’ expectations consistently” said Shamyl Malik, co-founder and CEO of Haruko. “Despite having had several opportunities for growth through acquisition, we instead prioritised our seamless user experience, stayed true to our day one goal and built our market-leading solution entirely in-house. We never deviate from our mission of creating best-in-class technology, simplifying complexity for our clients and supporting their goal of revenue generation, be it through pure alpha creation or franchise building.” “We’re looking forward to continuing our global expansion, investing in exceptionally talented team members to support us in our goal of building out an industry-leading, end-to-end solution for digital assets and the future of the finance industry.

Over that time our conviction that institutional ownership of digital assets will increase, and with it, the need for sophisticated infrastructure has grown. It is clear that the post-trade part of the digital asset landscape which Haruko focuses on has been poorly served to date and we believe that Shamyl and team have the deep domain knowledge required to solve this problem.” Haruko is setting a new standard for fintech solutions in digital assets, earning accolades such as HFM’s Most Innovative Technology Firm and HedgeWeek’s Best New Solution Provider in 2023, and offering solutions used by the entire digital asset ecosystem.

HTX Unveils "Earn with Pending Orders" #2 with Upsized Rewards: Post BTC/USDT in Spot Trades to Split 32.2B $HTX

HTX

HTX’s "Earn with Pending Orders" event has garnered widespread praise and active participation since its debut on 26 June. HTX, in response to user feedback, has adjusted the event rules and is now launching the 2nd phase of "Earn with Pending Orders". Users can participate by posting BTC/USDT in spot trades to share in a prize pool of 32.2 billion $HTX, with rewards distributed around the clock. New Feature: Enjoy Non-Stop Rewards with Minute-by-Minute Snapshots Following "Trade to Earn," HTX launches "Earn with Pending Orders," another innovative product aimed at enriching users' trading experiences. According to HTX's official announcement, the 2nd phase of "Earn with Pending Orders" event will last from 10:00 (UTC) on July 10, 2024, to 10:00 (UTC) on July 17, 2024, featuring BTC/USDT as the designated spot trading pair. During the event period, the platform will take random snapshots of pending orders for BTC/USDT spot trades every minute. Based on these snapshots, the platform will calculate rewards separately for qualifying buy and sell orders. These rewards can be accumulated throughout the event. Pending orders are considered valid if they meet two requirements: ● Minimum order amount: Pending orders must be limit orders with a minimum amount of 100 USDT at the time of the snapshot, defined as order price * order quantity ≥ 100 USDT. ● Order price: The price of pending orders should not deviate by more than 0.5% from the latest executed price (closing price) at the time of the snapshot. Here is an example. Let's assume the latest executed price (closing price) at the time of the snapshot for BTC/USDT is 60,000 USDT. The threshold range is ±0.5%. Therefore, the upper limit price for pending orders will be 60,300 USDT (calculated as 60,000 x 1.005), and the lower limit price will be 59,700 USDT (calculated as 60,000 x 0.995). Therefore, valid pending orders must have prices at the time of the snapshot between 59,700 USDT and 60,300 USDT (59,700 USDT < Pending order price < 60,300 USDT). Optimized Rules: Now Open to API Users and Offer Upsized Rewards In comparison to the initial phase of "Earn with Pending Orders", the second phase incorporates two major rule upgrades: API users are now eligible to participate in this event; and an extra prize pool has been included, boosting total rewards to 32.2 billion $HTX. Details are stated below: ● Reward 1: Post BTC Orders and Split 27.2 Billion $HTX The event boasts a total prize pool of 27,200,000,000 $HTX, with a daily prize pool of 3,885,714,285 $HTX, and a per-minute prize pool of 2,698,412 $HTX. All valid pending orders are eligible for this reward. Every minute, users will share the prize pool proportionally based on the order amounts of their pending orders. A user's reward per minute for pending orders = Reward pool per minute * (User's pending order amount / Total amount of all valid pending orders). For example: Let's assume that, in a specific minute, the total amount of all eligible pending orders is 1000 USDT, and User A has a pending order amounting to 100 USDT. According to the provided reward calculation formula, User A's reward can be calculated as 2,698,412 $HTX * (100/1000). Therefore, User A would receive a reward of 269,841.2 $HTX for that minute. ● Reward 2: Users with Pending Orders Falling within the ±0.1% Threshold Range to Share Extra 5 Billion $HTX Based on the aforementioned reward rules, during each snapshot, users with pending orders within the ±0.1% threshold range of the buy and sell prices will be eligible to share an extra prize pool. The extra prize pool totals 5,000,000,000 $HTX, with daily distributions of 714,285,714 $HTX and minute-by-minute allocations of 496,032 $HTX. The distribution of the prize pool remains consistent with the rules stated above. Please note that users need to click "Register Now" in the announcement to participate in the event. The hourly reward cap for each participant in this event is 90,909,090 $HTX. A participant will not receive any more rewards if either the hourly reward cap for the participant or the hourly prize pool limit is reached. Event Details: https://www.htx.com.cm/en-us/support/54974923246167 HTX, a leading global digital asset exchange, has always adhered to the principle of "Users First" and is dedicated to providing secure, diversified, and efficient trading services for users worldwide. Looking ahead, HTX will continue to upgrade "Earn with Pending Orders" as well as other innovative events and products, consistently enhancing user experiences to meet their diverse demands.

The shareholder group is also calling for Hoffman’s removal from the Defense Innovation Board (DIB), a body organized under the Federal Advisory Committee Act to make recommendations regarding technological modernization of the military. DIB is currently chaired by Michael Bloomberg. At the billionaires’ retreat in Sun Valley, Idaho, this week, Mr. Hoffman reportedly engaged in a vigorous debate with fellow tech executive Peter Thiel over how the LinkedIn co-founder’s funding of “lawfare” has turned Trump into a “martyr.” According to a report by Puck News, Mr. Hoffman responded to Mr. Thiel, “Yeah, I wish I had made him an actual martyr.” Previously, Hoffman was also widely known for introducing Jeffrey Epstein to other Silicon Valley figures. According to Luke Perlot, associate director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project: “As shareholders of Microsoft, we call on Mr. Hoffman to resign, or be removed, from the board of directors. His ongoing presence on the board is a stain on Microsoft’s reputation and would implicitly condone his statements and actions.” According to Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project: “Sarcasm or not, Hoffman has made clear that he doesn’t think Donald Trump has any civil rights, and that he and other billionaires should pick the president, not the American people. Some holders of great wealth seek to help the less fortunate or promote freedom and decency. Hoffman has instead sought to undermine democratic norms and values. We repeat our call that we made last year that Mr. Hoffman be removed from Microsoft’s board as well as the Defense Innovation Board.” According to Peter Flaherty, NLPC Chairman: “The Defense Innovation Board is engaged in the task of using technology to strengthen our defense in a dangerous world. It conducts serious business. It is no place for an unserious character like Reid Hoffman. For one thing, his associations with Jeffrey Epstein make him a security threat. For another, funding lawsuits by the likes of E. Jean Carroll and wishing martyrdom on Donald Trump should disqualify him from any government board or position.” Founded in 1991, the National Legal and Policy Center promotes ethics in public life through research, investigation, education and legal action.
