Lido Dao (LDO) Signaling a Bullish Outlook, But All The Talk is Polygon and Newcomer Raboo

Total Media

The bulls are running while the crypto investors are rejoicing because they were the ones who waited for the markets to recover. While Bitcoin drives the bull market, Lido Dao (LDO) and Polygon (MATIC) are gaining a lot of attention. However, the new meme-fi AI token Raboo (RABT) and its crypto presale have become the talk of the town. With a presale return of 233% and expected 100x returns once it hits the markets, is it any wonder tongues are wagging? Lido Dao (LDO): Ignored by bull market profits Think DeFi; think Lido Dao (LDO). With over $31 billion in TVL, Lido Dao (LDO) is by far the biggest DeFi provider on the planet, but its ticker price does not reflect this success. Lido Dao (LDO) is frustratingly flat in year-to-date figures, leaving investors to wonder if the DeFi giant will ever join the crypto bull market. Then, last month, Lido Dao (LDO) showed the opposite of ‘bull market’, with the bears pushing down the price dropping 25%. This contrasts with other tokens where the bull market has made fortunes. However, this allows Lido Dao (LDO) investors to look for other opportunities, such as crypto presales. Polygon (MATIC): Will it, won’t it? Polygon (MATIC) has been one of the pacesetters in the bull market, nearly doubling since the middle of January. This only stands to reason as Polygon (MATIC) is an Ethereum scaler, and Ethereum has been one of the biggest gainers in this bull market. This is both the blessing and curse of Polygon (MATIC). If Ethereum does well, so does Polygon (MATIC). But Ethereum is hardly the only player in town anymore, and developers looking to scale now have many other options beyond Ethereum to work with. Polygon’s future may be threatened, especially from presale coins like Raboo that can offer much higher returns. Raboo (RABT): Making bull market hay while the crypto presale shines Crypto presales are where seasoned investors go to get in early and grab hold of the tokens that can shoot the moon and possibly surpass even the fastest bull run. The savvy investor knows by the time a token hits the market, it can be too late to “get in early”, and the crypto presale is worth gold. A case in point is Raboo, with its pending presale offering of only $0.003 – which is most certainly the definition of “buying low”. Raboo is a cutting-edge platform that leverages the power of AI to fuse meme culture with DeFi’s financial opportunities, creating a unique and engaging ecosystem for its users. The Raboo presale offers an exclusive opportunity to be part of Raboo’s launch trajectory. Investors gain early access to RABT tokens at a never-to-be-repeated rate by participating in the crypto presale. Raboo’s presale underscores its potential as a disruptive force and highlights the community’s crucial role in shaping its future success. Conclusion While Lido Dao (LDO) and Polygon (MATIC) are struggling with the bull market, tokens like Raboo (RABT) sprint past even the fastest bull and can generate untold wealth for early adopters. Any investor worth their salt will use the Raboo crypto presale to bolster their crypto portfolios. You can participate in the Raboo presale here.

SydeLabs Raises $2.5m to Solve Security and Risk Management for Generative AI

SydeLabs

Globally, policymakers continue to be concerned about the security and safety risks of Generative AI.1 Today, security & risk management startup SydeLabs announced their seed funding round of $2.5m to build solutions aimed at securing GenAI systems for enterprises. The funding round was led by RTP Global and also saw participation from Picus Capital and marquee angel investors. The adoption of Generative AI has opened a new cybersecurity attack surface for those leveraging the technology. SydeLabs’ comprehensive AI security and Risk Management solutions address this emerging concern. The company offers solutions to identify security and safety vulnerabilities in enterprise AI systems and prevent them in real time, helping mitigate cybersecurity attacks and abuse. Founded by Ruchir Patwa and Ankita Kumari, SydeLabs’ mission is to make AI applications safe, secure and resistant to abuse. Ruchir Patwa is a cybersecurity expert with over 10 years of experience, most recently leading security teams at Google and Mobile Premier League. Ankita Kumari compliments this skillset with her experience as a veteran of product leadership positions, including building fraud and risk management solutions at McKinsey & Company, Mobile Premier League and CRED. Together they have worked extensively on security, risk and fraud management. Ankita Kumari, co-founder at SydeLabs commented: “While we were working on solving security and fraud-led business problems, we saw how business growth and profitability was fuelled by the adoption of risk mitigation measures, despite these measures usually being seen as cost sinks. Since then we knew we wanted to build solutions in the vulnerability and risk management space to address these growing concerns.” Ankita Kumari added “The adoption of Generative AI in enterprise organisations has seen the cybersecurity attack surface increase substantially. From a security point of view, companies are now bringing a human-like element into systems that were previously not susceptible to social engineering and manipulation. From a compliance perspective, we see systems having access to internal and user data with the ability to take action on that data. We also see the reputational risks emerging with adoption of GenAI systems that can generate undesirable content which can cause harm to a brand, loss of goodwill and further legal risk.” In their market research with CISOs globally, SydeLabs are seeing increased acknowledgement of these vulnerabilities as enterprises are rapidly adopting Generative AI for various business use cases. As the company looks to be a holistic AI Security and Risk Management Platform, its solution suite helps detect and prevent vulnerabilities in AI systems thus avoiding attacks, abuse and non-compliance. By focusing on the intent of attackers, rather than using traditional pattern matching approaches that are traditionally used for cybersecurity, the company is going further in its cybersecurity offering. Ruchir Patwa, co-founder at SydeLabs concluded: “We are building a comprehensive platform for risk management of Generative AI systems, across the entire development lifecycle. This can give a huge productivity boost to enterprises and prevent costs associated with inaction around security and compliance threats. We want to give confidence to enterprises to deploy GenAI applications without having to worry about security and safety blindspots”. Galina Chifina, Partner on RTP Global’s Asia Investment team added: “We are super excited about the potential SydeLabs has in setting new standards for AI applications that are as secure as they are ground breaking. We love the vision of Ruchir and Ankita and are happy to back them so early in their journey. SydeLabs' approach to AI security showcases the kind of forward-thinking application of technology we champion at RTP." About SydeLabs SydeLabs is building a holistic AI Security and Risk Management Platform to minimise risks and cybersecurity threats in AI systems. Founded by Ruchir Patwa and Ankita Kumari, in March 2024, SydeLabs raised $2.5m in a round led by RTP Global and Picus Capital.

SaverOne Inks Major OEM Deal With IVECO – Distracted Driving Software To Be Installed In All Its Light, Medium And Heavy Commercial Vehicles

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga SaverOne (NASDAQ: SVRE), which makes safety systems to prevent people from using distracting apps while driving, just inked an original equipment manufacturing agreement with IVECO, the brand of Iveco Group N.V., which makes light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles. Under the OEM deal, IVECO will use SaverOne’s safety technology in its 2024 truck production line. Initially, for 2024, SaverOne’s software will be integrated into IVECO’s hardware. The company said the collaboration may in the future include the integration of SaverOne’s mobile app with IVECO's mobile app, and SaverOne’s hardware and software within IVECO’s assembly line. The first IVECO vehicles with the integrated SaverOne software solution are expected to be delivered this year. “We are delighted to enter into this partnership with SaverOne, a collaboration that underscores Iveco Group’s dedication to leading the way in transportation safety and innovation,” Fabrizio Conicella, Head of Digital and Advanced Technology at Iveco Group said of the deal. “Integrating the SaverOne technology into our trucks advances our efforts to provide our customers with not only the most reliable and efficient vehicles on the market, but also the safest.” Making The Roads Safer SaverOne’s technology automatically locates the mobile device in the driver’s area and prevents the driver from using messaging and other distracting apps. If the phone disconnects, an alarm will sound. SaverOne’s technology is already installed in over 4,500 cars, trucks and buses and is integrated into the fleets of more than 100 companies worldwide. It's a big addressable market for SaverOne given that distracted driving costs companies $60 billion annually. Furthermore, it's a problem that's expected to get worse as the use of cell phones proliferates around the globe. Between 2024 and 2028 smartphone users are forecast to grow 10.7% to 496.7 million. By 2028, 5.1 billion people will have a smartphone. Studies show users aren’t shy when it comes to using their phones on the roadways either – 77% of respondents said in a recent survey by the National Distracted Driving Coalition that they use their phones while driving. SaverOne’s Recent String Of Wins The IVECO agreement is the latest in a string of deals SaverOne has inked as it aims to make the roads safer. Take its OEM agreement with Volvo Bus Corp., the unit of Volvo Group (OTCMKTS: VLVLY), for starters. Earlier this month it was announced that Volvo Bus will install SaverOne’s Driver Distraction Prevention System (DDPS) in new Volvo buses manufactured for the Mexican market. SaverOne also expanded its agreement with GB Tours to install the SaverOne system on the full fleet of GB Tours’ public transportation and tour buses. GB Tours is a leading Israel-based public transportation company that operates public transportation lines as well as tour buses with a fleet of about one hundred buses. Then there’s SaverOne’s pilot with Systems Logistics, an Italian designer, manufacturer and provider of automated warehousing with customers in Europe, America and Asia. The company has a fleet of over 100 vehicles. The pilot is taking place on a number of its vehicles. Tecne, the engineering company of Gruppo Autostrade per l’Italia – a leading concessionary in Europe for the construction and management of toll motorways – is also a customer. Tecne recently entered into a pilot program with SaverOne that involves the integration of SaverOne’s DDPS into an initial 10 vehicles. The fleet is comprised of about 3,000 vehicles, underscoring the potential opportunity for SaverOne. All of these agreements and others SaverOne has inked underscore the growing interest from companies looking to reduce distracted driving accidents, and SaverOne’s commitment to growing around the world. "We are thrilled to sign this milestone OEM agreement with IVECO, a leading European vehicle manufacturer,” said Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne. “We believe that this agreement represents a very significant strategic move that strongly expands our footprint in European markets. It works to integrate our advanced driver safety solution into IVECO's manufacturing line, which allows us to directly tap into the IVECO global customer base. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration with IVECO and are excited about the positive impact our joint efforts will have on making roads safer for everyone."

The Next Wave Of AI? How Hailo’s Edge AI Chips May Help Transform The Industry

OurCrowd

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Artificial intelligence is no longer restricted to big data centers, crunching complex data sets to help businesses increase productivity and improve processes. It is becoming ubiquitous as more use cases for this transformative technology emerge. One only has to look to Microsoft Corp.’s (NASDAQ: MSFT) Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT for evidence. Relying on a large language model, the chatbots enable users to research and write content in seconds. That’s just one example of how AI is becoming more mainstream. “We’re in the IBM mainframe era of AI, with the giant data centers representing a few giant computers that dominated the scene during the mainframe era,” George Gilder, the well-known investment advisor who has often been ahead of trends and predicted the world would shift to a decentralized model, said during a webinar for the community and the Gilder Private Reserve subscribers. “I think AI is going to be in every smartphone and every pocket, and it's going to be distributed through the Internet of Things. It's going to be ubiquitous. It's really a new IO for the new technology platform of the age.” Hailo Sits On The Edge That shift to decentralized AI where it no longer lives in the cloud or isolated in a data center, but rather on the edge, is where Hailo, the Israeli semiconductor startup, is operating. It sees a big opportunity for newcomers like itself to take advantage of the natural progression of AI. “AI is learning from examples, contrary to plastic computers which are just being given a very specific set of rules. It’s kind of intuition versus logic,” Orr Danon, CEO at Hailo, said during an interview portion of the webinar with John Schroeder of the Gilder Private Reserve. “It’s a huge pivot in the kind of technology you need to implement this. It’s an opportunity for a new player to come and emerge and take a significant market share. And that's exactly what we are doing in the company.” It is a big and growing market opportunity. Danon said the global chip market is about $600 billion today and is projected to cross the $1 trillion per annum mark at the end of the decade. Hailo makes AI vision processors and AI accelerator chips designed to accelerate embedded deep learning applications on edge devices. The company’s chips can be embedded in a variety of devices including autonomous vehicles, personal computers, smart cameras, robotics, industrial machinery, healthcare devices, drones and home appliances. Hailo Does It Cheaper While big chip companies like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) are focusing on making AI chips for data centers and cloud computing, Hailo is seeing growing demand for AI chips that sit on the edge, processing the data locally for use with everything from in a variety of devices including autonomous vehicles, personal computers, smart cameras, robotics, industrial machinery, healthcare devices and drones. Hailo says its chips are cheaper, more efficient and only require a few watts for power consumption. In comparison Nvidia's chip requires up to hundreds of watts, Hailo said. “The apps that you run are local. Of course, you use data that is connected to the cloud, but the majority of data crunching is being done locally. And that's exactly what we believe in,” said Danon. “This is very beneficial in terms of power consumption of the communication requirements. If you're doing anything that requires a response quickly, like a car moving and needing to understand what's going on around it, you have to be local.” That means someday these edge AI chips will be able to make everyday devices even smarter whether it is a high-definition camera or a vacuum cleaner. Are you looking for an AI investment that won’t cost a fortune? Check out what the founders of Hailo are doing to revolutionize this transformative technology here. Cloud Will Always Have Its Role That’s not to say there won’t be a need for the cloud when it comes to AI, it’s rather that they will complement each other and evolve. For example, cloud and big data centers will always be needed to train the AI, but when it comes to processing or performing the tasks the AI was trained to do, Hailo believes it will happen locally or on the edge. Danon said since the company launched in 2017, Hailo has seen the majority of AI deployments occurring outside of data centers – and that’s also happening with large language models like ChatGPT. “Over the past few years, we've seen the first wave of AI, which is based on fundamentally machine learning models trained by massive amounts of data,” said Danon. “But now we're seeing the second wave emerge. And that is, generative AI, which we are seeing in things like ChatGPT.” AI is in its infancy, but it’s quickly moving outside of the big data center and into the devices we use every day. That presents a big opportunity for chip makers catering to this area of the market including Hailo. Interested in getting in on a startup before the second wave of AI takes off? Click here.

Xalles Holdings: nurturing tech startups towards lucrative exits

Xalles Holdings

Xalles Holdings (OTC:XALL) chairman Thomas Nash takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company's strategy of acquiring technology companies with strong assets and management teams, as well as the potential for significant growth. Nash explained that Xalles targets early-stage companies, guiding them through a business lifecycle that spans from incubation to acceleration and growth, with the ultimate aim of achieving a profitable exit. Nash emphasized the importance of the management team and key personnel in these acquisitions, stating that companies remain wholly owned subsidiaries, retaining their original management to ensure motivation and alignment with Xalles Holdings’ goals. Xalles Holdings does not adopt a hands-on approach in the daily operations of its acquisitions but provides support in areas like financial backing, marketing, PR, and leveraging business development networks, Nash said. This support is aimed at helping subsidiaries refine their business plans and navigate towards financial milestones effectively. The company's acquisition strategy does not have a fixed timeframe, offering flexibility to adapt to each company's unique needs and market conditions. This strategy includes various phases, from early-stage incubation with Exotic Studio to acceleration with Exogamous Advisors and eventually to a formal acquisition under the RISE model, which stands for Roll In Selected Exit. Pending acquisitions include 100% of Fluid Tech and a stake in WooSender, demonstrating Xalles Holdings’ diverse portfolio. The company also reported a 234% growth in revenue year-over-year for the third quarter of 2023, marking its ninth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, attributed to strategic acquisitions and effective support for these companies.

BenevolentAI advances novel ulcerative colitis treatment through Phase 1a trial

BenevolentAI

BenevolentAI (OTC:BAIVF) chief scientific officer Dr Anne Phelan joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with positive safety data from the Phase 1a, first-in-human, clinical study of BEN-8744 in healthy volunteers. Phelan explained that BEN-8744 is a potent, selective PD10 inhibitor, uniquely designed to be peripherally restricted to mitigate CNS-mediated side effects associated with previous PD10 inhibitors. This design aims to ensure safety and tolerability, a primary goal in this phase of clinical research. She said the study successfully met its objectives, proving the hypothesis that peripheral restriction could eliminate adverse side effects, although it was not positioned to assess therapeutic value directly. Phelan further detailed the study's methodology, highlighting its role in estimating the pharmacologically relevant exposure and understanding the drug's exposure profile, which is critical for determining the efficacious dose for future patient trials. The interview also shed light on BenevolentAI's innovative platform that integrates diverse data types, including genomics and transcriptomics, through advanced AI and machine learning models. This platform identified PDE10 inhibition as a novel approach for treating ulcerative colitis, despite the lack of direct literature linking PDE10 to the condition, demonstrating the company's proprietary method in target discovery. Looking ahead, Phelan mentioned ongoing Biomarker Qualification studies and extended toxicology studies to pave the way for phase 1b and phase 2 studies, with an emphasis on ensuring longer dosing durations are safe for patients. This step is pivotal for moving BEN-8744 towards clinical efficacy trials, underlining BenevolentAI's commitment to advancing drug development through AI-enabled insights.
