Ink Finance Aims To Be the Gold Standard of DAO Financial Management—Here’s What It Does Differently From Other Tools

Ink Finance

By Rachael Green, Benzinga With support from strategic backers like Republic Crypto, Alliance DAO, Avalanche, and Polygon, Ink Finance has developed one of the most robust DAO financial tooling platforms on blockchain. It aims to turn its all-in-one toolset into the gold standard of financially minded DAOs to establish their competence, creditworthiness, and compliance. After a simultaneous debut of the open beta version of the INK Webapp on Avalanche, Ethereum, Polygon, and BSC, Ink Finance is already reportedly attracting organizations in the metaverse gaming and DeFi protocol sectors, and has plans to expand into other high-growth sectors such as crypto asset management, venture capital, angel funds, and real-world fintech like carbon finance and cross-border e-commerce. Here’s how INK sets itself apart from other DAO management platforms in the space. Building and Managing a DAO Today Requires a Hodgepodge of dApps The current landscape of DAO construction and management tools is fragmented. The emerging space is populated with dApps that can perform specific operations, but none that serve as an all-in-one toolkit. Integration of composable parts is easier said than done. Colony, for example, is one of the more robust DAO-building tools that let you define a DAO’s structure, assign permissions and roles to individuals or groups, coordinate work, and more. However, the original user experience was complicated and not very accessible and the platform has been working to upgrade its features to function as smoothly as those on some of the more specialized tools. Snapshot, on the other hand, isn’t a DAO-building tool but it is one of the leading decision-making tools. DAOs can create proposals, choose from a set of voting systems, and let members vote without gas fees. Collab.Land is a community management tool that allows DAOS to verify user identities, set and manage roles, and make sure users still own the digital assets required for a certain role or channel. As effective as each tool is for its specific function, the result is that DAOs often need to juggle multiple applications to manage all aspects of their operations. Build the framework on one app, handle the voting on another app, manage member roles and their verifications on yet another app, and so on. For small DAOs, this is already a cumbersome process but as an organization scales, the hodgepodge of tools becomes even more unwieldy. For financially minded DAOs, the options get even more limited. With a lot more regulatory complexities and risks, managing a financial DAO can be tough. At the moment, one of the leading tools tailored to this niche is Syndicate. The investing protocol and social network offer the infrastructure and tools needed to pool assets and make investment decisions as a group. While it’s a great tool for building investment clubs, it doesn’t offer many tools beyond that - financial DAOs can’t issue bespoke products and compliance tools are still limited. How Ink Finance Is Changing the DAO Management Landscape The goal of Ink Finance from the outset was to create an all-in-one toolset that could simplify the process of creating and managing a DAO while maintaining the flexibility and customizability, to free users from picking and choosing from a dizzying array of specialized apps, which is a cumbersome and exploitable undertaking. The platform uses a user-friendly plug-and-play setup to make DAO configuration easy, even for users without a strong background in blockchain. It offers an intuitive and comprehensive hierarchical system that allows a DAO to form divisions and sub entities to focus on narrower missions and cope with local regulations. The most consequential decisions made at any level of a large ecosystem are executed by smart contracts, including treasury creation, payment management, and revenue audits, eliminating the burdensome and exploitable integration of voting and execution. As soon as a proposal is approved, digital vaults are built to secure collateral, tradeable tokens are issued cross-chain. This allows for the kind of disclosure needed by institutional or retail investors to prudently evaluate a DAO’s management competence and financial health. Packing its outstanding financial capability is the INK Products Module, at the core of which is a unique asset wrapper called InkEnvelope. DAOs can map & wrap any asset that’s not available from the local blockchain, or create bespoke financial products, through the traceable governance process involving accountable roles, and package them in tradeable FTs or NFTs. Then, the DAO can issue, risk-manage, settle, and clear these financial products entirely on-chain. This can make it possible to do much more than raise funds to invest as an investment club. DAO-managed ETFs, blockchain-based bonds, and physically-backed NFTs are available on the menu, among other innovative uses. Moreover, once a DAO is built on INK, it can easily migrate that framework and financial products to other blockchains without needing to start from scratch on each network. That gives INK users growth opportunities as they can establish a reputation across multiple blockchains, reaching a wider pool of investors, all the while consolidating management and balance sheet with one toolset. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. Ink Finance is a DAO governance toolset, enabling all kinds of ecosystems to establish governance economy, manage internal finance, and connect with DeFi investors everywhere, through a no-code user experience. As a Financial SaaS built on blockchain, Ink Finance has the most comprehensive financial engineering tools to support on-chain issuance, settlement, clearing, and analysis of Non-Fungible Financial Products.Ink Finance is backed by heavy weight eco builders such as Republic Crypto and DeFi Alliance, partnered with cutting-edge solution providers such as Humanode, Astra, SolvFinance, Polytrade and deBridge, etc. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

Million-Dollar Owner Mike Geygan Retires & Reflects on 31-plus Years in Business After Selling Minuteman Press Franchise in Lebanon, Ohio

Minuteman Press International Inc

Minuteman Press in Lebanon, Ohio, has been sold by retiring owners Mike and Karen Geygan to new owners Frank and Melissa Hiti. The longtime design, marketing, and printing center has been operating for over 40 years, and Mike and Karen are retiring after owning the business for over 31 years. All of the staff have been retained and will keep working to serve Minuteman Press clients in the community. Minuteman Press in Lebanon is located at 101 Dave Avenue, Suite E, Lebanon, OH 45036. New owner Frank Hiti says, “We are really excited to take over a business that has such an outstanding reputation in the community. As business buyers, we are blown away by the strong foundation that Mike and Karen Geygan built with Minuteman Press in Lebanon. This business is a well-oiled machine thanks to their hard work. Everyone has been so welcoming to us as new owners, and we will continue the path that Mike and Karen set by being a fixture in our community and make sure our business takes care of our customers.” Frank continues, “I am an engineer by trade, with a business degree. I spent my entire career in automotive manufacturing doing sales, engineering, project management, and procurement. I climbed the ladder but I always had that desire to be an entrepreneur. I felt I was in a good position to find the right opportunity and the right business to purchase. Everything I’ve experienced in the last few weeks since purchasing Minuteman Press has been even better than I expected. The support has been phenomenal from our local field rep Ryan, our team here in Lebanon is simply fantastic, and it’s so much easier to hit the ground running thanks to the strong customer relationships that Mike and Karen Geygan built. They earned their retirement and it’s been a win-win situation all-around.” History of the Business When Mike and Karen Geygan first purchased an existing Minuteman Press franchise in April of 1991, they took over a business that needed some work. Mike reflects, “We bought a 12-year-old shop and we needed to upgrade our equipment and clean things up, so that’s what we did. We liked the business model and the industry, and I really wanted to be involved in my community. Lebanon, Ohio is a rural town, and it just seemed like a unique place to own a business.” At the time, Mike worked in industrial sales and he liked that Minuteman Press wanted to him “to focus on running the business, not running a press.” He continues, “We looked at small businesses, other franchises, and another printing business. With printing, I liked that I would be selling to customers who could become repeat clients and order more from us. I also found the business hours and employee structure to be appealing, and with Minuteman Press, the royalty cap was a huge plus.” On that point, Mike shares, “Minuteman Press is a franchise that really cares about our success as franchisees. I feel that we get more help and support for the limited royalties we pay than other franchises who don’t have a cap. It’s not just about the dollars, it’s about the work they put in. They adapt and stay current, and the tech team is really cutting edge with everything they put into FLEX.” Another thing that really stands out to Mike after 31-plus years is the fact that he has always been able to run his business in a rural town like Lebanon in the way he wanted that best fit his community. “I always liked that Minuteman Press was hands-off in the sense that we could do what we needed for our business. We can do what works for us in our marketplace and go in the directions we want to go with our products and services as well as our pricing. They never asked me to charge $5.99 for a Big Mac because that’s what New York is charging.” Mike also credits his wife Karen Geygan for really solidifying the business from the financial side of things. “Karen worked on the financial side of the business and made sure everything was handled in that area. Her contributions over the years have been invaluable to our bottom line.” Growing to a Million-Dollar Business From 1991 to 1998, Mike, along with his wife Karen and his staff, were able to steadily build the business. They first joined the President’s Million-Dollar Circle in 1998 and they continued to hit that impressive milestone every year for the next 24 years (with the exception of 2020). Mike shares, “The biggest thing for us early on was growing through word of mouth referrals. At that time, I found that most printing companies in our area were not ‘good printers’ in the sense that their quality wasn’t great and they didn’t meet deadlines. We stepped in with printing that looked better and was always on time, and as a result we developed an extremely good reputation.” Mike continues, “We grew significantly based on those two key areas of quality and service. After 31 years, I can’t think of one customer that we lost because we dropped the ball. It’s all about communication. We talk to our customers, and we are honest with them. If we need to fix something or deliver on a tight deadline, we find a way to get it done.” He adds, “I have found that the shops that are the most successful operate with a sense of urgency. You have to be proactive. If a job needs to be delivered Friday, get it done early in case a machine goes down, paper or supplies don’t show up, or an employee is out unexpectedly. Don’t wait until Friday morning. The quicker you know something is wrong, the easier it is to find a solution. That is what’s always worked for us.” “We went from 100K in yearly sales when we first started to about $1.3 million per year. We got very comfortable and now it’s time to retire.” -Mike Geygan Today, Minuteman Press in Lebanon is a digital print shop with six full-time staff and two part-time staff. Mike shares, “We specialize in digital printing and do a good amount of mailings. We are in a rural town and so we do a lot of saturation mail for local school districts and other clients such as a large HVAC company and an addiction treatment facility. We also saw that during the pandemic, our community needed products such as large format printing, labels, posters, and signage.” Speaking of the pandemic, Mike says, “We were fortunate enough to be cushioned from serious impacts in 2020. In 2021, we found ourselves back at 2019 levels, and in 2022, we were up 20% over 2021 sales.” With new ownership coming in, Mike sees ripe opportunity for growth. “We have a nice foundation in place but I also see room for growth in wide format, apparel, and automation mailing. There are a lot of studies that show print is more effective than other forms of marketing. I think it’s important to mix in different ways of marketing and use print, internet, and social media channels.” Selling the Business When asked what it was like to work with Minuteman Press International to sell the business and secure his exit strategy, Mike shares, “I first had the thought of selling in March of 2022. I was turning 63 in July, I mentioned to my Regional VP Gary Nowak that we were starting to think about selling the business. My original intent was to retire by 65, and conventional wisdom told me that it would take some time to complete the sale. We were not intending to sell this year and weren’t ready to actually list the business for sale.” Mike continues, “Gary informed me in early July that he had potential buyers who he was already in contact with, and I figured there was no harm in meeting with them. As it turned out, the meeting with the buyers went well, and we ended up getting an offer fairly quickly. By September, the agreement was signed, and the sale was completed in November of 2022.” From his perspective, Frank Hiti says, “When we started looking to buy a business, I came across a business for sale ad from Minuteman Press. Gary Nowak reached out to me and as we were discussing a couple of different opportunities, we were introduced to Mike Geygan. We liked what we saw on our end with Minuteman Press in Lebanon and now during the transition, we are absolutely thrilled with how things are turning out. We bought the right business for us from great people in Mike and Karen Geygan.” “Our attitude was that if we get a good offer for the business, we would sell, and if we didn’t get an offer we were comfortable with, we wouldn’t sell. We really liked the buyers Frank and Melissa Hiti. We sold the business at a good time for us at a price we were comfortable with before we needed to sell, and while things were going well.” -Mike Geygan Mike shares the following three keys to selling a business: 1. Have clean financials. It’s important to be properly prepared for any questions and document requests, and to know your numbers. 2. Run a solid business and invest wisely. My dad was a financial planner, so in addition to running our business, we took care of ourselves on the personal investment side. That really adds up over the years, so be smart about how you invest and start early. 3. A business where the owner is doing everything is worth less to buyers. The company needs to be transferrable to new ownership. Delegate responsibilities to your team, and cross-train your employees. The more they know, the more valuable your business will be at the time of the sale. Final Reflections & Advice for Others As Mike and Karen transition to retirement, he reflects on what he’ll miss most. “Everybody says it’s the people that make the business, and that’s so true. We love our customers and our employees; they are like family to us. I also love being involved in the community and served on many local boards. Because we deal with such a broad variety of customers and organizations in the printing business, I was one of the people who knew everyone and so everyone would come to me. I simply loved being able to help and connect others.” He adds, “Our customers are happy for us, and I am very impressed with our local Minuteman Press field representative Ryan McIntyre who is helping with the transition, as well as the new owners Frank and Melissa Hiti. I know the business is being left in great hands.” Mike’s final piece of advice for others is this: “There are three functions that have to happen in order to be successful: 1. Find the business; 2. Get the jobs out on time; 3. Get customers to pay for your products and services. When you are small and just starting out, these functions may fall to the owner. However, if you want to grow, you need to delegate responsibilities and develop a company, not a monument to the owner. Remember, it’s a team effort.” Minuteman Press in Lebanon, Ohio, is located at 101 Dave Avenue, Suite E, Lebanon, OH 45036.

Yoshitsu Co. Offers Duty-Free Shopping Services As Japan Opens Its Doors To Tourists

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga In October, Japan lifted its COVID restrictions and opened the door to tourists, unrestricted, for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. Japan was one of the countries with the strictest travel precautions and restrictions. The number of foreigners that visited in October, both tourists and business travelers, rose to 498,000, which is more than double September’s amount of travelers. The Japanese government is eager to have the tourism industry boost the economy. In light of the return of tourism, Yoshitsu Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: TKLF), a Tokyo-based provider of health, wellness, beauty products, home goods, and food, announced some new domestic duty-free shopping opportunities. Cosmetic and beauty products are some of the most purchased duty-free products. Yoshitsu is hoping to take advantage of the desire for tourists to purchase Asian beauty products at duty-free locations. Since early November, Yoshitsu has provided pickup services at its Urawa and KoshigayaRyutsudanchi stores in Saitama, Japan. Additionally, the company is offering the same service in Nagano, Japan; Yoshitsu is the first company to offer this service in Nagano. To accomplish its pickup service, the company partnered with Digital Transformation Service Provider, iEnt Co., Inc. The partnership allows the company to enter the e-commerce market; foreigners can shop on the TaxFreeOnline.jp (TFO) platform and pick up their orders at one of the three designated locations in Japan. The company is planning to offer sweepstakes and promotions to bring awareness to new opportunities and meet the demands of tourists. Mr. Mei Kanayama, the Principal Executive Officer of Yoshitsu Co., Ltd, commented, “We are excited to see that the Japanese government opened its borders to foreign visitors, which should prompt the inbound tourism recovery in Japan. We strive to attract foreign visitors by providing TFO and pickup services at our stores, which offer them a convenient shopping experience during their stay in Japan. Looking forward, we will remain focused on providing unparalleled services and diversified selection of products at our stores. We are confident that our improved customer experience and promotion activities will attract foreign visitors and our strong capacity will meet the anticipated increased needs of foreign visitors.” Companies like Yoshitsu offering unique opportunities like duty-free shopping for tourists will be instrumental in driving tourist spending. The Japanese government is hopin g to reach an annual 60 million foreign visitors by 2030 and is aiming for an annual 5 trillion yen in tourist spending.

Meet the Humanoid Robot Helping Care For Japan’s Aging Population

MarketJar

The robot gently closed a claw "hand" around the phone, lifted it above eye level, and took a selfie as its digital eyes briefly changed into hearts. This is Aeo, the newest robot from Aeolus Robotics, which was just on display at CES 2023, the biggest consumer technology show in the world. Aeolus’ goal is to create robots that will enhance quality of life and advance the positive impact robots already have on society. With features like the capacity to deliver food and medication to elderly people, the Aeo was created to be a helper. With its nimble mechanical robotic arms, it can lift an 8-pound cooler with ease and hold a phone without dropping or breaking it. Aeo uses numerous cameras and IR sensors on its base for its autonomous navigation. It can navigate a room, open doors and ride elevators with its nimble right arm, all while using its left UV light to clean surfaces (an important tool for places like schools and hospitals). It can be used for security, food delivery, and patrolling. If needed, the robot can be manually operated remotely, although the company claims that few situations require that level of control. The Aeo robot, which is meant to take some of the work off of real people and enhance the quality of life for those in care, has been lending a hand at eldercare homes in Japan since its debut at CES 2018. This service could be essential to Japan, which has by far the highest senior population ratio in the world, with 29.1% of the population over 65 years old. Of course, it isn’t just old folks' homes that are in need of a helping hand. The global labor shortage is leaving several industries short on staff. Security Robots Market Could Quadruple by 2030 Because of the severe labor scarcity in the security sector, relying on machines and robots is becoming more attractive. As a result, the market for security robots is expected to increase by almost 400% by 2030. Around the world, security robots are being used in parking lots, malls, campuses, or schools and rising global demand for security robots and rising adoption of advanced automation techniques is expected in the market. Among the companies involved in the space is Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ:KSCP), a leading Silicon Valley developer of Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) that deter, detect, and report using revolutionary technology that has been shown to help fight crime. Since its founding in 2013, Knightscope has developed its own proprietary tech and put it to use in the field for more than 1.8 million hours. To do this, the company drew on four cutting-edge technologies: autonomous self-driving capabilities, robotics, artificial intelligence, and electric vehicles. The company went public on the NASDAQ in January 2022 after raising over $120 million in funding and drawing more than 35,000 investors. Knightscope has continued to broaden its customer base with a string of new contracts. Some of Knightscope's new clients are a global company that makes and sells medical and laboratory supplies, two hotels, a sports complex in New York, a multi-family housing complex in Pennsylvania, and the University of New Jersey, which has a 41-machine contract with Knightscope. The public safety innovator is kicking off the New Year with four new contracts for a total of eight new machines, including three K5 Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) and five K1 Blue Light Towers. Knightscope’s new clients include one of the largest security companies in the United States, an American entertainment company that runs entertainment, sports content, and casino gaming businesses all under one roof, a real estate developer in Chicago, Kansas City, and St. Louis, and a teaching hospital in New York that has been open for almost 100 years. Knightscope’s roster of clientele now includes the government, public institutions and commercial businesses including Fortune 1000 companies, entertainment venues, hospitals, school campuses, storage facilities, logistics, manufacturing plants and more.

Verità Continues Growth in the New Year with an Acquisition Significantly Increasing the Company’s Size and Depth in the Great Lakes Region

Verità Telecommunications Corp.

Verità Telecommunications closed off 2022 with the acquisition of Taylor Telecommunications Inc. Taylor Telecommunications, founded by Tam Taylor has been in the industry since 1978, offering Outside Plant Services (OSP) for seamless communications. The result of two close-knit, family-based companies coming together is credited to the commitment of the Taylor and Verità teams. “More than profitability, it is about prioritizing the people and culture of the organization to succeed with continued progressive growth and development for our team and our clients,” said Verità’s President, Michael Falsetti of the acquisition. What this means in terms of growth and advancement for Verità includes Taylor’s 130 employees, trucks, tools and equipment, with added coverage in Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown, and Columbus. This expansion is expected to create an additional 100 jobs in the Great Lakes Region as well. In addition, the acquisition is expected to be a 70% revenue increase for the company in 2023. We look forward to welcoming the Taylor team to the Verità Family. Together we will serve Ohio, the Great Lakes Region and the Southeast Region with an increased depth of service, expertise and expanded team. Earlier this year, Verità Telecommunications announced the purchase of Nomad Tower Services, which included a $10 million investment in a new facility in Michigan. Like the Nomad Tower Services, LLC acquisition, Taylor Telecommunications will continue to operate as a division of Verità Telecommunications. “Bridging the digital divide is crucial to the growth and advancement of our communities in the Great Lakes and Southeast regions. The continued expansion of Verità brings the strengths and expertise of longstanding telecommunication companies together to provide a full scope of services to the region”, said Michael Falsetti. Verita will continue its expansion in the Great Lakes and Southeast Region this year through organic and acquisition growth with, yet another transaction slated in late Q1 of 2023. We believe this growth enhances opportunities for our employees and allows us to provide single source large turnkey solutions for our customers thereby strengthening our relationships. Verità is a family-owned business that operates on the philosophy of a collective commitment with the team that is valued and recognized as an important part of the success of the business and Verità clients. These values extend outside of the company through the many community initiatives that Verità supports. “Taylor Telecommunications has been connecting our community for 40 years. As we move forward together with Verità our teams will continue to provide seamless connectivity with expanded capabilities across the Great Lakes and Southeast region,” said Tam Taylor, Founder of Taylor Telecommunications. Verità Telecommunications currently provides single source solutions for telecommunications providers such as AT&T, Verizon, Charter, Everstream Solutions, Comcast, T-Mobile and Dish in several other states including Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Missouri and other areas in Ohio. With advanced equipment, state-of-the-art technology and a skilled team, Verità is dedicated to becoming a seamless part of the success of each project.
