INSURANCE LUMINARIES FLOCK TO HIGHWING

Highwing

Highwing, commercial insurance’s first marketing platform, has named insurance veteran Jim McKenney as Chief Executive Officer and added an advisory board of highly experienced professionals to support its aggressive expansion. Effective immediately, McKenney will lead the company’s talented team of insurtech professionals and realize the company’s vision to address significant challenges and opportunities in commercial insurance through technology. President and Co-founder Erik Mitisek will remain with the firm, leading new business development, marketing and sales. “After developing and implementing sophisticated technologies in one of the world’s leading carriers, I know the value and potential of Highwing and its next-generation marketing platform,” said McKenney. “I’m eager to build on its growth and reputation, ultimately moving the industry forward to meet the promise of technology and speed up the time it takes to bind insurance.” McKenney has a proven record of leading the strategy and implementation of workflow platforms. Among other notable achievements, he led a 600-person team of experts in product and underwriting as Senior Vice President for Liberty Mutual. As EVP Business Head and Chief Strategy Officer for Intellect Design Arena, he led global digital transformations for leading large-scale carriers. A newly created Advisory Board will support McKenney.

We look forward to a collaboration that brings this to life for the industry.” Highwing has experienced rapid growth since its $4M capital raise in 2020.

tvScientific Raises $20 Million Series A Funding to Drive Performance Advertising for Connected TV

tvScientific

tvScientific ( tvscientific.com ), the most sophisticated performance advertising platform built for the connected TV (CTV), announced today it has raised $20 million in Series A funding to expand on its mission to make TV advertising a massive growth driver for brands and apps of all sizes. The round was led by Norwest Venture Partners, with participation from strategic partners NBCUniversal and Hearst Ventures. “Advertisers have always coveted the reach and engagement of television, but the medium’s immeasurability has made it inaccessible to all but the biggest brands,” said Jason Fairchild, co-founder and CEO of tvScientific. “We’ve unlocked the awesome power of television for all types of advertisers by simplifying and automating CTV buying and optimization while leveraging massive data to prove the value of TV advertising.” Built specifically for performance marketers, tvScientific is the first company to offer ad buying, measurement, and optimization for CTV advertising all in one platform. The tvScientific platform connects with 95% of AVOD streaming apps through direct deals allowing advertisers to successfully scale their campaigns. The platform leverages proprietary attribution technology that enables advertisers to match ad exposure to site visitations and other desired outcomes with a 1:1 deterministic ID match, giving advertisers 100% accuracy and transparency they value. The end result are highly targeted ads that can be optimized through tvScientific's proprietary automatic optimization technology to help advertisers achieve their user acquisition goals, all while giving advertisers radical transparency and complete control over their data, including access to log-level events. Television has been one of the most prominent advertising channels since the 1940s and ‘50s, but most performance-based advertisers eschew the channel in favor of digital media and other, more quantifiable channels. In the rise of CTV, which currently penetrates 94 million U.S. households, and its inherent measurement capabilities, performance advertisers face new opportunities. eMarketer predicts that CTV ad spend in the U.S. will reach $29.5 billion by 2024 — more than 40% of total TV ad spend today. “The reality is that the $72 billion U.S. television advertising market is dominated by fewer than 500 national advertisers,” said Jeff Crowe, managing partner, Norwest Venture Partners. “CTV opens the door for many new advertisers to pursue performance advertising in an effective and cost-efficient way. tvScientific has practically eliminated the friction in CTV advertising and made it far easier for businesses of all sizes to buy CTV inventory with the control, measurement and accountability they’re accustomed to getting from search and social channels.” Since launching its platform in April of 2021, tvScientific has experienced rapid growth. tvScientific offers fully managed services and also makes its technology available as a self-serve platform so marketers can bring their performance TV buying in-house at any time. The funding brought tvScientific’s total amount raised to $23 million, including a $3 million seed round from IdealabX, AperiamVentures, and angel investors from companies such as Yahoo!, Kabam, Integral Ad Science, GoFundMe and others. The company was founded by senior executives with deep roots in digital media, programmatic advertising, and ad verification, including Bill Gross, founder of GoTo.com; Jason Fairchild, co-founder of OpenX; Kent Wakeford, former COO of Kabam and co-founder of Integral Ad Science; and David Koye, former chief digital officer of SummitMedia. The company will use the new funding to grow its customer base, hire for key roles in engineering, product, data science, marketing, sales and other departments, and continue innovating the product in support of the company’s mission of making TV accessible, measurable and performant for all businesses. About tvScientific tvScientific is the most sophisticated performance advertising platform built for connected TV. The tvScientific platform makes TV advertising accessible and measurable for brands and apps of all sizes. tvScientific offers a self-managed solution custom built for performance marketers, that simplifies and automates TV buying and optimization, leveraging massive data to prove the actual value of TV advertising. The platform reaches 95% of AVOD inventory using proprietary, deterministic ID technology to measure ad exposure to outcome in an approachable, radically transparent and scalable way. An Idealab company, tvScientific was co-founded by senior executives with deep roots in programmatic advertising, digital media, and ad verification.

Panasonic Connect North America Expands KAIROS Platform with Development of Cloud-Based Solution

Panasonic Professional Imaging & Visual Systems

Panasonic Connect North America today announced plans to develop a cloud-based solution for video production within the KAIROS ecosystem for the U.S. market that allows crews to take advantage of the KAIROS IT/IP production platform’s powerful video processing and distribution capabilities without confining them to an on-premise studio. The cloud-based solution works with the on-premise KAIROS IT/IP platform ( released in May 2020), which revolutionized video production by giving professionals unlimited control to deliver rich content to multiple screens and streams. This new cloud-based solution enters the market amid the proliferation of streaming platforms and the increased demand for quality video content and high production value. With corporations hosting more hybrid-style events and houses of worship looking to enhance virtual services, the cloud is playing an increasingly important role in streamlining workflows for greater efficiency. For industries, such as higher education and house of worship, where it may be costly to set up a full-scale production studio, KAIROS Cloud-Based Solution can support the entire workflow in a simplified set-up. It consolidates video materials captured by cameras into the cloud and makes them accessible not only from the production site but also from remote offices and homes, allowing production teams to edit, produce and distribute content efficiently in real-time. Moving video production to the cloud means production sites can reduce their initial on-site investments and leverage the system to support hybrid workflows. “While more and more organizations are looking to grow and enhance their video-based content, not all will have the space or budget to develop a full-scale production studio,” said Michael Bergeron, Senior Category Owner, Advanced Technology & Video Production at Panasonic. “That’s where flexible solutions like KAIROS Cloud-Based Solution will become key to the industry’s future, giving all types of production crews a decentralized way to shoot, produce, distribute and deliver video content more efficiently.” The new cloud solution shares the same software and underlying technology as the on-premise version, allowing for integration with any existing KAIROS ecosystem. This means production crews can easily leverage the cloud and on-premise versions separately or together for a seamless production workflow. KAIROS Core on premise delivers a single frame of latency to local screens -necessary for IMAG applications, while a cloud account offers new features activation on a project basis. Adding the cloud component to a local hardware further enhances the flexibility and scalability for a production team at any level. KAIROS customers using the cloud-based solution will also have the option to leverage a KAIROS Control Panel, with either the original AT-KC10C1 full size panel or the new AT-KC10C2 compact panel, to manage production workflows. The AT-KC10C2 (available Q4 CY2022) will enable the same level of operability as the AT-KC10C1 but in a compact layout ideal for fly-packs or smaller control rooms. KAIROS Cloud-Based Solution also offers a monthly subscription-based pricing model that can scale up and down depending on production needs, making it more accessible to those who do not want to invest in a full-blown studio. Production teams can also increase and decrease storage as necessary. To expand the flexibility of the broader KAIROS on-premise platform, Panasonic is also announcing the availability of Agile I/O, a new feature that provides AV professionals with additional input and output capacity and enhanced audio functions to support larger and more complex productions. The new cloud-based solution, along with the KAIROS on-premise platform, the new AT-KC10C2 compact panel and Agile I/O, will be on display at Panasonic’s NAB booth (C3607) from April 24-27, 2022. For more information on the entire KAIROS video production solutions, visit: https://na.panasonic.com/us/kairos # # # About Panasonic Connect North America Established on April 1, 2022 as part of the Panasonic Group’s switch to an operating company system, Panasonic Connect North America is a B2B company offering device hardware, software and professional services to provide value to customers across the public sector, federal government, education, immersive entertainment, food services and manufacturing industries. With the mission to “Change Work, Advance Society, Connect to Tomorrow,” Panasonic Connect North America works closely with its community of partners, innovators and integrators to provide the right technologies to address customers’ ever-evolving needs in today’s connected enterprise.

Telos' Decentralization Rivals that of Bitcoin and Ethereum

Telos Foundation

Telos Blockchain (ticker: TLOS), the world’s most robust and decentralized ESG compliant layer 1 platform and home to the world's fastest, highest capacity EVM (tEVM), derives credible neutrality and decentralization from at least 42 equally distinct validating nodes compared to the much smaller number of major mining pools securing Bitcoin and Ethereum. After a thorough competitive analysis comparing Telos’ decentralization to the decentralization of many of the other top Layer 1 chains, the Foundation has confirmed its assumptions. Based on validator equality and crucial factors regarding architecture and finances, the team confirmed that Telos is indeed one of the leading chains regarding credible neutrality and decentralization. As mining pools lack equality, massive node counts become irrelevant: As depicted in the pie charts above, Telos, via its governance, has maintained an equitable distribution amongst all its active validators and Bitcoin and Ethereum have not. Instead, the mining pools of both Bitcoin and Ethereum have now become centralized. The hypothesis is that over the years the well-funded pools have overtaken the little ones. Despite the substantial number of nodes, to be a credibly neutral peer-to-peer network, the network must also sustain even splits in validator power / responsibilities. Without this equality, the insulating strengths of decentralized peer-to-peer networking becomes significantly degraded. A decentralized network made up of equitable validators adds a powerful layer of insulation against multiple scenarios. For example, a multi-government coalition could potentially implement disruptive regulations or restrictions on blockchain. If only a handful of validators / mining pools need to be targeted, it becomes much easier for those governments to impose their will and degrade the insulation that a peer-to-peer network is supposed to provide. In fact, an event far smaller than this could instantly interrupt some chains from operating as they intended. However, the problem is not just limited to government interference. It is also the potential of a coalition amongst the validator majority that threatens the decentralization and stability of a chain. Despite having many nodes, it appears that for Bitcoin it would take only ~5 large mining pools to form a majority, only ~4 for Ethereum and 22 for Telos (as depicted in the pie charts above). Aside from this significant (4x to 5x) difference, it is also worth noting that the community fairly votes the Telos validators into active slots vs Bitcoin / Ethereum in which the mining pool’s principles are anonymous and can simply buy their way into a majority position. Hence, the centralization and lack of credible neutrality that has now formed. Credible neutrality cannot exist in an environment in which control and influence is exerted by small groups of well-funded people. This move towards validator centralization also leads to neutrality questions that are impossible to answer. For example, are the validator majorities' ambitions in line with what is best for the chain or themselves? To put the potential gravity of this into perspective one needs to understand that the principal/s of a majority sized mining pool can easily be a crime syndicate, and no one would know about it due to the anonymity. In fact, all the major mining pools can hypothetically be owned by crime syndicates, and no one would ever know. In contrast to this, with chain-governed validator equality and ongoing fair community voting, these credibility and neutrality questions are simply non-existing issues. In fact, all these chain degrading scenarios are exactly what the Telos architecture and governance have insulated against. As a chain’s validator network becomes unequal in size; the more it will move towards centralization, the more its neutrality will become biased and the more these chain breakdown scenarios may become a reality. Insider allocation cost blockchain’s their credible neutrality: Being that Telos was a 100% bootstrap project (95% of the coins airdropped to the community, 5% were used as equal pay to the almost 150 contributors, no insider handouts, and no ICO), the team already knew that its insider allocation was at the same level as Bitcoin’s beginnings, zero. Telos is the only L1 chain besides Bitcoin to have ever reached this stage of maturity while still maintaining zero insider allocation. All the other L1 chains are believed to be centralized and unable to become credibly neutral public infrastructure due to their insider allocation (click here to see). With this being noted, these chains will most likely never be utilized by governments as a legal tender and dApps depending on this infrastructure will never be 100% insulated by the full power of credible neutrality and decentralization. Telos Decentralization: Since its inception, the validators of the Telos Blockchain are both equally sized and regionally / globally diversified. Plus, no ungoverned wallet is known to hold more than 2% of the chain. From chain architecture to finances, decentralization and neutrality are of the highest priority for the chain. Over the last 4 years, Telos has grown into a truly utopian blockchain option for both private and public infrastructure. It is ludicrously fast, very inexpensive, extremely energy efficient, credibly neutral, non-congested, super easy to deploy on and the only chain that fully insulates the public from the front running / MEV that is plaguing Ethereum. Decentralization Highlights: Telos is the only third generation layer 1 blockchain to have never done an ICO [initial coin offering] and this non-action alone insulates the chain greatly regarding insider collusion and the SEC security law suits. Telos, at its inception, electively chose to stay a bootstrap project and rise in the same fashion as Bitcoin. All other third generation layer 1 chains (including Ethereum) have done ICOs and will more than likely be forced to file with the SEC as securities. The former and current SEC Chairman have both expressed that every ICO [initial coin offering] they have seen are indeed securities, that they have jurisdiction, and that federal securities laws apply. The validating architecture of other networks might be structured via peer-to-peer architecture, but they are not credibly decentralized due to the distribution of monetary / voting / validating power. Again, insider allocation is non-existent and as you can see above in the pie charts depicting validator decentralization, Telos Validators are proportionally equal. Telos governance has the fairest voting system in existence, called Telos Decide. It is tamper-proof and secured by the Tlos coins that investors own. A coin holder can vote on behalf of the coins they hold and rely on outcomes that do not require any further human involvement. No other Layer 1 offers this level of automated community fairness. Especially because the Telos governance documents may be dynamically amended by the votes of the coin holders in a process that is entirely controlled by on-chain smart contracts. Governments, investors, dApp creators, and end users need not forget that the fundamental features which bring the most value to blockchain are credible neutrality and decentralization. With credible neutrality and decentralization the following attributes are all significantly enhanced: Utility Redundancy Security / Trust Individual Financial Independence dApp Sovereignty Fair Voting Legal Tender The actions and inactions of Telos are driven by the belief that the public and private sectors require credibly neutral blockchain infrastructure in a third-generation capable format. Credible neutrality, ludicrously fast speeds, energy efficiency, and super low-cost transactions make Telos the perfect crypto currency for the global internet and for the people.
