After February IPO, Functional Fashion Firm Perfect Moment Targets Growth And Expansion In Ski Wear And Other Categories, Launches First U.S. Distribution Center

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga From Deer Valley’s slopes to Saint Mortiz's chalets, skiing skills aren’t the only thing on display. So is high fashion as ski enthusiasts strut their stuff in luxury jackets, pants, knitwear and accessories. It's not just fashion for the sake of fashion – advancements in fabric technology are improving the comfort and functionality of ski wear, driving demand in a market that’s forecast to be over $2 billion by 2032. Perfect Moment Ltd. (AMEX: PMNT), the luxury skiwear and lifestyle brand, aims to meet that demand with its line of jackets, pants, suits and apparel. The heritage luxury brand, which has been outfitting skiers and swimmers for decades, went public on the New York Stock Exchange in February, raising $8 million in gross proceeds. The Perfect Moment brand was created in 1984 by Thierry Donard, the professional skier and extreme sports filmmaker, who began making apparel for his team of free-ride skiers and surfers. The company shares that the designs stood out for their quality, style and performance, helping his athletes achieve what he called a perfect skin run, wave ride or otherwise that perfect moment. The designs were known for combining high-end performance with daring, bold prints and colors. Even today, the brand draws on its decades-long commitment to using performance garments and statement designs in its ski, swim and lifestyle outerwear and apparel. The company says its retro-inspired prints and bold color palettes complement technical fabrics to deliver fashion, form and function for women, men and children. Expansion To Fuel Growth Perfect Moments' roots are in performance ski wear, but the company is expanding into new categories and markets, which it says should fuel its growth in the years to come. Take its line of apparel and accessories designed for customers off the slopes. Its lifestyle brand includes sweaters, pants and jackets, while its accessories include hats, gloves, scarfs, bags and ski goggles. Even in the ski category Perfect Moments is expanding, launching lighter jackets designed to extend the ski season. The company is also forging new partnerships to build brand awareness in the U.S. and beyond. Take its recent deal with Johnnie Walker, the scotch whiskey distiller, for starters. The two teamed up to launch a limited-edition Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ice Chalet. Unveiled by Johnnie Walker Blue Label ambassador and Perfect Moment shareholder actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas, the new blend comes with a bottle and bag designed by Perfect Moment and inspired by the so-called Blue Hour when skiing is done and socializing commences. Perfect Moment also launched a capsule ski wear collection for both women and men, featuring coordinating designs, which have been inspired by the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ice Chalet design. Previously the company also collaborated with the high-fashion brand, Hugo Boss. Over the years, the two teamed up to launch a line of softshell ski jackets and pants in Perfect Moment’s hallmark flared cut and insulating all-in-ones. The last capsule featured designs that can be worn beyond the slopes, such as turtleneck slogan sweaters, knit hoodies and thermal tops. Coordinating accessories from gloves and beanies to bags and eyewear round out the collaboration. Perfect Moment also collaborates with SoHo House, the international private members club, hosting ski days and winter markets that get the word out about its brand. Expanding Retail And Distribution Presence Key partnerships aren’t the only way Perfect Moment seeks to capitalize on the growth of ski wear and winter apparel. With estimates compiled by Perfect Moment forecasting the luxury outerwear market to reach $23.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7%, it is expanding its retail and distribution presence in the U.S. In early October, Perfect Moment opened its first U.S.-based warehouse and distribution center in Dallas, Texas. Operated in partnership with Quiet Platforms, a provider of strategically located fulfillment centers and last-mile delivery solutions, Perfect Moment said the facility has been designed to better facilitate and optimize the company’s order fulfillment and distribution across North America. With it, Perfect Moment said customers will have access to new shipping options, including two-day and overnight delivery, which was not previously practical from the company’s global center in the U.K. The company said the warehouse should contribute to an overall margin improvemen t for fiscal year 2025 ending in March. Perfect Moment also recently opened its first seasonal store in New York City’s famed SoHo district, highlighting its Autumn/Winter 2024 (AW24) collection along with a number of new styles. The AW24 collection, which comprises four collection stories and launched in October, fuses performance materials with its signature style and includes the company’s best-selling styles, such as its Aurora ski pants and Polar Flare jacket, and several new styles. The company said the seasonal store provides an opportunity for it to explore more permanent retail locations. Currently, Perfect Moment’s lines of outerwear and apparel are featured in high-end department stores and online. Skiing is more than a sport; for many it's a fashion opportunity both on the slopes and in the lodges. Perfect Moment has been capturing that for years and now as a newly publicly traded company, is in expansion mode, bringing its luxury and accessible brand to more consumers via its retail store in New York City and its partnerships with well-known brands.

Novela and Film Star Carlos Ponce, Brilla Media, Numatec, and Chicano Hollywood Team Up to Launch Minivela: A Bold New Era for American Latino Filmmakers, Creators, and Advertisers

Brilla Media

Novela and film star Carlos Ponce, Brilla Media, Numatec, and Chicano Hollywood are partnering to launch Minivela, a digital shorts joint venture that starting in January marks a bold new era for American Latino filmmakers, creators, and advertisers. The announcement was made today in Las Vegas as part of the 26th annual ANA Multicultural Marketing & Diversity Conference that is taking place at the Bellagio. (See the Minivela trailer here ). True to its name, Minivela combines the fast-paced nature of vertical short-form content with the iconic, entertaining essence of the telenovela—a genre created by Latinos. The advertiser-supported Minivelas, – ranging from 10 to 90 minutes – are being developed collaboratively with filmmakers and influencers in English, Spanish, or bilingually, depending on the organic needs of the stories. “This is a groundbreaking journey that we believe will empower Latino storytellers and drive U.S. Hispanic digital advertising for years to come,” said Manny Ruiz, who will serve as the Chief Creative Officer and Executive Producer of the joint venture alongside Ponce and will also write and direct select Minivelas. “Our focus is on consistently producing universally appealing stories with a vision that extends beyond Minivelas. A key pillar of our innovative approach is to catapult select narratives into independent features or series.” “Minivela represents a beacon of hope, experimentation, and opportunities for Latino creatives at a time when the Hollywood system is undergoing a much-needed reboot,” said Ponce, who in addition to executive producing, will also act and/or direct in select Minivelas. “I’m thrilled that our Latino-owned venture will address the representation gap for our community organically, and that our operations are driven by pioneers in Latino social media, digital media, and adtech.” Minivela primarily targets American Latinos 18-34, and will commence weekly in January with content verticals that feature romantic comedies, strange happenings, the supernatural, and even La Mala Suegra (The evil mother-in-law). The family-friendly digital films will be accessible free on Minivela’s YouTube, and social media channels, as well as thru adtech conglomerate, Numatec’s distribution partnerships. Combined with Brilla Media’s Nuestro Media network, brand sponsors will be able to secure USH audiences effectively across digital, CTV, and other platforms. Let the Films Roll! A cornerstone of Minivela is Chicano Hollywood, the influential L.A.-based production, media, and magazine company that produces the annual Elevate conference for Latino filmmakers, and is the exclusive West Coast production arm of the company. Chicano Hollywood is already producing one of the platform’s early bets, a feel good romcom called “Cholita Takes L.A.” that is being directed by a rising Chicana director. Cholitas, Cholos, and Cholas shine in this story about a young Bolivian luchadora and aspiring fashion designer who journeys to L.A. to care for her ailing grandmother—only to discover she must also overcome culture clashes and personal challenges on her path to unexpected love. “Minivela is putting deeds before words, and that’s something the Latino film community will root hard for, and why we’re a proud partner,” said Johnny Murrillo, founder and CEO of Chicano Hollywood. “It’s also critical to note that for Minivela, the projects must be Latino-produced but the stories must appeal to audiences universally even outside our core Hispanic community. We have some fun ones lined up!” A Force For Good Being a force for good also matters deeply to Minivela’s founders. “We’re going to push boundaries and prove that you can be creative and positively provocative without leaning on the usual violent drug dealers, and other tired tropes that diminish our community,” said Angela Sustaita-Ruiz, chairwoman of Brilla Media, the parent company of Minivela. “I believe Minivela will also prove to be a catalyst for many Latinas and Latinos who one day will remember that they got their big Hollywood break writing/directing, producing and/or acting in a Minivela.” About Minivela Co-headquartered in Los Angeles and Miami, Minivela is an American Latino-owned and operated company dedicated to producing advertiser-supported digital shorts created by Latino filmmakers and creators. The company is a joint venture between actor Carlos Ponce, Brilla Media, and Numatec. Minivela merges the fast-paced appeal of short-form vertical content with the iconic, entertaining essence of the telenovela—a genre proudly created by Latinos. These advertiser-supported Minivelas, ranging from 10 to 90 minutes, are developed in collaboration with filmmakers and influencers, featuring content in English, Spanish, or a bilingual mix based on the organic needs of the stories. Minivela content is available through its YouTube, and social media channels, as well as through adtech conglomerate, Numatec’s distribution partnerships, which include CTV. About Brilla Media Ventures Brilla Media Ventures provides engaging cultural content for multicultural marketers through its owned and operated platforms, Nuestro Stories, Minivela, Nuestro Studios, and Brilla Latina. Offerings also include programmatic advertising technology services for scalable media delivery, digital shorts, influencer marketing, creative studio services, and brand activations.

The company is led by Angela Sustaita-Ruiz, its chairwoman, and Manny Ruiz, creators of Hispanicize, and trailblazers in the Hispanic media, social and influencer marketing industries, the Latino press release wire industry, and the first network of Hispanic print media companies online.

Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) Strikes Key Industry Partnerships, Fortifying Its Position As Quantum Computing Era Nears

Benzinga

By Gerelyn Terzo, Benzinga Chinese researchers recently accomplished what they claim was the world’s first successful quantum attack on popular encryption algorithms. While the first cohort of thousands of quantum computers isn’t expected to come onto the scene until at least 2030, their problem-solving capabilities already appear to have become a reality. Some cutting-edge companies and projects like Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) already recognize the potential threats this technology could pose as it develops. QRL was designed to protect burgeoning technologies – including blockchains and cryptocurrencies – from any future threats that quantum computing may pose. In fact, the company shares that 99% of blockchains and cryptocurrencies are considered vulnerable in a post-quantum computing world, as blockchains and cryptocurrencies continue to remain heavily dependent on quantum-insecure cryptography. To strengthen its post-quantum preparedness, QRL has been striking key industry partnerships and integrations of late to serve the company’s vision for the foreseeable future. Chief among these collaborations is with the PKI Consortium. Founded in 2013, the PKI Consortium is a group dedicated to the future of Internet security, boasting high-profile members that, in addition to QRL, include Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL), Fox Crypto and card giant Visa (NYSE: V), among many others. Not only is QRL a member of the organization, but it’s also one of the sponsors of an upcoming event hosted by the PKI Consortium. In early 2025, PKIC will host the Post Quantum Cryptography Conference in Austin, Texas, sponsored by QRL alongside peers such as Noreg, Entrust, PQ Shield, SSL.com, KeyFactor and HID. This sponsorship allows QRL the distinct opportunity to collaborate with other expert representatives from the likes of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as well as other industry leaders such as Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON), to name a few. To register for this event, click here. PKI Consortium chair Paul van Brouwershaven stated, "We are delighted to welcome the QRL Foundation as an Innovator sponsor of the hybrid Post-Quantum Cryptography Conference on Jan. 15 - 16, 2025 at the University of Texas at Austin. Their commitment to advancing quantum-resistant technologies supports the collaborative effort needed to future-proof our cryptographic systems, ensuring a resilient and secure digital landscape for all." This partnership is only scratching the surface of all that the QRL team is doing behind the scenes and the important industry relationships it is building along the way. Blockchain industry participants who are interested in joining the project can learn more about all that QRL has to offer here. QRL’s Strategic Relationship Building Among the other strategic partnerships QRL has inked is its deal with the Linux Foundation, more specifically, its Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance (PQCA) arm. Known as a neutral platform for developers to code and scale open technology, the Linux Foundation launched PQCA earlier this year to advance post-quantum cryptography and drive its adoption. Through this alliance, QRL joins in sharing its post-quantum cryptographic expertise to participate in the building of infrastructure of the future with its peers, which include the likes of Amazon Web Services (NASDAQ: AMZN), Google and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), to name a few. Through projects like Open Quantum Safe and Post-Quantum Code Package, PQCA deems its members as “essential to the success of the Foundation” and “instrumental in steering the alliance direction.” As one of the industry’s most loyal partners, QRL also continues to support The League of Entropy, a collaboration that delivers publicly verifiable decentralized randomness as a service (DRS), paving the way for a wide range of applications. As a play on power in numbers, this group shifts the randomness beacon focus from individual entities to a group mentality, where the benefits and security can potentially be more pervasive. QRL’s 2025 Pipeline With the power of its partnerships at its disposal, QRL is looking ahead to Q1 2025 for events such as the public release of its proof-of-stake (PoS) network, which as of early 2024 was in the beta testnet phase, aka Test Zond. This platform boasts compatibility with the industry standard – the decentralized Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) – and QRL will also be seeking new partnerships for which grants are available through its overarching foundation to enhance the technology and its reach. What that means is that developers desiring to build on Layer-1, the foundational layer of the blockchain network, will have the option to build on one that’s quantum secure from the bottom up – QRL. As always, security remains paramount for the QRL team, which has been prioritizing a series of audits before any definitive launch of the platform. The timing couldn’t be better. Indications suggest there might already be a quantum computer threatening to abscond with Bitcoin funds. Anecdotal evidence shows wallet and digital asset movements from legacy Satoshi Nakamoto-era wallets to crypto exchanges involving millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin. While there’s no hard evidence of QC involvement, it’s a good reminder of where vulnerabilities remain in a system that has already been demonstrated to have a target on its back from nefarious actors. The rise of quantum computing will have implications for the crypto sector at large, and those who stick their proverbial heads in the sand could be left behind. Astute industry participants who would like to join in the preparation should visit the QRL today. Featured photo by geralt on Pixabay.

Black Unicorn Factory Achieves $500 Million Milestone in Alternative Funding, Signaling a New Era in Venture Capital

Rev Up Marketers

Black Unicorn Factory announces the successful funding of over 150 businesses, totaling more than $500 million in alternative funding. This significant milestone reflects a shift in the venture capital landscape, emphasizing the viability and effectiveness of non-traditional investment models. The approach adopted by Black Unicorn Factory utilizes specific provisions within the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations that permit investments in "cash or other consideration." By embracing this inclusive definition, Black Unicorn Factory has opened new avenues for businesses that may have been overlooked by conventional funding mechanisms. This strategy has provided essential capital to a diverse array of enterprises, facilitating growth, development, and preparation for public listing. Johnny Stewart, founder of Black Unicorn Factory, stated, "Many have overlooked the potential of 'other consideration' as stipulated in the SEC rules. Utilizing this provision has empowered businesses, particularly those owned by minorities, providing them with the capital necessary to thrive and eventually go public." The $500 million in alternative funding has not only fueled the expansion of numerous businesses but has also highlighted the potential of non-cash investments in driving economic growth. By focusing on alternative investment strategies, Black Unicorn Factory has demonstrated that wealth-building opportunities extend beyond traditional cash transactions. This perspective aligns with a broader movement within the venture capital industry toward diversification and inclusivity. The funded businesses span various industries, reflecting a commitment to supporting a wide range of entrepreneurial endeavors. By providing access to capital through alternative means, Black Unicorn Factory has enabled these enterprises to reach milestones that were previously considered unattainable. This achievement underscores the effectiveness of leveraging SEC rules to create innovative funding solutions. Black Unicorn Factory's model has also contributed to the broader economic empowerment of underrepresented communities. By focusing on minority-owned businesses, the company has played a role in fostering diversity within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This approach resonates with current trends emphasizing social responsibility and equitable access to resources within the business community. The success of this funding model has positioned Black Unicorn Factory as a leader in the national venture capital arena.
