Claravine Makes the Inc. 5000 for Fourth Consecutive Year

Claravine

Inc. revealed today that Claravine ranks No. 2426 on the 2023 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other household name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. "It is an honor to be recognized four consecutive years in the Inc. 5000,” says Verl Allen, CEO of Claravine. “The past four years have been transformative for Claravine and earning a place in the Inc. 5000 is a testament to the incredible success of our clients, which include over a quarter of the Fortune 100, and our world-class team. We plan to continue building on this momentum to power higher quality data decisions across our customers using data standards.” The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate ticked up to an astonishing 2,238 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 1,187,266 jobs to the economy over the past three years. For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location, and other criteria, go to www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 23. “Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.” This acknowledgement comes on the heels of a milestone year for Claravine. Recently, Claravine acquired Netra, Inc, a content classification company powered by artificial intelligence, and added its services to AWS Marketplace. Claravine was also recently named for the second consecutive time to AdExchanger’s Programmatic Power Players list, as well as awarded the 2022 AdExchanger Award for Best Data Technology. Claravine was also named a cool vendor in the 2022 Gartner Cool Vendors in Marketing Data and Analytics report. More about Inc. and the Inc. 5000 Methodology Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2022. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2022 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places. About Inc. Inc.

Second Full-Scale Laser System Module Completed

Silex Systems Limited

August 15, 2023 (AEST): Silex Systems Limited (Silex) (ASX: SLX) (OTCQX: SILXY) is pleased to announce the completion of another significant milestone in the SILEX uranium laser enrichment project being conducted in collaboration with exclusive licensee, US-based Global Laser Enrichment (GLE). The milestone involved the accelerated construction and successful completion of testing of the second module of full-scale laser technology required for GLE’s commercial pilot demonstration project being conducted in Wilmington, North Carolina. The second laser system module was constructed and tested at Silex’s Lucas Heights laser technology development centre in less than 12 months, in line with the accelerated schedule for the commercial-scale pilot demonstration project, which may be completed as early as mid-2024. Authorised for release by the Silex Board of Directors. Further information on the Company’s activities can be found on the Silex website: www.silex.com.au or by contacting investor.relations@silex.com.au Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors: About Silex Systems Limited (ASX: SLX) (OTCQX: SILXY) Silex Systems Limited ABN 69 003 372 067 (Silex) is a technology commercialisation company whose primary asset is the SILEX laser enrichment technology, originally developed at the Company’s technology facility in Sydney, Australia. The SILEX technology has been under development for uranium enrichment jointly with US-based exclusive licensee Global Laser Enrichment LLC (GLE) for a number of years. Success of the SILEX uranium enrichment technology development program and the proposed Paducah commercial project remain subject to a number of factors including the satisfactory completion of the engineering scale-up program and nuclear fuel market conditions and therefore remains subject to associated risks. Silex is also at various stages of development of additional commercial applications of the SILEX technology, including the production of ‘Zero-Spin Silicon’ for the emerging technology of silicon-based quantum computing. The ‘Quantum Silicon’ project remains dependent on the outcomes of the project and the viability of silicon quantum computing and is therefore subject to various risks. Silex is also conducting research activities in its Medical Isotope Separation Technology (MIST) Project, which is early-stage and subject to numerous risks. The commercial future of the SILEX technology in application to uranium, silicon, medical and other isotopes is therefore uncertain and any plans for commercial deployment are speculative. Additionally, Silex has an interest in a unique semiconductor technology known as ‘cREO®’ through its 100% ownership of subsidiary Translucent Inc. The cREO® technology developed by Translucent has been acquired by IQE Plc based in the UK. IQE has paused the development of the cREO® technology until a commercial opportunity arises. The future of IQE’s development program for cREO® is very uncertain and remains subject to various technology and market risks. Forward Looking Statements The commercial potential of these technologies is currently unknown. Accordingly, no guarantees as to the future performance of these technologies can be made. The nature of the statements in this announcement regarding the future of the SILEX technology as applied to uranium enrichment, Zero-Spin Silicon production, medical and other isotope separation projects, the cREO® technology and any associated commercial prospects are forward-looking and are subject to a number of variables, including but not limited to, unknown risks, contingencies and assumptions which may be beyond the control of Silex, its directors and management. You should not place reliance on any forward-looking statements as actual results could be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of various risk factors. Further, the forward-looking statements contained in this Announcement involve subjective judgement and analysis and are subject to change due to management’s analysis of Silex’s business, changes in industry trends, government policies and any new or unforeseen circumstances. The Company’s management believes that there are reasonable grounds to make such statements as at the date of this Announcement. Silex does not intend, and is not obligated, to update the forward-looking statements except to the extent required by law or the ASX Listing Rules. Risk Factors Risk factors that could affect future results and commercial prospects of Silex include, but are not limited to: ongoing economic and social uncertainty, including in relation to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; geopolitical risks, in particular relating to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and tensions between China and Taiwan which may impact global supply chains, among other risks; uncertainties related to the effects of climate change and mitigation efforts; the results of the GLE/SILEX uranium enrichment pilot plant demonstration program; the market demand for natural uranium and enriched uranium; the outcome of the project for the production of ‘Zero-Spin Silicon’ for the emerging technology of silicon-based quantum computing; the outcome of the MIST program; the potential development of, or competition from alternative technologies; the potential for third party claims against the Company’s ownership of Intellectual Property; the potential impact of prevailing laws or government regulations or policies in the USA, Australia or elsewhere; whether IQE’s commercialisation program for cREO® is resumed, the results from the program and the market opportunities for cREO® products; actions taken by the Company’s commercialisation partners and other stakeholders that could adversely affect the technology development programs and commercialisation strategies; and the outcomes of various strategies and projects undertaken by the Company.

Sekur’s Suite Of Encrypted And Private Communication Tools Will Now Be Available To Morocco’s Largest Telecommunications And Banking Companies Thanks To New Agreement

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga This month, Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQB: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) announced a new distribution agreement with Digital Smart Solution Sarl (DSS), a Morocco-based IT services consulting company. The agreement will see Sekur’s suite of privacy solutions, including SekurMesenger, SekurVPN and SekurMail offered to some of Morocco’s largest companies in the telecommunications and banking sectors. Sekur Is A Leader In Developing Truly Private And Secure Communication And Internet Access Among the solutions that will be distributed under the new agreement is SekurMessenger. The proprietary chat, voice-message and file-sharing app allows users to communicate via a secure and very private channel without disclosing their phone number or other contact information. It also comes with a self-destruct timer that users can set to automatically clear message history at regular intervals. That’s true even when using the app to chat with someone who doesn’t have SekurMessenger through its chat-by-invite feature. The enterprise version archives all communications at server level for compliance, and offers full users’ permissions and onboarding, offering a compliant true private closed loop communications solution for businesses and their client base and offering an alternative to other non-compliant messaging applications in use today by many employees in the financial, legal and medical sectors. According to a CNBC article dated Aug 8th, 2023, U.S. regulators announced a combined $549 million in penalties against Wall Street firms that failed to maintain electronic records of employee communications. That level of privacy and data protection could be a game changer in a market that currently suffers from a lack of robust cybersecurity. “Approximately 90% of African businesses are operating without cybersecurity protocols in place, making them vulnerable to cyber threats, such as hacking, phishing, and malware attacks,” said Sekur CEO Alain Ghiai. Privacy is still an issue even within the cybersecurity services market, though. Data mining and third-party leaks are major issues among virtual private network (VPN) providers, for example. VPNs are meant to offer users a way to browse the internet while concealing their IP address and making the rest of their data less vulnerable to hackers. But many VPN providers structure their service in a way that leaves glaring loopholes for data leaks. In July, for example, Meta (NASDAQ: META) was fined AU$20 Million by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission after its subsidiary, Onavo Protect VPN, was found to be monitoring and logging user activity and sharing that data with its parent company. Even when a VPN provider promises that it doesn’t log user activity, it might use third-party servers or bundle its VPN with third-party services like ad blockers or anti-virus software that don’t make the same data privacy guarantees. That’s what Sekur wanted to solve with its SekurVPN launched in April. The VPN service is hosted entirely on Sekur’s own servers based in Switzerland, where data privacy laws are especially strict. It’s also a pure VPN service with no other third-party add-ons bundled into the plan. The result is a no-frills, easy-to-use VPN that not only guarantees that it won’t monitor or log user data but avoids the risk of third-party providers tracking or sharing that data as well. This level of privacy and security is especially important for businesses that are often handling not just their own data but that of customers and, as a result, are more likely to be targeted by cybercriminals. DSS Distribution Agreement Aligns With Sekur’s Recent Push Into Enterprise Security Market Under the new deal, DSS will start by approaching two of the largest telecom operators in Morocco which serve a combined mobile subscriber base of well over 20 million users. This comes as Sekur takes major steps to grow its enterprise services segment, including plans to launch major marketing campaigns by the fourth quarter of this year targeting the 30 million small businesses in the United States, where two-thirds of today’s VPN users are based. Alongside its expanded distribution and marketing strategy, the company is also developing a suite of Sekur Enterprise solutions to better cater to this segment as its network of enterprise customers grows.

YouSolar Wants to Bring Independent Power To The World – And Millionaires Are Reportedly Its Most Eager Early Customers

YouSolar, Inc.

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Interested in investing in the YouSolar campaign? Click here to get started. The adoption of widespread renewable energy is no longer a question of technology but rather the burdensome bureaucratic processes and financial obstacles faced by utility-scale wind and solar power plants. These projects often have to wait for years to connect to the power grid, only to be hit with expensive fees. The application process – known as the interconnection queue – is not only delaying the distribution of clean power but also effectively impeding the United States from achieving its climate goals. The backlog in the interconnection queue is indicative of a larger issue for the country's climate efforts. The U.S. lacks an adequate number of transmission lines to support the transition from a fossil fuel-dependent electricity system to a decarbonized energy grid. Some industry leaders like YouSolar are looking to decentralization as a solution. Decentralized energy systems or distributed energy systems refer to a network of localized power sources that generate electricity closer to where it is consumed. These systems typically include renewable sources of energy, such as solar panels, wind turbines or small hydropower facilities that produce power on a smaller scale. Decentralized energy systems have a more flexible and resilient design than traditional systems, which rely on large power plants and transmission lines. They offer a wide range of benefits like reduced transmission losses, enhanced reliability, improved energy security and greater flexibility in accommodating new technologies such as electric vehicles. One of the key components of this decentralized power infrastructure is a nanogrid. A nanogrid is designed to provide primary power to an entire home without relying on the grid for peak loads. It acts as a vital building block in creating a 100% clean energy future. YouSolar has developed a fully integrated solar nanogrid, the Powerbloc®. The PowerBloc is a primary power solution for residential and business applications and provides an uninterrupted power supply for the entire building. The PowerBloc is a fully-integrated solar nanogrid that includes advanced solar panel electronics. It acts as an Uninterrupted Power Supply for the entire home and contains an energy management system that uses solar and load forecasts to decide how to optimize the use of the batteries. One of the more unique characteristics of the PowerBloc is its modular design. This design feature means the system is flexible and can be upgraded if needed or desired. YouSolar is already seeing success in California's wine country and along the Big Sur coast. The company’s primary customers are currently affluent, self-reliant homeowners who live off-grid, want a reliable and clean power supply and are willing to pay for it. The demand is clear. In 2021, the residential battery market size was valued at $12 billion. By 2028, the market is expected to rise to over $49 billion with a compound annual growth rate of 17.75%. Part of the driving force toward independent electricity is the unreliability of the main electrical grid. YouSolar aims to become a leading provider of independent power systems in the luxury residential market. The company has cultivated a network of premium electricians, builders and architects who incorporate YouSolar's nanogrid technology into the homes they design and construct. YouSolar also plans to create awareness for its independent power solution and eventually expand into broader markets. In addition to the luxury segment, the company sees potential in the small commercial market, as high-end homes have power and energy requirements similar to small commercial applications. The company is already in preliminary discussions with partners to deploy fleets of nanogrids to businesses, offering them cost savings on utility power and protection against power outages. This market diversification positions YouSolar for continued growth and success in the luxury sector and beyond. Click here to read more about YouSolar’s raise and to invest. YouSolar created the PowerBloc®, a solar nanogrid that delivers reliable and clean power with little or no reliance on utility power. Our first customers are high-end homes in Northern California. The PowerBloc uses a patented modular and highly scalable power architecture. To accelerate sales and take the PowerBloc global, we are developing a stackable PowerBloc that is plug-and-play. The PowerBloc allows people to power their lives independently and accelerates the transition to a clean-energy world. This post contains sponsored content.

The Problems Killing Web3 Projects - How Enflux's 2-Week Free Solution Can Help

Enflux

This article delves into these pressing issues, exploring their implications and unveiling how they stalled growth for numerous projects. We're also shedding light on solutions that could help projects navigate through these murky waters. The Lack of Transparency Among Market Makers The cryptocurrency market, known for its pillars of transparency, trustlessness, and "don't trust, verify" philosophy, has rapidly grown in popularity. However, Web3 unexpectedly grapples with an opaque issue: the lack of transparency among market makers. This problem primarily affects small and mid-cap projects. These small teams normally lack the expertise and tools to assess the performance of these market makers. Ultimately, they could easily be taken advantage of by the market makers. Market makers play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy trading environment. However, their lack of transparency about their real performance (in spread and depth) and lack of education about the project can lead to underperformance without projects even being aware of this. How could projects not be aware of the issue? For instance, market makers might mask the actual performance with a focus on volume reports masking the real performance of market makers, which is normally characterized both by the order book depth and the percentage spread. Consequently, these projects are not able to benefit from the robust market and increased adoption/trading volume that a fair market maker should help create. With little transparency, Web3 projects might find themselves dealing with underperforming market makers without them realizing this. With a not-so-healthy market, the Web3 overall adoption rate proved to be lower, even when the marketing operations of the projects involved were consistent. Besides, they miss out on vital market metrics like organic volume and organic liquidity. This knowledge could provide valuable insights into project growth. Consider the case of a small-cap cryptocurrency project that entrusts its market-making to a third party. Despite significant marketing efforts, the project may struggle to gain traction due to wide trading spreads and inadequate depth to attract investors. Upon closer inspection, it may become evident that the market maker was not maintaining a healthy trading environment. Ultimately, this situation would inevitably have a negative impact on the project's growth. This lack of transparency among market makers and its detrimental impact on project growth are closely linked. Without a thriving market, projects struggle to attract traders, users, and investors, hindering adoption. Furthermore, these projects are left in the dark about their growth trajectory without access to crucial market metrics. Therefore, the need for increased transparency is indispensable for the sustainable growth of these projects in the crypto ecosystem. Solving the Problem Through Commitment to Transparency A transparent market-making solution can effectively address this issue. It would involve real-time and historical dashboards, providing a snapshot of market activities at any moment. This allows projects to verify performance and glean valuable market insights. Enflux and very few other market makers are among the web3 market makers that offer such transparent market-making solutions. By prioritizing transparency, it provides projects with an accurate understanding of their market situation, empowering them to make informed decisions. In an industry where "don't trust, verify" is the mantra, transparency and information symmetry are essential. In this context, market makers like Enflux can help projects navigate the complexities of the market by providing Web3 projects with the tools and the knowledge to verify their market-making performance. Limited Collaboration Between Market Makers and Projects Another issue hitting the crypto sphere is the limited collaboration between market makers and project teams. The success of a project hinges on three key pillars, which can be summarized by the following equation: Fundamentals x Marketing x Liquidity Market makers, however, often operate as standalone entities rather than a partner or an extension of the team. They often hold valuable knowledge and expertise that the project does not hold. In fact, market makers typically have very few meetings (once every couple of weeks, rather than once or twice a week) in which the market maker has the opportunity to educate the projects on what is happening in their markets. These meetings are also an occasion to discuss how market makers can support a Web3 project moving to the next steps. All in all, a market maker can support in many other ways a project, besides the mere liquidity provision. It would be a waste for projects not to make use of this vast knowledge. The lack of collaboration leaves these teams in the dark about critical market dynamics and trading strategies. As a result, they have a harder time steering their projects toward success. Consider a tech startup launching its digital token. The team is well-versed in its product and has a robust marketing plan. But without a market maker's insights into liquidity provision and price stability, they may face challenges. For instance, it will likely be hard to attract and retain investors, thereby stalling the project's progress. This disconnection underscores the need for more collaborative relationships between market makers and project teams. Market makers may help project teams navigate crypto marketplaces by sharing their experiences. This symbiosis could ultimately catalyze the successful advancement of many emerging projects. Proposing a More Collaborative Approach A more collaborative approach is needed to bridge the gap between market makers and project teams. Instead of operating as detached entities, market makers should act as team extensions, freely sharing their knowledge and expertise. Market-making performance and project strategy should be discussed at regular meetings. This collaborative approach can help align all stakeholders' efforts toward a common goal. One company paving the way for this change is, once again, Enflux. They're championing a more integrated market-making model to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing. By acting as part of the team, they're helping projects leverage the essential insights needed for success. Through such collaboration, projects can benefit from the unique expertise of market makers. This can aid in understanding the market dynamics better, develop effective trading strategies, and propel the project forward. Therefore, adopting a more collaborative approach to market-making could drive project success in the increasingly competitive crypto landscape. Going on, it will be possible to see market makers as key project team members rather than merely service providers. Enflux's Market-Making Service Enflux's market-making service is designed around the principle of transparency and collaboration. It aims to simplify the market-making process, making it accessible to projects regardless of size or stage. The service begins with an in-depth analysis of the project's unique needs & challenges and an analysis of the current state of the liquidity. A tailored market-making strategy is developed to align with the project's goals and objectives. The service also includes ongoing consulting at no additional charge to ensure the project adapts and thrives in the dynamic crypto market. Enflux provides Web3 projects with the tools (real-time dashboards with 35+ metrics) and the knowledge so that each team can verify its performance based on real liquidity metrics. Enflux's 2-Week Market-Making Trial Enflux offers a free 2-week market-making trial for up to 2 markets. The aim of this operation is to let projects experience what transparent and collaborative market-making looks like. It's possible to address the lack of transparency and limited collaboration issues through Enflux's market-making service. For Web3 projects, this could become a matter of survival in rapidly changing markets. These projects can stay ahead in the competitive crypto scene with Enflux's customized strategies and professional advice. Final Thoughts The advancement of Web3 projects hinges considerably on overcoming challenges such as lack of transparency and limited collaboration in market making. The implementation of new solutions, such as Enflux and a few other Web3 market makers, could be instrumental in driving these projects forward. With these solutions, it becomes crucial for project teams to evaluate their options carefully, take advantage of trial periods, and choose a market-making service that best aligns with their unique needs and goals. It's undeniable that the future of market-making in Web3 is intertwined with collaboration and transparency, and these are on the radar of many industry players. Success, in this scenario, is anticipated to favor teams that embrace these elements and proactively seek insights that encourage growth and sustainability. Contact Details Jelle Buth info@enflux.io
