Successful axle.ai Equity Crowdfunding Campaign on Republic.co Passes $250,000 Raised With 4 Days Remaining.

Boston, MA, USA | September 23, 2021 -- Video management software vendor axle.ai was just covered in the prominent Business Insider website https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/axle-ai-the-search-engine-for-internal-media-files-is-equity-crowdfunding-to-make-video-editing-simpler-1030818742 , in an article describing axle’s startup journey and Republic.co equity crowdfunding round which ends midnight Pacific Time on Monday, Sept. 27th.

Axle’s previous equity crowdfunding round, in 2020, was oversubscribed, and the current round is rapidly approaching a similar outcome – over $250,000 (10x the original goal of $25,000) out of a possible $428,000 in this round is already committed. A 3-minute pitch video featuring the axle.ai management team can be viewed at https://tinyurl.com/axlein3mins , and the Republic campaign page is at https://republic.co/axle-ai .

The equity crowdfunding campaign highlights axle.ai 2021, the company’s browser-based remote media search software. The software includes a browser front end allowing multiple users to tag, catalog and search their media files, as well as a range of AI-driven options for automatically cataloging and discovering specific visual and audio attributes within those files. For instance, audio tracks can be automatically transcribed, with the resulting transcript immediately searchable in the timeline; likewise, axle.ai provides face recognition with integrated training for new faces over time. The modular nature of the system supports additional plug-ins for object and logo recognition, and identification of sports highlights. The software can be used to create distributed team workflows for storage pools that would otherwise be siloed and hard to search. To date, axle.ai has more than 700 customers worldwide, including high-profile names such as the NY Yankees, Madison Square Garden, the LA Clippers, PWC, Elevation Church, Paramount and Warner Bros. A recent profile of an axle customer, reality TV production house Pie Town (producers of HGTV’s House Hunting and Flip or Flop shows), can be viewed at youtu.be/H1xkcQ0YJO8.

One key for axle.ai in the last two years has been its software’s ability to enable remote work by video production teams. Often, video collaboration has relied on manual transfer of files between sites, often using portable hard drives and Fedex. Having a browser-based solution gives media teams much more flexibility in managing and staffing their projects to a quick outcome, and the ability to use AI-driven engines to search and reuse the content makes it much more valuable and relevant for modern marketing purposes, especially via social media.

Given the vast amounts of video – often many terabytes – that can be accumulated by a video team in even a single shoot, this system allows rapid search and management of those files over time. The software also includes a range of plug-in panels for Adobe’s Creative Cloud application suite software, which allow creative team members on any Mac or Windows laptop to directly search, access, and download media files wherever they are located. In addition, the company offers a no-code workflow automation tool, Connectr, as well as a freemium speech transcription tool, Ascribe. These are complementary to its core media management software and together provide a complete solution for axle.ai’s customers.

• This month, axle.ai announced that it had completed acquisition of Noscos, an AI/ML startup focusing on face recognition and logo recognition applications. This further enhances axle.ai’s technology stack while bringing new management strength to its engineering team in Eastern Europe.

• Another major announcement by the company was securing its largest deal ever – a $365,000 deployment at a major Asia-Pacific region broadcaster. Combined with other significant new customers as well as the new partnership with Seagate, this puts the company on track for a record year, with sales roughly double its 2020 tally.

• A recent strategic partnership with storage vendor Seagate is driving a new level of opportunity for axle.ai, as joint sales efforts target large brands and media organizations with significant storage needs. The two companies have concluded their first joint sale, with womens’ media network Togethxr, which includes Seagate’s Lyve Cloud and LaCie products, as well as axle.ai 2021.

Sam Bogoch, CEO of axle.ai, said “For years, creative teams have expressed the need for a simplified and cost-efficient way to remotely search and manage their content. Legacy solutions for broadcasters have been expensive and complex, but our mission is to state-of-the-art AI and MAM (media asset management) capabilities to the widest possible range of creative teams. Our second successful Republic equity crowdfunding raise is helping us achieve these goals.”

There is a worldwide explosion of video content. The market intelligence firm IDC has estimated that the sum of data generated globally by 2025 is set to accelerate exponentially to 175 zettabytes. A growing, double-digit percentage of this storage is used to house media files. Meanwhile, approximately 400,000 video teams worldwide are responsible for capturing, editing, and managing this content, but much of it becomes difficult to leverage soon after capture; in a report commissioned by axle.ai’s partner Seagate, IDC estimates that more than two-thirds of data stored is not readily searchable or available for access after initial use.

Google Workspace users worldwide adopt Clariti “TopicFolders” as a Work Hub.

Fort Lee, NJ - USA | September 20, 2021 -- CCE Technologies, Inc., a technology startup based in Fort Lee, New Jersey, announced that since its introduction of TopicFolders earlier this year, it has been seeing continuing interest and increased adoption from Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) users who continue to adopt Clariti’s TopicFolders as their Work Hub.

Clariti’s (www.clariti.app) TopicFolders provide users the ability to seamlessly integrate team chatting and calling with individual email and calendar and organize everything by topic. This has proved to be very useful for small businesses particularly as they are beneficiaries of significant productivity gains because of this unique way of organizing their team’s work in one app, by topic.

“It is no secret that a lot of small businesses and startups naturally gravitate towards Google Workspace, formerly G Suite, for their communication needs. However, it has its limitations. Although it has all the building blocks required for communication, it is not designed to work in concert. That leads to a bunch of disconnected discussions, often times on the same topic, spread across their email, chat, call…apps. Retrieving information in this disconnected ecosystem is a major productivity drain, something that small businesses and startups can hardly afford. The way we have been seeing continued interest from Google Workspace users to our TopicFolder messaging proves that this was a void in the marketplace that Clariti has been successful in filling,” said Vinay Wagle, V.P. Sales & Marketing at CCE Technologies, Inc.

Since securing funding late last year, Clariti has been singularly focused on increasing personal and team productivity, especially in small businesses and startups. It was quick to separate itself from other chat-focused apps like Slack and Teams and present a viable alternative that doesn’t force users to give up emails and yet not hamper productivity.

“TopicFolder seamlessly organizes communication from any source and allows users to naturally go from sharing an email from a customer with an accompanying chat with a colleague, to sharing a document with the whole team and gathering their feedback before responding to the customer. Clariti captures the relationships between these disparate communications and automatically stores them in uniquely named TopicFolders to significantly drive productivity. There is no wasted time searching, and no need to change the way you work. Simply process emails, chats, and documents like you always do and voila, they are all organized,” added Vinay.

Clariti is packed with features to drive effective communications seamlessly with people within the company and outside. Some of the key features of Clariti includes:

* Easy organizing using TopicFolders
* Full-featured email client
* One-on-one & group chats with people in your team
* Chat with people outside your team using OrbitChat
* Direct & Conference calling and screen-sharing
* Calendar for To-dos/Events
* Built-in document storage
* Cloud Storage integration
* Chat directly from an email – no need to forward emails
* Create to-do from email or chat to preserve context

Clariti is securely hosted on Amazon Web Services, providing total reliability, 100% uptime and trusted security. It uses 256-bit SHA encryption for both data and communications.

Clariti has received rave reviews from industry analysts and been featured in several leading publications including Futurism, Entrepreneur, Computer World, VentureBeat, PCWorld, BoingBoing and Black Enterprise among others.

Clariti is available for free for all users. Premium features are available for a low monthly fee. For complete pricing information, visit https://clariti.app/pricing/.

Advanced military platforms, ocean-bottom survey systems and remote sensing applications all require precise timing for mission success. Chip Scale Atomic Clocks (CSACs) ensure stable and accurate timing even when Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) time signals are unavailable. Helping industrial and military system designers to meet this requirement, Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announced its new SA65 CSAC, providing precise timing accuracy and stability in extreme environments.

Microchip’s SA65 CSAC is an embedded timing solution with improved environmental ruggedness, delivering higher performance than the previous SA.45s CSAC, including double the frequency stability over a wider temperature range and faster warm-up at cold temperatures. The SA65 has an operating temperature range of -40 to 80 degrees Celsius (^oC) and a storage temperature range of -55 to 105 ^oC. The warm-up time of two minutes at -40 ^oC is 33% faster than that of the SA.45s.

Together, these SA65 CSAC performance improvements benefit designers of highly-portable solutions for military applications such as Assured Position, Navigation and Timing (A-PNT) and command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C5ISR) requiring precise frequencies generated by a low Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) atomic clock. Improvements such as fast warm-up to frequency after cold start, temperature stability over a wide operating range, and frequency accuracy and stability enabling extended operation while GNSS is denied help to ensure mission success in conflict environments.

The SA65 CSAC is the world’s lowest-power commercial atomic clock and provides precise timing for portable and battery-powered applications requiring continuous operation and holdover in GNSS-denied environments. The SA65 is form-, fit- and function-compatible with the SA.45s, which minimizes risk and redesign costs for the system developer while improving performance and environmental insensitivity.

As a world leader in the research, development and manufacture of timing and synchronization solutions, Microchip has delivered more than 275,000 rubidium clocks, 138,000 CSACs, 12,500 Cesium clocks and 200 active hydrogen masers to customers worldwide.

Development Tools

The CSAC family of atomic clocks is supported by Developer Kit 990-00123-000, as well as associated software, a user guide and technical support.
