How IZEA Worldwide (NASDAQ: IZEA) Is Leading The World Into The Creator Economy Era

Benzinga

By James Blacker, Benzinga As the influence of social media platforms has grown and technological advancements have lowered barriers to content creation, individuals have been leveraging their talent to connect directly with audiences and make money on their own terms – ushering in the age of the creator economy. According to Goldman Sachs Research, some 50 million global creators – from gamers to musicians, artists, podcasters and vloggers – make up the creator economy. This figure is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10-20% between 2023-2028, growing to $480 billion from $250 billion in 2023, and driven by monetization of short-form video platforms via advertising. The rise of the creator economy has had an immense impact on marketing strategies across sectors and industries. Brands are spending more and more on creators and less on traditional advertising. Tech firms such as IZEA Worldwide (NASDAQ: IZEA), Aspire IQ and Upfluence offer tools to support creators and help bridge the gap with their clients, increasing profitability while helping brands garner eyeballs. IZEA: The Creator Economy Trailblazer MarTech firm and industry pioneer IZEA have been instrumental in shaping the creator economy, having created the first ever influencer marketing platform back in 2006. Even before then, founder and CEO Ted Murphy was one of the first to use the influence of bloggers and social media stars to promote brands. IZEA’s award-winning influencer marketing platform, IZEA Flex, connects creators with brands to facilitate collaborations. Its suite of tools allows companies to find influencers, manage campaigns and analyze performance. How IZEA Has Helped Creators Over The Years What sets IZEA apart is its commitment to making opportunities available to all creators, both big and small. Its marketplace allows influencers of all sizes to connect with brands, ensuring that even niche creators can find lucrative partnerships. Among IZEA’s software offerings is FormAI, a suite of AI tools for both brands and creators to create high-quality images, text and video. Within FormAI, both brands and creators can use ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion and other AI tools to generate content for Instagram posts, TikTok captions, blog posts and more. In a recent interview with Benzinga, Murphy said that more and more brands are starting to invest in user-generated content. Capitalizing on this trend, in Dec. 2023, IZEA acquired advocate marketing platform Zuberance, which allows companies to recruit their own customers as ambassador content creators to grow brand awareness organically. Award-Winning Tech And Campaigns IZEA’s innovations have earned it numerous accolades, including the Best Influencer Marketing Company at the 2023 MarTech Breakthrough Awards. The company’s full-service influencer marketing campaigns have also earned industry recognition, with awards for its campaigns carried out with Warner Bros (NASDAQ: WBD), the US Marines, Acer, Toyota (NYSE: TM), among many others. For investors, the creator economy represents a dynamic and evolving sector with continuing growth potential. IZEA’s innovative platform and proven track record potentially make it a company to watch in this new era of digital creativity. Featured photo by Adem AY on Unsplash.

AI's Promise On Display: BEN Collaborates With SAIL, Of Weill Cornell Medical Center, To Explore AI For Training Doctors, Improving Patient Outcomes

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga AI is taking off and that’s not lost on Brand Engagement Network Inc. (NASDAQ: BNAI) investors. The maker of AI assistants and avatars just closed a private placement, raising $4.95 million from a group of existing investors. That gives BEN the firepower to continue to develop its AI assistants in-house and through buys. With its human-like AI assistants, BEN is improving businesses’ customer service, productivity and performance, going after markets with a massive workforce gap and an opportunity to transform how consumers engage with networks, providers and brands. The company’s secret sauce is a broad portfolio of conversational AI applications that drive better customer experience, increased automation and operational efficiencies. Take its virtual adherence assistant for the healthcare industry as one example. BEN says its conversational AI can improve patient experiences and medication understanding, leading to better outcomes. Or its “Remember Me” technology which syncs digital and physical interactions for an integrated, personalized customer experience. Investor Show Of Confidence Those advances and many others the company has made since launching its U.S. business in 2018 underpin the why of the recent deal with its existing investors. “The private placement represents a powerful vote of confidence in our strategy from our board, executive team and our existing investors,” said Chairman Chris Gaertner. “This investment will allow BEN to continue to fund its business plan as it seeks to execute on its growth and revenue strategies.” The investment comes as the AI market is taking off, as new use cases validate this transformational technology. The AI market is forecast to soar to $1.3 trillion in the years to come, growing at a CAGR of 42% over the next decade. Rising demand for generative AI products could add about $280 billion of new software revenue, driven by specialized assistants, new infrastructure products and copilots that accelerate coding. Not only did the investors double down on BEN, but they were willing to do so at a premium, purchasing warrants and stock at $2.50 a share – materially above where shares were trading at the time. Some of the investors agreed to provide BEN with additional capital through the exercise of their warrants if the company is unable to raise an additional $3.25 million by October 31, bringing the total investment to $8.25 million. That gives BEN a lot of capital to use to strike up partnerships and make buys. Deep Management Bench It's an area that Michael Zacharski, now co-CEO of BEN after the promotion of Paul Chang to the newly created role of co-CEO, will head up. Zacharski has more than 15 years of experience in the tech industry, making a name for himself for his ability to drive growth, optimize operations and spearhead M&A. “This is a pivotal time for the AI industry, and we’re excited about the prospect of partnering with organizations that complement our vision and capabilities,” said Zacharski. “I am excited to focus on furthering the company’s M&A strategy, which we believe will be core to our business strategy moving forward.” Chang, who has been global president since May 2023, will oversee commercial operations as co-CEO, focusing on validating the market and growing the business commercially. Chang spent 18 years at IBM (NYSE: IBM) creating new markets for emerging technologies as well as several start-ups. “I am thrilled to take on the role of co-CEO,” said Chang. “As we transition into delivering value to our customers by commercializing our safe and comprehensive Gen AI Platform, BEN is well positioned both financially and technologically to execute our plans. With our unique design and architecture as well as portfolio of patents, we hope to demonstrate to the market that our AI Assistants are ready to contribute to businesses in areas that can increase CX, help to complete tasks and fuel their growth.” Rounding out the C-Suite at BEN is Chief Financial Officer Bill Willams. Williams brings over twenty years of experience in corporate finance, legal, technology and management consulting to BEN. He is an expert in driving growth, innovation and value creation for emerging growth companies. AI is taking off, and BEN wants to be a leader in helping businesses streamline operations and enhance customer service with this transformational technology. With fresh cash in its coffers and the backing of a supportive board and investors, BEN seems like an AI story to follow. Featured photo by Steve Johnson on Unsplash.

In A Show Of Confidence For OneMeta's AI Technology, Microsoft Adds Verbum For Teams To Its App Stores

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga OneMeta Inc. (OTCQB: ONEI), the AI-powered translation and transcription services company, is making strides in removing language barriers for businesses and consumers. The company recently announced its Verbum for Microsoft Teams was added to all of Microsoft Corp.’s (NASDAQ: MSFT) app stores, including Teams Store, Microsoft AppSource and directly via the Azure Marketplace. That’s a big deal for Bountiful, Utah-based OneMeta, which is busy churning out advanced technology that translates and transcribes spoken and written words in seconds across multiple languages. Being added to the Microsoft app stores validates OneMeta’s technology and gives it access to a larger potential customer base. After all, over one million businesses use Teams, including 91% of Fortune 100 companies. “Since OneMeta achieved Microsoft co-sell-ready status, we have seen significant interest from customers who want to apply the Verbum software to their usage of Microsoft Teams in the 140+ languages we offer,” said Saul Leal, CEO of OneMeta. “The certification by Microsoft brings confidence to our clients and to the great work that OneMeta is pioneering in the space. We can bring our AI for translation and transcription to all enterprises without compromising privacy, compliance, and data security.” Crashing Language Barriers Thanks to the internet, businesses big and small are increasingly global. Whether customers are based around the globe or employees are living in far-flung corners of the world, being able to communicate regardless of their language is key to growing and thriving. It's why the AI translation and transcription industry is growing. In 2023, the global natural language processing market was valued at $24.10 billion. By 2032, it is expected to reach $158.04 billion, growing at a CAGR of 23.2% during the forecast period. OneMeta wants to be a leading player in the space, translating in near real-time whether users are attending a live event, participating in an online meeting, or talking on the phone. Thanks to its proprietary NLP technology, the company specializes in breaking down linguistic barriers in a multilingual world. It ensures fast and accurate translations and transcriptions. OneMeta recently reduced the translation and transcription speed of over 150 languages and dialects to less than 200 milliseconds. Augmenting Microsoft Teams While Microsoft Teams provides live captioning capabilities in various languages, OneMeta said Verbum enhances that by delivering simultaneous interpretation across over 140 languages by harnessing state-of-the-art AI. With Verbum for Teams, multilingual groups can truly come together in meetings. Each attendee chooses the language they are speaking in and the language they want to see captions and chat in. As each person speaks in their preferred language from a list of 95+ languages, it is translated in near real-time for the rest of the group. OneMeta says Verbum for Teams is meticulously designed for seamless integration with Microsoft Teams to ensure all participants in video conferences and collaborative engagements can interact smoothly, transcending language barriers. That can empower organizations to cultivate more inclusive and engaging interactions, augmenting the inherent functionalities of Microsoft Teams and expanding the scope of communication possibilities while maintaining an optimal user experience, said OneMeta. "Now that Verbum for Teams is available on the Teams store, AppSource Marketplace, the Azure Marketplace, and the Microsoft Certification has been published, we expect to see Verbum's adoption and growth by organizations that need multi-language translation and transcription,” Alessandro Balzarelli, Director at Microsoft Industry Solutions Engineering, said. “Verbum empowers Microsoft Teams users to be more efficient and more inclusive within their own organizations and with their own customers." Communications are the backbone of businesses, whether they are local or operating internationally. OneMeta recognizes that and is developing products to help people do that regardless of their language or platform. Verbum for Teams is a perfect example of that effort. Being part of the Microsoft family goes a long way in showcasing OneMeta’s AI prowess. Featured photo by Dimitri Karastelev on Unsplash.

Italian Founders Fund raises inaugural €50m for seed and pre-seed startups

Italian Founders Fund

Italian Founders Fund (IFF), the first-ever Italian Venture Capital fund created by founders, for founders is today announcing the launch of its debut €50m fund. Backed by a diverse group of Italian entrepreneurs covering a range of generations and sectors, IFF is driven by a shared goal: empowering Italy’s next generation of exceptional talent and digital innovation. With over €50 million of entirely private capital raised, the fund was born as a direct response to the Italian founders community's desire to put Italy on the map of the best spots in Europe to open a company. Italian Founders Fund’s investment strategy focuses on being the lead investor in the pre-seed and seed rounds of innovative startups led by Italian founders, whether operating in Italy or abroad, while also being able to target foreign startups interested in entering the Italian market. IFF is led by Lorenzo Franzi, former partner at Global Founders Capital. Lorenzo brings a remarkable international professional background, ranging from investment banking to experience as the founder of a digital startup. After many years abroad, Lorenzo has returned to Italy to launch the fund by partnering with a group of the best Italian founders. Lorenzo Franzi, founding partner at Italian Founders Fund commented: “A new chapter has begun for the Italian Venture Capital ecosystem. We’ve brought over 100 founders onboard, including key figures from Italy’s entrepreneurial and innovation sector, and we also have representatives from the firmly established business owner/investor community. This positions us to set up a truly integrated system that can promote and support Italy’s promising ecosystem both at home and on the global map. We are convinced that by unifying the country's ambitions and talents, we’ll help shape our future economy for the better. “Thanks to the background and network of our founder-investors, we aim to enable promising projects to emerge and grow, transforming untapped potential into companies capable of generating value, change, and jobs. I believe this is a significant sign of maturity for the Italian digital ecosystem, as seen in other countries where the presence of VC funds fueled by private capital and the experience of successful founders is a clear indication of a maturing and growing ecosystem.” The fund, housed within the management company Koinos Capital SGR, stands out on the peninsula for its uniquely collaborative community approach. In addition to funding, IFF offers its portfolio companies the expertise, experience, time, and network of a diverse and highly qualified investor base. Within the IFF, founder investors also actively participate in the process of identifying investment opportunities and analyzing them, allowing the investment team to gain an even deeper understanding of the sector and the challenges faced by target companies. By becoming the top investment network for ambitious Italian founders, IFF will serve as a privileged gateway for international funds looking to invest in Italy, facilitating co-investment from the earliest stages. IFF aims to complete 25 transactions over its investment period, with initial investments ranging from €500,000 to €1.5 million and the possibility of accessing an additional €2.5 million in subsequent rounds. From the very beginning of its fundraising stage, the initiative has registered remarkable interest, allowing the fund to quickly finalize its first two investments. The first announced investment is in Jet HR, a tech company focused on removing the pain of HR management bureaucracy. This investment marked the largest pre-seed round in Italy, with IFF co-investing alongside Exor Ventures. And it’s paying off: in just a few months since its official launch, JetHR has already achieved €1 million in annual recurring revenue, positioning itself among the top 10% of Software as a Service startups in the world when comparing rapid growth. IFF’s second investment has been made in Glaut, aiming to improve the market research and surveys sector using artificial intelligence. Glaut's round involved the participation of various international funds and angels. Beyond these completed deals, three new transactions are currently in the finalization stage. Marco Ogliengo, founder and CEO at Jet HR added: “So many VCs claim there's more value than just the money but, too often, founders are left shortchanged on value. IFF is unique, however, as it's backed by basically every successful Italian founder, and the partners are founders themselves. It's a very powerful network, giving you better access than any other VC in Italy can today." Marco Morgese, CEO of the management company KOINOS Capital SGR commented: "This type of founder-led fund is already prevalent in markets where innovation is at the forefront of industrial development policies. We see them in the USA with Founders Fund, which has been around for almost 20 years, as well as in Europe where 10x founders operates in Germany, Galion.exe in France, ByFounders in Scandinavia, and Dutch Founders Fund in the Netherlands. Given the crucial role of innovation in the country's industrial development, the IFF project represents the natural evolution of Koinos. We have been transitioningfrom a private equity fund supporting small and medium-sized Italian businesses to a multi-asset platform encompassing both private equity and venture capital, all while maintaining a strong entrepreneurial spirit.” About Italian Founders Fund Italian Founders Fund (IFF) is the first-ever Italian Venture Capital fund created by founders, for founders. Backed by a diverse group of Italian entrepreneurs covering a range of generations and sectors, the fund was born in direct response to the Italian founders community's desire to put Italy on the map of the best spots in Europe to open a company.

Dogwifhat Holders Are Looking For Alternatives Dogwifhat is a popular meme coin held by many investors and there has been an uptrend in its value judging from when it started.

Ripple Selling 400m XRP, Price Dump Incoming? JASMY Fluctuates As Investors Shift To New Viral Contender

Total Media

The longstanding Ripple (XRP) lawsuit is affecting XRP's trading price, and its investors are getting agitated. Apparently, Ripple could be facing a long year in the crypto market with all the token dumps this year. The other option is not so great either, as JasmyCoin's recent pumps and dips have left the long-term users in doubt. Here's a bit on the upcoming meme giant. Ripple is facing even grimmer times ahead in the crypto market If you thought XRP was in bearish waters, the next few weeks are about to get rougher. And it has a lot to do with the ongoing legal battles with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Already, Ripple's place among the top altcoins is threatened. About two weeks ago, some whale accounts dumped their tokens on BitStamp and Bitso, amounting to about $50 Million worth of XRP. While many thought that it might just be Ripple unlocking more tokens, there's been a more recent three-billion-dollar offload from the Escrow account to Ripple's wallet. The huge Ripple price movements have been suspect among Ripple whales, and there could be sell pressure on the XRP token following such activities. So far, Ripple hasn't offered any explanation for the huge movements, and XRP is still on a 0.33% loss after a largely unremarkable month. JasmyCoin (JASMY) might not be the alternative investors expect JasmyCoin hit the crypto news with its pump two weeks ago, which has helped JASMY to 99% monthly gains. May was a great month for JASMY, but the token fell due to token dumping early in June. DWF Labs deposited about 97 million JASMY tokens ($3.3 million) on Binance over the past three days, resulting in a dip in JasmyCoin's timeframes at every deposit. The cascade didn't end there, as many more JasmyCoin traders have also decided to cash in on the token. The profit-taking has eaten into the JASMY price pump throughout May, and the token is now down to 2.24% on the daily chart. The effects of large token holders could affect traders, and many investors are already off to the next big thing in the crypto market. Thankfully, it's not too far away; Raboo's presale is here! Raboo is a more consistent bullish option for summer traders Raboo opened the summer with $0.003 on its presale, and everyone expects a spike of 233% from the event. The $RABT token has pumped to 60% profits, as each token now goes for $0.0048. The meme project will leverage AI to create memes fit for entertainment. Unlike its meme counterparts, Raboo plans to keep the meme stream fresh every day. With even funnier memes, $RABT is set to become the next best thing in the crypto-verse. The traffic that will hit the platform could bring a pump to outpace Dogecoin's surge in 2021. However, profits are not all Raboo has its sights on. The members of the $RABT community are the first beneficiaries of the ecosystem. They have a chance to monetize their social media posts through Raboo, as the generative AI is on hand to convert all that content into profits. Conclusion The fun part about Raboo is that you can start earning even more $RABT tokens as soon as you get some of yours from the presale. The project is in Stage 4 of presales and going for $0.0048. Stage 1 investors are already pocketed 60% ROI, and Raboo could turn in 100x gains once it lists. With its AI use cases, your Raboo investments are set for life.

As the spot Ethereum ETF receives approval, Bitcoin surpasses $70,000, and popular meme coins continue to emerge, the cryptocurrency market is signaling the start of a bull run. According to CoinMarketCap data, spot trading volume and futures open interest have been climbing in recent days. Accordingly, crypto earning products often provide higher annualized returns than usual, making them a crucial avenue for investors to boost their yields beyond trading. However, with a wide variety of crypto earning products available in the market, how can investors find the most suitable options? Now, let's turn our attention to the lucrative products of Simple Earn and Shark Fin, designed by HTX, the world-leading crypto exchange, to meet the investment needs of different users.
