    The Next-Gen Enterprise and Opportunity Navigator (NEON) program will support global enterprises on their journey into web3, fostering innovation and widespread adoption of blockchain technology.

    The Aleph Zero Foundation, a pioneer in privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure, announces the launch of its NEON Program, a comprehensive initiative designed to support enterprises from various sectors in harnessing the power of blockchain technology. The program will deliver dedicated resources, expert guidance, and ease of access to innovative technology to facilitate deeper integration of privacy-enhancing blockchain technology across various business use-cases.

    The NEON Program goes beyond traditional enterprise support by offering a comprehensive suite of resources tailored to each member’s unique needs and ambitions in the web3 space. At its core, the program provides a team of dedicated business and technical experts who work closely with members to navigate the complexities of web3 integration. 

    The program caters to a wide range of companies, from those taking their first steps into web3 to seasoned players. This hands-on approach is complemented by a wealth of educational resources, in-depth workshops, and tailored support designed to keep members at the forefront of market and tech developments. By fostering connections with industry experts and exploring potential new revenue streams through ecosystem participation, the NEON Program empowers enterprises to not just adapt to the evolving digital landscape, but to actively shape it.

    “Blockchain technology is rapidly expanding into diverse industries, powering an ever-growing array of use cases,” said Antoni Zolciak, Co-founder of Aleph Zero. “As this landscape evolves, businesses need expert guidance to navigate and harness this technology effectively. We’re incredibly proud to launch the NEON Program, offering tailored support that empowers enterprises at all stages of blockchain adoption. Our goal is to foster innovation, drive adoption, and help businesses unlock the full potential of web3 in their operations.”

    Strategic Partnerships Across Industries

    Aleph Zero has already secured partnerships with global leaders in the telecommunications sector, including Deutsche Telekom and stc Bahrain, demonstrating the blockchain’s capability to meet the rigorous demands of large-scale operations. The program is expanding to include companies and organizations from various industries:

    • Pairpoint (A Vodafone and Sumitomo Company): Born from two leading multinationals, Vodafone and Sumitomo, Pairpoint enables devices to act as autonomous ‘economic agents’, allowing them to transact directly between them to create better user experiences. For example, electric cars can pay for their energy, delivery trucks can sell spare capacity, or smart meters can sell their solar production to their neighbors.
    • CAMARA Foundation (Linux Foundation): Launched in 2021 under the Linux Foundation and GSMA, the CAMARA Project aims to standardize APIs for telecommunications networks. Aleph Zero joined as the first blockchain General Member to develop and contribute to blockchain-specific initiatives. A key focus of this collaboration is the Blockchain Public Address API, which could revolutionize how users interact with blockchain technologies on mobile devices.

    “At Pairpoint, we’re exploring privacy-focused technologies in the evolving ‘Economy of Things,’ where devices are becoming smarter and more autonomous,” said Siva Balasuriyar, CFO and Web3 Lead at Pairpoint. “Joining the NEON program provides Pairpoint with the resources and partnerships we need to strengthen our own knowledge, whilst collaborating with Aleph Zero and others in navigating this groundbreaking landscape. Supported by this partnership, Pairpoint will deploy and operate validator nodes to enhance the resilience and security of the blockchain infrastructure.”

NEON is designed to help members effectively navigate the ecosystem, providing crucial support and fostering collaboration. With Aleph Zero’s unique technology stack that features advanced zero-knowledge privacy capabilities, the program is particularly appealing for applications requiring stringent data privacy.

    Statt Secures $2.8 Million Seed Round to Scale its AI and Data SaaS Platform for Public Policy and Regulatory Insights and Analysis

    2024-09-19T18:01:00Z

    The round was led by Moneta Ventures, and includes participation from Clutch VC, Next Coast Ventures, and NextGen Venture Partners

    WASHINGTON and AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Statt Inc., an innovative big data and artificial intelligence company for the public policy, regulatory, and strategic communications sectors, today announced it secured $2.8 million in seed funding. The round is led by Moneta Ventures, and includes participation from Clutch VC, Next Coast Ventures and NextGen Venture Partners.

    Statt’s latest funding follows a $1.6 million pre-seed round led by NextGen in Nov. 2020, and will enable Statt to expand its sales, marketing, engineering, and machine learning teams to accelerate the development and deployment of its SaaS platform.

    Statt leverages cutting-edge AI, along with its proprietary global data stream of hundreds of millions of public policy documents to deliver real-time insights, streamline research processes and risk assessment, and enhance decision-making capabilities for large companies, professional services firms, government agencies, and smaller policy organizations seeking to navigate complex regulatory and legislative environments.

    Statt is led by its two co-founders, Steve Glickman, CEO, and Andrew Platt, Head of Product, who share deep policy backgrounds. Steve previously served as Co-Founder and CEO of the Economic Innovation Group, senior economic advisor for the White House National Security Council, and a committee staffer on Capitol Hill. Andrew was previously elected to the Maryland General Assembly, served as a congressional leadership staffer, and as an executive at an education and fintech company.

    “We are thrilled to partner with several best-in-class investors as we continue our journey to revolutionize the application of AI to complex flows of information across the public policy and regulatory affairs spaces,” said Steve Glickman, Co-Founder and CEO of Statt. “With this new funding, we will scale our team, grow our first-to-market data stream, and expand our analytics solutions to empower our customers to proactively navigate and shape the policy landscape.”

    Statt already counts several influential corporations and professional services firms among its customers and partners, including Microsoft, Visa, FTI Consulting, and Avoq. Notably, Statt was accepted into the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program, as well as the Google for Startups Program and the NVIDIA Inception Program, which have collectively awarded the company $700,000 in cloud computing credits.

    “Statt’s platform has been instrumental in helping us anticipate regulatory changes and understand their potential impacts across different markets,” said Brent McGoldrick, Senior Managing Director, FTI Consulting. “Working with their AI platform gives our experts great access to a wide range of range of capabilities and insights.”

    The investments from leading VC firms like Moneta, Clutch, Next Coast, and NextGen underscores the growing excitement behind cutting-edge AI companies with products tailored to large sectors previously underserved by technology solutions.

    “Statt is uniquely positioned at the intersection of AI and public policy, two areas undergoing rapid change,” said Aasim Hasan, Managing Partner at Moneta Ventures. “Their leadership team and technologists are truly industry experts, and we are excited to support Statt as it brings innovative technology to a space that is ripe for disruption and offers tremendous potential for growth and impact.”
