Nectar AI Raises $3.9M to Build Uncensored Immersive AI Companions

New York, New York, August 26th, 2024, Chainwire

 

Nectar AI, an immersive AI companionship platform, announced today it has raised $3.9 million in funding.

The seed round is co-led by Mechanism Capital and Karatage, with participation from Synergis, Maelstrom (Arthur Hayes), Builder Capital, Baboon, and Decima. Notable angel investors include Tekin Salimi and George Lambeth (Dao5), Albert Chon (Cofounder at Injective), Charles Lu (Cofounder at Espresso Systems), Gabby Dizon (Cofounder at YGG), and several other key figures in the crypto space.

The proceeds will be used to scale the team with several key hires on both the AI and protocol side, as well as increase capacity for new partnerships and affiliates.

Nectar AI’s mission is to allow users to create and interact with AI companions that feel indistinguishable from reality. Leveraging the latest developments in generative AI and web3, Nectar AI allows users to create uncensored & replicable multimodal AI companions in either a realistic or anime style. Users can customize their characters at a level of depth unmatched by other platforms, by detecting user intent and responding appropriately with images or text within seconds. Generative AI video creation is also available on the platform, with more in depth video and voice messages coming soon. In the future, users will be able to port their created companions onchain, giving them full IP ownership of their assets as well as the ability to permissionlessly monetize them.

Currently, over 500,000 users on the platform create both AI stories and companions, which allows storytellers to create rich and dynamic role playing experiences that can range from medieval adventures to different encounters. Companions are AI generated agents that can star in any of these stories, similar to casting an actress for a movie.

Members of the Nectar community have lauded the platform for its ability to make uncensored immersive content for entertainment and emotional support.

One user said, “A recent update allowed me to transform my photos into companions. The new ability to bring portraits to life inspired me to create a music video with one of them as the protagonist. Nectar is such a creator-friendly platform, and I’m really looking forward to more updates and eventually monetize my assets.”

Keccak and Zi, the co-founders of Nectar AI, first met at Stanford and began working on the project in August 2023. Prior, Keccak helped start a prominent AI & crypto fund and Zi made significant contributions to realistic synthetic facial generation at Meta and L1 Blockchains. Nectar is set on developing a new protocol set to release later this year to enable financialization of on-chain AI agents.

Accredited Solutions Reaches Agreement With 100% of Promissory Note Holders for 60-Day Lock-Up and 6-Month Leak-Out on All Conversions

2024-09-18T12:00:00Z

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Accredited Solutions, Inc. (OTC: ASII) ("Accredited Solutions" or the "Company"), the parent company of Diamond Creek Water, is pleased to announce it has successfully reached an agreement with the holders of 100% of the Company’s outstanding variable price conversion securities for a 60-day lock-up and 6-month leak-out on all conversions, as an interim agreement toward full cash redemption.

This interim agreement marks a significant milestone in the Company’s path toward a complete redemption of all outstanding variable price convertible instruments, thus avoiding the issuance of significant additional shares. As part of the redemption plan, Accredited Solutions intends to use proceeds from its upcoming Reg A offering to redeem the variable price convertible securities, thereby avoiding any need for conversion into the Company’s common stock. This strategy is designed to achieve a much lower cost of capital and dramatically limit shareholder dilution.

"We are incredibly humbled by the renewed trust from our financing partners, who are now demonstrating their confidence in our long-term vision," said Eduardo Brito, CEO of Accredited Solutions, Inc. "This agreement is a testament to our strong relationships and commitment to creating shareholder value. The trust placed in us by our financing partners positions them for our exciting future, and we are excited about the path ahead as we work toward our 5-year growth strategy.” This favorable approach not only provides the Company with a cost-effective solution to manage its capital structure but also is expected to provide the platform for necessary capital for future acquisitions and organic growth. Accredited Solutions remains focused on its ambitious 5-year growth plan, which aims to achieve $750 million in annual revenue through both strategic acquisitions and organic expansion across its telco/fintech and beverage divisions.

“We’re excited to move forward with this flexible and highly supportive, balance-sheet-friendly plan,” Brito added. “These agreements set the stage for us to continue our acquisition strategy while strengthening our financial foundation. With the ongoing confidence of our stakeholders, we are firmly shaping our strategy on our way to achieving our $750 million revenue target over the next five years.”

Please be attentive to the 8-K filing relating to these agreements and stay tuned for exciting updates on our progress.
