FTN Network, a data company specializing in delivering affordable, customizable, extraordinarily detailed and accurate data for betting, season-long fantasy and daily fantasy today announced the closing of its $500,000 Bridge Round, which oversubscribed; with the help of Techstars, a global accelerator for technology startups. FTN was selected to participate in the Techstars Sports Accelerator Powered by Indy program in Indianapolis in April 2022. FTN is now actively raising a $3–5 million seed round to help expedite and scale the company, building on its robust early growth in traffic, subscription revenues and social media engagement. More specifically: Q1 2023 traffic was up 54% (year-over-year) across the FTN network of sites. Q1 2023 subscription revenue was up 34% (year-over-year) across the FTN network of sites. FTN YouTube views are up 32% (year-over-year) and overall subscribers are up 31% (year-over-year). FTN Podcast Network downloads are up 25% (year-over-year) “Our goal and mission with FTN was to create a fantasy and sports betting data company that allowed any user — from those with a limited budget to a top-of-the-line sportsbook — the flexibility to use our data and tools in ways that fit their specific needs. We never wanted to box our customers into a rigid system. Our exemplary year-over-year results are proof that our vision is filling a great need in the market,” said Kevin Adams, CEO of FTN Network. “The closing of our bridge round from the Techstars Accelerator is going to help us invest in areas of our business where we’re seeing strong engagement, create new strategic partnerships with providers, tech companies and sportsbooks, and expand our talent pool with new developers and advisors to continue scaling and building one of the most innovative sites in the industry.” In recent months, FTN has signed strategic partnerships with companies such as Sorare, Bettle and Prediction Strike, and rolled out two significant new tools which are gaining popularity with users and achieving significant traction in Google search results. First, its Same Game Parlay Tool on FTNBets.com takes APIs from the six largest US sportsbooks and compares a user's same game parlay line with FTN Data projections to create “True Odds.” This allows the user to stay away from bad payouts and shop for the best odds. Second is their Player Prop Tool, which shows the best player prop bets available using their FTN Data projections to calculate win%, edge and expected value while offering the best line on the market to place that bet. This allows users to leverage FTN Data to make the most educated player prop bets as possible. “As we look toward our next round of funding, our sights are focused on scaling our existing products and services, and integrating the NBA and PGA into FTN Data, all while expanding into the business-to-business (B2B) market with FTN Data. By investing in more charters (people watching games and collecting data in real time) we’ll have the ability to push our data to clients quicker, creating an opportunity for our users to make smarter and faster decisions,” said Stefano Vaccarino, FTN’s Chief Marketing Officer. “We at FTN are relentless in our approach to innovation and our goal of providing the most customizable data sets and products for each customer or corporation.” For more information on FTN’s products and services, please visit its network of sites: FTNFantasy.com, FTNDaily.com and FTNBets.com.

The Future of Supply Chain Transparency: How Security Matters' Blockchain Solution is Changing the Game

Security Matters PLC

In a recent interview with New to the Street’s Ana Berry, Haggai Alon, founder and CEO of Security Matters (NASDAQ: SMX), discussed how the company's technology is revolutionizing supply chain authentication, traceability, and transparency. Security Matters' innovative solution marks materials with a virtual memory of their origination, with the data recorded on the blockchain. This technology is helping to create transparency and efficiency across various industries, such as fashion and plastics. Supply Chain Authentication Market Estimated CAGR of 12.6% Between 2022 and 2031 The horizon for the supply chain authentication market is brimming with potential, as global growth prospects appear bright. A remarkable $2 billion market size in 2021 is expected to surge to an astonishing $6.3 billion by 2031, propelled by a stupendous compound annual growth rate of 12.6% from 2022 to 2031. This momentous growth is rooted in the escalating requirement for supply chain transparency, escalating occurrences of cyberattacks throughout supply chains, and the implementation of innovative technologies to amplify security measures. As the market continues to expand, the demand for secure and reliable supply chain solutions has become a driving force. Businesses are seeking out innovative tools that can help them identify and mitigate potential risks in real time. With greater visibility and transparency, decision-making is becoming more informed and precise than ever before. Furthermore, the cloud is proving to be a game-changer, with its ability to support various architectures and developer tools that can enhance both professional and web-based applications. So, it's no surprise that cloud deployment types are expected to experience the highest growth during the forecast period. SMX’s Technology and Unique Characteristics By reducing dependence on sourcing materials from subcontractors outside the United States and increasing the ability to use waste materials, Security Matters' technology enables companies to maintain growth and profitability. This is achieved by being present at every stage of a material's lifecycle, from virgin raw material to end-of-life recycling. Allen believes that growth and sustainability can coexist, with Security Matters' technology providing a unique toolbox for companies to maintain a healthy economy. By helping companies use more recycled content and providing a single technology that covers everything from sourcing to production to recycling, Security Matters gives businesses a competitive advantage. The company originated from the Israeli government, with a team of scientists developing the technology and filing nearly 100 patents on 50 different materials. One example of the technology's application is in the fashion industry, particularly in the leather market. Security Matters' technology marks leather at various stages of production, allowing brands to provide their customers with greater transparency and fostering a new level of relationship in the digital world. Blockchain plays a crucial role in Security Matters' solution, as unique molecular sequences are added at each stage of the material's lifecycle. This provides an additional layer of data per the request of stakeholders or brands, which can be read and extracted at any stage with a single reader. This comprehensive approach to supply chain transparency has the potential to significantly impact industries worldwide as the market continues to grow at a rapid pace. In conclusion, Security Matters is at the forefront of innovation in supply chain authentication, traceability, and transparency with its groundbreaking technology. As the market size for supply chain authentication continues to soar, driven by increasing demand for transparency and heightened security measures, companies like Security Matters play a pivotal role in shaping the future of this industry. By leveraging blockchain technology, reducing reliance on external subcontractors, and promoting sustainability, Security Matters' solutions have the potential to transform businesses across various sectors. As we move into a digital era that demands greater transparency and efficiency, the company's commitment to providing scalable and eco-friendly solutions could prove to be a game-changer for both businesses and the planet.
